Found an unfinished Eclipse-design ingame

Post by Iguanabob »

Since I use various mods and thus am locked out of ventures, I installed a mod that lets you send ships on offline-ventures anyway.
Works fine, among the things my fleets returned with recently was an unfinished, different design of the ARG Eclipse Vanguard or at least what's left in the game of it.
It's actually even called Eclipse Vanguard. Sadly it can't be piloted, you can't access it via EVA or teleport. You can actually EVA close by and request docking, the bay also opens, but you can't get in.
Just thought i'd share and leave the pics here:

In fact, our requirements are not high, as long as the boat is not difficult to see, the shape is normal, we like it very much, but unfortunately egosoft always does not understand this, this game is really going to fail.

That ship looks like it's been built in Space engineers, fugly and since when are the guns larger than the cockpit on a fighter ?.
Of all the things i've lost, i miss my mind the most.

I never did that tutorial,interesting point.

Well I guess the mod just points to a list of items that can be found during the ventures and this thing was in there for some reason and wasn't found during testing. Since found ships come without pilots I can not utilize it and can't sell it as well.

May just serve its purpose one last time and become a training decoy one last time.

If I come across another odd one I'll post it here.

They should use this for the Nova, at least it does not look like a table with a glass nipple from a top down view. None of these ships are motivating me lately. X3 tc / ap the ships motivated me to continue gaining money, which sends you through the whole trade think build fight 100% use of all 4.

It's one of the ships from X2 in its pure form but without fx for glass or anything else. Just the 3D design. It's there for a nostalgia... don't you get it? :lol: Also, I don't mind having these Easter eggs in game. I hope it's there on purpose to bring out the good old memories of X2. Maybe we will start seeing some XR or X3TC ships soon? *wishes*
