finally seen a UFO

Post by Ronin677 » Thu, 17. Mar 05, 13:52

Well i finally got to see the disc shape ufo. followed it in my Paranid M5 for a bit and got bored.

when i first started this game back in Feb 04 i saw in the first few days of playing a mettalic sphere travelling at approx 900m/s. It was certainly nothing like this ufo i saw the other day. Does anybody know what the mettalic sphere is ( i have never seen another after it went through the gate in Home of Light many months ago).

Sorry i dont have an image of it (i was new to the game then and i did not know how to get screen shots)
I think therefore I am

I don't know what you mean.. 900 m/s? I never see a Ship except the Pegasus thats so fast.

The UFO gave 450 m/s when i'm remeber correctly.

deepstar: thats exactly wot i mean. this thing was much faster than a ufo. it was certainly too fast for my disco (which i had at the time). as i said i have never seen another but it looked like a mettalic sphere (plain and simple). the only way i managed to see it was to target it whilst it was near me and watch on external view (F1 key) until it left the system.

If anyone has seen this object i would love to hear from them as i seem to be the only one at the mo.

Then it was most certainly a pegasus, even at 900 i don`t think anything else goes that fast.

You will know a ufo because its... well, ufo shaped and spins around. I haven`t seen one for a while, but they are definately about.
So it's come to this, I told you this would happen Ani! The fanboys are taking over!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Did i just miss the last bus?????

I know the difference between a pegasus and a mettalic sphere. One looks like a space ship the other looks like a metal football !!!!!!!

Come one ppl someone must have seen one, i can not be the only one

lol ppl

I am beginning to think i never saw it. :?

I think i will devote my X2 life to searching for it again. After all it must still be in my universe some where. I am going to send out scouts to all sectors until i find it. I will get a screen shot then i can regain my sanity :lol:

Slightly off topic but how do you take screenshots.

The Print screen button above insert.

Oh and by the way UFO's can go over 900mph as it was the first one i saw i chased it for a couple of sectors but it went out of range since it could go almost double my speed and yes its the flying saucer one but i've not seen the metalic football one though...

Okay you've seen a UFO like many other people like myself. You're next assignment is to do what any self respecting military would do.....

Blast it into itty bitty pieces, collect any bio mass, and do an unofficial alien autopsy.

To make a screenshot press F9. The image will be stored in the loadscr folder within your X2 folders (Program Files).

I saw that UFO ship as well. I was in my Nemesis at the time, but I jumped into my peg to go after it.

I too thought of blowing it up, but then found out that I'd forgot to arm my pegausus.

So, I opened my cargo bay doors.

I was not amused with the results.

But aside from that, I see no use in that UFO. Who knows, maybe if you follow it, it might lead you to something. :)
