Etherjets be stealing mah ships!

[Lancefighter]

Seriously! I just watched a trio of etherjets steal three of my beam frigates. STEAL. Like.. Through a wormhole type steal.


WTF?!

They can do that!  A special "insult to injury" event is when the AI has parasites and literally steals your ships by reclaiming them.  BONUS POINTS:  They got the EtherJets themselves by parasites - this has happened to me.

Be careful that you don't accidentally do the same yourself - if EtherJets tractor a ship they aren't easily capable of shooting down, it'll get dragged behind them, potentially all the way to a friendly world.

"It followed me home... can I keep it?"

but.. I really have never seen that before, its wierd

also, are AI mass drivers not supposed to shoot at devourer golems? I'm playing against a peacemaker, and they are just letting him waltz right through.
edit
Thats interesting. A golem is immune to anti golem weaponry. Makes sense. ... ...
Devourer golems also seem to like going into FRD mode. For no reason..

However - it shoots all 45 of its shots at /the same target/ when its in FRD mode.

     Etherjets are little bastards.  Just wait until they start snatching labs and other expensive stuff, then you'll REALLY enjoy the behavior!

You steal an ARS with etherjets?

      Haha!  Good call.  For a brief, glorious time you could - you could just tow it back to a friendly planet, trash your command station there, and build a new one, which would trip the capture switch again.  x4k caught on though...
