Well i thought they was never put in the game and today i was running seta waiting for some time to pass and i got hit by one.. so i switch to external view and there was a few of them buzzing round my ship.. some was red and some was green :)

its nice to know they have a dodgy auto pilot as well :)

Nope, never seen them yet.

Never seen any in x3r or x3tc. Pretty weird i thought they are a myth that old space pilots talk about :lol:

In Reunion you could get a "bonus" when doing "tour of a lifetime" missions if you happened to fly past a swarm of spaceflies - you get a little message that pops up saying something to the effect of "Wow, everyone dreams of seeing spaceflies, my clients are very happy... yadda yadda yadda".

I had this a few times :)

I've only seen them once in TC, also after sitting quietly for a while on SETA. I didn't get a very good look at them, but seeing them swarming around my ship made me smile.

There seems to be plenty around they're just not very easy to spot since they don't show up on the scanner and they're too small to see visually unless you're right on top of them. Most of the time i've found them has been by accidently by leaving my cursor on auto target and it happens to lock onto a spacefly.

I've heard they're more common around asteroids but i've no idea with there's any truth to that.

I saw some while zipping through a particularly large sector, I want to say in the IV quadrant of the galaxy/universe. One of them went splat against my hull, and I really mean splat, it had the sound effect and all.

Saw some yellowy ones in Scale Plate Green first time I went there. Not seen any since though. Reckon the spacefly hunters are doing better than the protectors in my game.

Hmmmm.... Think I've made a topic pretty much like this before some time... But still- I regularly see Spaceflys... Every time I run SETA and I'm stationary or when I fly near asteroids...
