UFOs !!!!!!

I was flying thru Desecrated Skies when suddenly this lil discus thingy zipps past me, I target it and it says unknown object, so I follow it, it goes nowhere seemingly (I didn't follow it for long) so I've put a Fujin on it to see where it goes. Has anyone else encountered these things, if so where were you, maybe we can compile a database of where we see these things and figure out what they are and where they are coming from! I'm really intrigued by this because nothing happens in X without a reason and a reaction. I'll keep my Fujin following this guy and see what happens. In the mean time anyone got any theories or even concrete answers?

UFO?!

Not likely.

You probably just saw an Arrow or something, but from a funny angle.

True. Most of the time there is neither reason nor reaction. If still in doubt, [url=http://forum.egosoft.com/search/index.html?template=default&style=default.css][b]Li[/b]nk[b]Li[/b]st[/url]

You never know, he might have even just seen an M0, or the Valhalla, but from a long way away...

Too much X-Files I presume... You should have some sleep.

It"s a flying saucer type ship which seems to just fly around the universe all the time- pot luck if you happen to notice it when it happens to be in the same sector as you. It has flashing lights. I"ve taken screenshots of it now and again- don"t ask me to post "em- I wouldn"t know how! Don"t know if there is more than one- guess just the one. Doesn"t seem to land at all as far as I know. But maybe I"ve just been playing too long and it"s just a mirage!

Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow, Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow. None have ever caught him yet, for Tom, he is the master: His songs are stronger songs, and his feet are faster.

What's with the Tom?

Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bambadillo!
By water, wood and hill, by the reed and willow,
By fire, sun an moon, harken now and hear us!
Come, Tom Bombadil, for our need is near us!

Anyway,

were you suggesting that the UFOs are just a random misfit that runs around an no-one knows where tey're from?

Must be a mass hallucination. I've seen it myself on two seperate occassions. Don't remember which sectors though. I also picked up "unknown object" in first unknown sector west of maelstom. Hit install and is now in a missle bay. Gonna have to launch it and see what it does.

If you're playing Reunion that'll be a Hammerhead.

(most likely)

I saw one in Profit Center Alpha last night.

Or maybe it was just an escape pod...

Probably just a spacefly swarm...

I tried to board one but was told by Betty that they can't be boarded.

That? Oh, that was just Slartibartfast looking for his own ship, the Starship Bistromath. He borrowed that one. Don't mind him. And really don't shoot him- he doesn't like that and neither do the Goners.

sounds like a conspiracy to me... all you people call me a crack pot then only two there people admit to seeing them...

I tell you I picked it up on my scanners! Just like a ship... I t was doin 300 and I info'd it and it said Unknown Object, it had a symbol like a drone but it was a little bigger... I know I saw it and I know my Fujin followed it until the fujin Clarity's End and a pirate fragged the fujin.

Nice Tolkien quote by the way! I dare anyone to name the book that's from! hahaha

I saw an Unkown Object and you can't silence me the truth will come out! Any thoughts on how to equip a mass search fleet? I'm thinking discos with explorer software and full engines should do the trick... whats the fastest m5 out there? It's gotta do at least 300k
