[AP] Unknown object/UFO

Post by Darkemis » Wed, 4. Jan 12, 19:04

Hi, I'm new to this game and I was recently mapping sectors and I got to sector that is left from treasure chest and in that sector I flew to west gates to hideout sector and right there at gates I stumbled upon something rather odd, I searched forums and google trying to find out what this thing is, nothing came up so I decided to make a topic with this in order to get some clues or explanation of what this thing is.
Also few details of my game, I'm playing Albion Prelude, 1st character (peacekeeper one), I didn't progress much in game yet, anyway here's what I saw:

I don't know what this is and as I said I already searched forums trying to find what this is but nothing came up so I hope someone can share their knowledge of this. I also have to go for a while and will be back within an hour or so.

Its the UFO, and has been in the X-games since at least X2 (possibly earlier, I never played X-BTF I'm afraid).

if you center your camera on it and zoom all the way in, you can hear all the UFO noises it makes =P

follow it, as it will lead you to a secret UFO base
Just saying it forward: I give everyone 2 posts to make good, in context posts(proper english, as always, is optional). After that I'm ignoring what you have to say in that thread that's directed to what we previously were talking about.

Despite what some will tell you, it just adds a bit of amusement to the universe :)

You can assign a ship to follow it and it'll open up a few sectors for you, until it tries to cross a Xenon or Pirate sector and your following ship gets toasted :p

Don't blow it up if you want the Goner to like you. They seem quite fond of the UFO.

Thanks for replies, I saved not long ago after I saw this one, however I got destroyed by few ships you can see in 2nd picture, so if I reload game to 1 sector away, will I still come across UFO I really want to see that secret base.

Also I did fire off a few rounds at UFO, and he didn't become hostile, however if I destroy it, are there any benefits from that, like some valuable items left behind or it's just nothing.

EDIT: Managed to find him again with loading last save, I will follow him and avoid enemies.

Please ignore anyone claiming there's a 'secret UFO base'. They're from MoM (Ministry of Misinformation). :roll:
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

X4 is a journey, not a destination. Have fun on your travels.

As already noted, set an M5 to follow the UFO and you'll reveal lots of sectors to map out.

Yeah, seems like he's flying randomly opening sectors to explore later.

I have had more than one UFO in my universe before.

The serial number indicates it's a Goner ship.

Santa Claus confirmed it while we were having tea with the tooth fairy. Also Bigfoot.
Admitting you have a problem is the first step in figuring out how to make it worse.
