Post by Sipher » Sat, 10. Jul 04, 22:24

Once when i was capturing a Goner ship i saw something leave the ship exept the pilot. It was round and flied fast away about (450) When i looked at the sector map it said that it was Uknown Object. What was it ?

A UFO. I didn't know that the Goners dropped them tho... I smell conspiracy! I'm trying to find one of those UFO's again. I am planning to follow it, to see where it actually goes.

or maybe they are stockpileing the Drones that they always seem to have and are using their secret asteroid jumping base to leave huge "hives" of attack Drones in every Sector and are planning one day to give the signal for hundreds of millions of drones to attack everything all at once, and after the inital drone assult all the Goner ships will lose their outer shell to reveal that they are actually super advanced Fighters with weapons that make Khaak beam weapons look like toys for kids.

Edit: changed the four to for as it should have been

I meant to say "for hundres of millions of drones" not "four Hundred millions of drones" just imagine one day your just going for a relaxing flight through some sectors to unwind after a hard week of Xenon bashing/ trading and then all over the Galaxy Billions of attack drones appear and attack everything all at once.

Actualy it would take sever hundred years to get even a milion of drones. But if Goners drop the UFO then there is no hidden UFO Base. It is a Goner Temple :lol:

I saw goner ships on map flying thru unknown sectors by wasteland when I had my K on patrol there. I didnt had chance to jump and follow any. I wonder what were they doing in empty space and if anyone here ever follow any to find out? like maybe secret bases?

There is no such thing as a Goner-UFO hybrid ship. The Goners have no affiliation with these UFO creatures.

In particular, the Goners have no connection with the Mad Goners, not their fleet of terrifying fish-hamster hybrids. Miniturised fish-hamster hybrids.

... Er... they didn't mention anything about that.
What?
They didn't say anything about that, then just said the UFOs and the Goner.
...


There is no such thing as miniturised fish-hamster hybrids. I am sure you have all been under understandable stress during your never-ending voyage in space, especially with no connection to stations. Furthermore, the computer systems you are using are quite unreliable, and you are waiting for the 1.4 upgrade to rid yourself of any of these silly ideas that there are miniturised fish-hamster hybrids. Or indeed, any connection between UFOs and Goners.

To summerise: as the amount of fish is proportional to the star's gravitational field, when combined with the trans-dimensional flux-generating quizimodo-dephlapidator, it needs to be connected with the newly build flinglle-flongle device, that, according to Professur Needsalife, causes users to be confused under a wave of gibberish, eliminating any thoughts of UFOs.

To summerise the summary: Nothing exists. You're dreaming. These is all a dream.

I followed a Goner ship in the two unknown sectors besides Wastelands hoping it might take me to the mythical UFO base but alas no all it did was go to the most western one then turn around

After that I stopped following it
