The truth abaut UFO's in X3/2

Post by orlando100 »

> They exist

> There are different UFO's

> There is an UFO base

About the base:

>In every game the positiion is different so coordinates aren't helpfull

>No UFO's dock / undock to the base


Here is some history:

> The UFO's first appeared in X-Tention - many beleave as a reference to the 'Ghost Ships' mentioned in Farnams Legend. No-one found a base there despite searching.

> They re-appeared in X2

> Now in X3 the cycle has begun again.

And if you want information about the UFO. Theres an entire official search section for it in the standard search.

Techinally true, there is a UFO base but it's officially named something else.
It's location only differs depending on which game (i.e. X3:R, X3:TC).
Of course UFO's don't dock, it gives the secret away.

The easiest way to map the X-Universe, earlier on in the game, is to get one of your ships to follow a UFO. Because they go everywhere. They wander from sector to sector without pause. Of course, eventually you'll end up losing your ship in a Xenon sector.

If there are coordinates for X3 R or X3 TC with worked by more than one user you can poast them here!

If you don't like to show them to everyone PM me!

i have a question:
There is a base with unusual trading activitys
But...

...Why UFO's
if no UFOs dock/undock
If nothing about UFOs is in name or discription

I mean It could be a special station (Master-Trader) but how to combine the UFOs with this station?

There are many secrets out there

Or you could fiddle with your IFF settings. (NB: I hold no responsibility for loss of property due to IFF fiddling)

They are registered Goner aren't they?
Either way no one has ever posted a screenie of a UFO base or come up with an even vaguely plausible reason why they haven't. So I wouldn't worry about it eluding you...

I think the co-ordinates of the base are 1cm, 3cm, -2cm (using the centre of the players brain as the basis for the co-ordinate system).

If you mean what it's official name is it's called the {Classified} in the sector {Classified}.


Name/location purged from post as per the orders of the USB (UFO Security Bureau).
