UFO ship - PICTURE!

Post by The Flash » Tue, 13. Apr 04, 21:25


I was speeding around exploring the universe in my trusty Paranid "Greased Lightening" Pegasus :D when I spotted a funny symbol on the Gravidar :o . A quick press of "." later an UNKNOWN OBJECT :? was on the list. Set ship to follow the bugger (it was only doing 450, so no probs there). Got close and took some pictures of it, never seen a ship like this before. Looks like an inverted tea cup on four blobs with a flashing red top! Pressed F9 and saved few pics.

One of them should be below (not sure since this is my first post :oops: )

We'll need access to your D: drive to view that image :wink:



I've read about it, and already seen the UFO and taken pics. Makes a funny UFO sound when you fly right up next to it. Amusing add-in... wonder if it has any real value in the game? Like leads to secret sectors, etc.

Been there, done that, got the T-Shirt (well actually I got one stuck to my Pegasus, but it's close enough).

As far as I know, they just randomly wander around the universe, from my research: following them with Pegasuses (on computer).

Has anybody actually tried blowing one away? I tried but I was only in a Barracuda so I couldn't get close enough to have a pop.

I read here somewhere a guy did blow one up, and there was nothing salvageable, and there was a regular "aaaahhh" guy dying sound or something.

UFOs are classified as Argon vessels, FYI.

Maybe they are Terran Exploration ships.
