It's been a while since I heard anything about these, but I remember there being a huge debate on wether or not they realy existed. Well, I have a saved game in which I know where one will come through, so I can jump to the sector to intercept it, but I can't figure out how to take a screenshot lol. If someone wouldn't mind pointing that out to me, I'll gladly share it :)

UFOs are very real, they're part of the Goner - as far as the rumours go. However, they're just Unknown at the moment, if you're interested in the conspiracy - join right in. :)

What's that over there?? In the space!!

I got one in midnight star, and shot TONS of screenshots of it, sadly I don't know the appropriate program to open them.

They travel at 300m per second, and it was far away. Next time I'll let my albatross jump into the gate he's heading to and block the gate or something.... but they're not cappable I guess.

Capturing a UFO?

You need to think out of the box. Clumsy weapons will have no effect.

A while back I destroy a UFO when it was passing by, and had the sound of a argon man screaming when it blew up??

Hi there,

I've seen them up close in X2 and X3 but I can't remember what patches I had installed at the time in case that matters.

When I cruelly killed one in X2 -it should have answered by hails!- it also had an Argon/Goner voice.

I couldn't cap them in X2 and I don't think you were supost to be able to. Besides, I think there stats were a bit pants anyway...no guns to begin with :-)
