My Hyperwave decoder in Asia has just picked up a very small ship, flying 'Ratmen' flag, mission 'Plunder', and moving at a speed like 51452693. Did not think to take a screenshot, clicked 'center, time 5sec', and it just blinked and was gone...
Anyone seen anything like it?
-
It's a communications signal (you'll be able to see it with hyperwave decoder), so the speed is supposed to represent it going at the speed of light - electromagnetic waves and all that. The reason it's classified a shipping is because there's no other way to represent it in the game engine.
-
Well, I don't think I ever saw a signal in regular openXcom. Is such signal useful? I.e. flying to mentioned region and patrolling might reveal a mission? Or this is a pogrom precursor of sorts?
-
Comm Waves are merely a prop to spawn missions in a certain manner that would not normally be allowed by the engine. No point in patrolling the region. The associated mission will pop up on it own.

Sounds good, thanks!
