Unknown Goner UFO

phantomrock2 · Post by **phantomrock2** » Tue, 5. Mar 13, 22:16

Has anyone one here had the patience & wits to follow this ship back to its base of operations? If so, where in the applesauce does or did it go? Right now my Goner rep is at the highest title 37% so my curiosity has piqued at where this could be headed back to

(sigh)

There are those who would have you believe there is really a 'Hidden UFO Base' somewhere in the universe. A common theory I've seen over and again on this forum is that it's behind the planet in the sector Black Hole Sun.

In 8-9 years as a fairly regular member I've never once seen any actual evidence of such.

*Bangs head on desk in frustration repeatedly*

And it's not a Goner UFO! It's just Unknown Object!

But it does have the GO tag in it's IFF identification, marking it as a ship of Goner origin. Hence, 'Goner UFO'.

If I'm not totally mistaken you also lose Goner rep if you shoot them, at least in TC.

It's headed wherever it damn well feels like going. The so-called UFO base is an urban legend of Zelda, and the UFOs don't have any use apart from setting an M5 to follow them and using that to map the universe.

Though it obviously doesn't have a UFO base, does it ever land at stations?

If not, I wager it's just programmed to randomly wander systems.

It's actually following you, so there's no point in following it, you'll just go round in circles.

Not that I'm aware of, but I've been wrong before.

Yeah I spotted in the sector with the hub in it & just thought I'd follow it back & round & round we (or I) went![/url]

I thought he was making one of those things ballerinas wear but would get right on this UFO business when he was finished.

I shoot them if they fly around.

Maaaaaaaan I looked all over Company Strength in a Kestrel so much that I traversed the sector so much that I came on the other side! Used a advanced satellite to reveal silhouettes & nothing comes or shows up. If this Goner SY or ED dock then please speak of this! Thanks. I have reason to believe they have repair lasers or a jump beacons

StarSword · Post by **StarSword** » Wed, 6. Mar 13, 16:15

^Again, it's a myth. You can't buy add-on repair lasers in vanilla, nor can you buy jump beacons.

Now these are the things that leave me stumped in the X-Universe. How in the world or the X-Universe are we supposed to repair ships fast enough to get them to the final destination? What's this? Some kind cruel joke to play on us? From what I gather this is another way to increase race rank. Even more defeatist aspects also in TC I see. Great experience but sometimes I'm at a loss for words.

Thanks to you I have updated my signature.

I didn't know there was an Unknown Object. It follows you around? That's kind of creepy. Does it just follow you at range? Or does it come stick it's UFO up your X-COM? Is it actually a ship, or some kind of box, or what? I don't want to know exactly what it looks like, as I want to discover it myself. Where do you find it? So many questions.
