Possible UFO SIghting in sector Blue Profit (Teladi) I'n not sure what it was 'cos it came up with 'Unknown Object' on my scanner. (Not Unknown ship.) I have a pic, but I don't know how to attatch it to a mail to a forum. :oops: (Please Help?)

Saw it in Shareholder's Fortune, unfortunately it was travelling at about 450 m/s ... so it got away through the jump gate. Long gone by the time I went thru.

I suggest zippyimages.com. They're mainly for avatars and sig pictures, which is just what kind of remote-link allowing host I needed.

No more abusing deviantart.com :wink:

I killed a UFO the other day and my standing with the goners dropped from 19% accepted member to 18%. So they are either goners or good friends with them :) Makes sense as they show up as goner ships on the radar.

Edit: typo

as it happens deviantart does not let you link to images! (which is a very good thing :wink: ) So I have been using my own webspace for uploading images for here on.....I will go have a look at the site you recommended though!

I saw something very strange in one of the Unknown sectors that may explain the origin of the UFO's and thier purpose in the game. But I am not going to reveal what it was. I took a screenshot of it for future reference. Look and you may also spot it too. Hint: it is NOT a ruined or broken gate. :wink:

I saw one in P.E. tonight, My 1st sighting of a UFO. I tried to get my perseus to follow it, but it was so quick I lost it. :(

I spotted one last night. The weird thing was that it had damaged hull. I had hard time keeping up with Orinoco.

Because they seem to serve no purpose. Which is odd.
I spotted one about 3 hours into the game IIRC.
Found it again MUCH later flying into Split Fire. So I quickly bought a Paranid M5, called it S.E.T.I and asigned it to follow the UFO. The M5 got toasted in Pres End though, and I couldn't be bothered chasing the UFO again.
