Seems like a bug, was in Peri and found a Hive sitting on a piece of debris. Tried to scoop, it was a Hive Fighter Bay over 900 size. Also, killed the Hive no trouble, it didn't launch any fighters - I assume it dropped it's bay ?

DID YOU SCOOP IT?
PLEASE GOD TELL ME YOU SCOOPED IT.

I was in my delquad as you can see, needed 833 more space >.<
Tractored it around for a bit trying to see if anyone was nearby, then docked, built a bulk II and after an epic battle with the String Displacer vs Hive Push Tractor, it decayed when I was 500 away

I'll leave the Bulk in Retyu's Star as a shrine to my futility

IM not talking to you...

If anyone else gets one of these, I'll buy, just forum PM me.

first thing I thought when it decayed was "Damn, yugi would have bought it for sure T_T" haha

Yugioh and KC and simon are my competition for collecting rares =S(ships atleast)
List of rare ships i have:
Fly embryo
Nexus fighter shipform
Micro Zebu
Diseased flyet
Ancient Dragon Form (perma, no dragon life)
Jujuso qii
EDIT-Rat Kitten Shipform
and i think thats it =S
~Preter

Don't start this >.< if KC uploads his list he'll crash the server.

and thats why i love KC =)

its funny how much of a rare juggling act goes on. I get rares from KC, find some myself, sell rares to yugi for other rares, sell some back to KC, KC buys up all the rares in game currently and then sells them to yugi for more....

Considering fighter bays cant be unequiped unless you are docked i dont see how it droped its fighter bay unless ai are now smart enough to dock and unequip items for what ever reason

Rare ships I have:

Red Photon Carrier (I have the only one in-game, it counts!)
Astro-Grinch Sleigh
Will o wisp
Rat kitten
pax pacifier
diseased larvae
diseased flylet
agamemnon fighter hull
dropship
st bernard
Ancient dragon form+
probably some other fighters I'm forgetting
basil with sticky pest control equipped, but no inbuilt weapons
Giant Goblin
And, of course, rat+

I might be forgetting some right now, idk. I also used to have a giant volcom, maggot master, target dummy and adv target dummy, but they all randomly vanished while slaved in Sol and admins didn't return them.

psionic burst is my pride and joy

Maggot Master (capped it in sol)
Ancient Dragon Form+
St. Bernard
Dropship
