I thought they were an urban legend... but one of them flew by the other day... I spazzed because I thought my game was about to crap out...

Anyway the search is not returning anything about 'em, what the hell are they for? Can you catch them or kill them?

According to the BBS its probably the mobile Goner research center for advanced Jumpdrive technologies.

If you open your cargo bay and fly into them, you can catch them in your hold. Really, they're that small. You should try it.

Maybe in a TL class vessel, but then again, try to keep up with it

The UFO just does his 'tour of a lifetime', Menelaus Frontier-Reservoir Of Tranquillity-Sacreed Relic-Shareholders Fortune and again. I read somewhere that they take another route, but 'my' UFO followed this one. I still see him passing by sometimes in Elena's Fortune sector. Oddly enough, its hull is somewhat damaged, but it still zooms at 450mph around.Maybe this is because of the HE-Nebula in A.Clouds. AFAIK, it doesnt possess any kind of shield. Maybe it rammed somebody/something.
Chazz.

Speed is only affected when hull goes under 90% with player ships. NPC ships tend to fly topspeed with 5% hull left. Something to do with balancing

CHAZZ · Post by **CHAZZ** » Mon, 10. May 04, 23:15

Ah, right! Like those poor ba$tards we are hunting with their hull at 1% and they fly normally and yell "Teladi will now kill yo....aaaaaghh.." or:"Boron will now show how to figh.....aaarggghhh.."

can you actually fly into a ufo with your cargo bay open and capture it with an m3? I changed the view to look at one when I found one and it made this really weird noise.

There are none, did it last week and they acted like it wasn't there. Perhaps it wasn't... wait, what did I see? Yeah a UFO thats it.

I suspect this was a joke... last time I saw one (not got close in X2, I admit) they were huge - but either way, they're ships and unlikely to be collectable as wares, just like NPC fighter drones are also unscoopable

Dedodido · Post by **Dedodido** » Tue, 11. May 04, 12:05

they don't seem to be that big to me. I tried to ram one and and failed miserably, so I just started firing at it and they have REALLY week sheilds and hull, it went don't to about 10% gull with about 2 shots.
