its a random event, or its a picture for a random event. as far as i know, its an un-used one and the event does not exist. you could program one, make it give the player some resources or something. i dont remember if you can give technology through a random event, but that might be good too.

or you could use it as an image for the supplies-drained event. 'your ship looses supplies and goes derilict' or something like that.

I think a recently posted scenario made use of the derelict ship for something. Also, I believe someone made a bunch of events (~50), one of which used that pic.

Be much neater if it could be like "ancient ruins" in space, or if an actually ship would appear in the sector that you have to repair and cart back to be analyzed.

I like that Idea! one draw back...If you do not have the tech you can not fix it.So would need to have one of something to research.

Well the component could be un-destroyed, but a useless (derelict) Version of a component from a tech level that allows a useful Version, or to research the useful Version. The problem is getting it in space. I guess you could create the "derelict-generating empire" ... though then it wouldn't be an event. ;-)

Thanks players for responses, VAL idea ,Be much neater if it could be like "ancient ruins" in space, or if an actually ship would appear in the sector that you have to repair and cart back to be analyzed. This is a great idea?.
My idea, a derlict from the future, come back to the past, has (unique hull size) (has unique componets)but has no engines or has no crew department. Perhaps a way two tow it?, or to build shipyard ship for engine repair,or crew repair?.
