Cloaking Device?

Post by Cows »

I was approaching the main station, and then about two dozen white objects appeared on the radar. Except they were ships, and they had their engines on and were moving all in the same direction. Does this have to do with then Navy and cloaking devices, or something else? Some of the ships there were were Imperial Couriers, Llama Escorts, Ixian Gunships, Mamba Escorts, etc...

EDIT: Maybe it wasn't the navy: when I shot some of the ships, I remained clean.

Hi Cows,
The only time I came across white ships was on a mission to find the tarantula, a stolen prototype ship I think. There were 6 of them but they were all Asp's and were part of the pirate group that had the stolen ship.
Sorry I don't remember which oxp or mission it was in.

happy hunting
Al

It might be from Deep Space Dredgers, if you have that.

If so, you just stumbled across a bunch of derelict ships that you could salvage.

Somebody must of had a lot of salvage missiles then, because the ships were already moving to where ever they were going (probably a Deep Space Dredge).

Okay, then. I don't know what's going on then.

It is pretty weird, though.
