There are some strange things in the X-Universe... some things stranger than other things...

I was once hanging around in President's end, just tinkering with the loadout of a Split Tiger that I own (And LOVE). When I decided to look at the sector map...

Found something in the ship list called "Unknown Object"...

Selected it as my target, and then looked at it via the camera (By pressing F3)...

It was a flying saucer....

I sit there looking at it thinking... "Am I seeing this correctly?" Surprised

Before I fully realized what I was looking at It left the sector. I thought about having one of my M5s follow It, but shrugged it off and continued on with my business...

I am now an official witness of an X-Universe UFO... Mr. Green

Anyone else have a WTF moment like that?

You're supposed to follow it to the UFO base. It's a randomly generated location, otherwise I'd tell you where it was.

When I got there I found an Advanced Goner Raider that could mount weapons. That was the weirdest part.

I remember leaving my game running for half a day while my ship followed the UFO and I read a book and my account and trade rank were growing.

It'd probably be longer, but... autopilot.

This joke with the Secret UFO base is getting old and it could make quite a few players waste their time. Please cut it out already. Thumb down Thumb down Thumb down

This whole game is about wasting time while your factories make money for more factories....

Wonder if they are making something special regarding UFOs for Rebirth. Wouldn't it be cool if there was an actual base in Rebirth, so we can joke it doesn't exist? Wink

Well I sat around in president's end for a good 45 minutes... Usually Im in a sector for around 5-15 minutes... I guess you have to wait around in a busy sector for something to show up... Oops

That isnt my first encounter.. I've flown past one before...

Dont quite remember where that was though... It might have been in argon prime... Thinking

OH I always blow them up. I am sure they are scouts for some unknown new race that is going to attack my traders and destroy my factories.

Blowing up a UFO is cutting into your Goner reputation. So ye, those Goners are more mysterious then one would think!
