[TC] Spaceflies collection

[farmerboy]

I have a ship with a spacefly collector. I have found plenty of spaceflies buzzing about in certain sectors especially in unfocused jumpdrive sectors.

My question is how to get them into your cargo bay. It has me completely stumped. No doubt i'm missing something obvious but please put me out of my misery!

I've not tried in TC, but see this X2 FAQ article.

Yes you need ID (use only one) but only 'buzz' for a split (haha) of a second so they don't get killed. You have to be fast because they 'regenerate' after some time and fly away but you can buzz another time. After a few shots they die because IDs do some damage too.

There should be a mission somewhere in one of the plots requiring you to hunt down a particular spacefly. This way we would all learn how to capture them and also would spend some quality time with wildlife.

They have to be hunted because they are agressive...
They 'attack' you if you are in a big ship in an empty sector while waiting via seta and giving commands to speed things up...
They interupt seta (wich is really anoying) by colliding with your ship (dumb flies).
In the Unknown sector at the lower right corner of the universe (except some Khaak sector) they are like a pleague ^^
