Found a ship when using Unfocused Jumpdrive but cant select it
Spent last few hours looking for the elusive Aran using my UJ.
Finally after jumping into sector i see a ship in the distance.
Flew as close as I could without ramming it but the ship is not selectable or showing up on my map.
Ejected from ship and used repair laser and can see the laser hitting the ship but nothing changes.
Will it be possible to claim or should I just blow it up and keep looking?

This bloody game is starting to take over my life !!!!!!!

Are you flying an M7M? if not then I doubt you'll be able to board the Aran, regardless of how long you try.
If you are and you have a full compliment (20) of marines on board (and enough of them are suitably trained) then you'll need to keep repairing the Aran until it becomes hostile (shooting ANY laser, even the repair laser, at a neutral target will eventually make it hostile).
Note: TURN OFF YOUR SHIPS TURRETS FIRST! Otherwise your M7M will blast your shiney new super carrier to bits before you even get started.
Now, once the Aran is hostile (you'll hear a "combat beep" and the music will change), you can return to your M7M and from the command console select Additional Command -> Launch All Marines. The Aran will now show up as a target IN THAT MENU ONLY, and you can launch your pods. After that just hope for the best.
Good luck
