Author Topic:   Alien Colony Pod?

I recently had an alien colony pod show up in my territory. I guess I should have watched to see what it would do but I destroyed it instead. I'm not sure if this was a good thing or not to do. (Are they friendly?) Anyone else had this experience? Anyone else watched long enough to see if the Alien Colony Pod would settle in a base of its own? Are they friend or foe?

I thought I saw that once, but it was actually Miriam's colony pod. The contrast on my monitor was so high that it was difficult to distinguish Believer Orange from Alien Red.
You can right-click to see just who owns it.

In the demo v1.0 I once came across an alien rover. I also destroyed it before I could get more info out of it. (colour was definitely red!)

I had city defenders turning red (alien), abending their city for a walkabout. Also once one of my supply crawlers turned red and was shot by allied troops.
It's almost like a feature, like a drone effect or probe team action.
