I have gotten a couple, but they were all missles. They shot fine though. :D

Yours can be installed like software or a scanner?

Yaki disruptor missile, i assume you get the specs later, like with the Khaak in X2.

Not sure if its any good, but from what i hear in the storyline it might be ace. doesn't get flaged as illegal cargo though from what i can see, though its a while since ive been scanned.
want the FACTS about X2/X3?

If you install it then hover your mouse over the missile on the hud under the guns it will normally give its name

but it'll just pull it off the ID in the cargo bay. And when you install it you get "Unknown Object...... Instaled"

Press 'M' to cycle your missiles. If the unknown object is indeed a missile the computer voice will say "Unknown Object. Installed." Then press 'L' to launch it.

One a related side note: has anyone ever had an Unknown Object become identified? I picked up an unknown missile after a pirate battle and a short time later the computer voice says "Update to computer database received. R----- Missile." I can't remember the name, but it starts with an R, sorry.

I've picked up quite a few unknown missiles and only once has this happened.
