It must be the new version of the freelance pilot "Kimogila" fighter!

for real man, how much damage did you do to it? could you attack it?
This is for real. After hypering into Dath, I saw another one near the neutral space station. It blew my mind. What are the chances?!?!? I'm not sure what to think but before I was in space I was running away from some enraged kimos out by my house. Could that encounter have carried over into space? I wishI knew. Here are the events as they transpired.
The one in the picture showed up as a white dot on my radar close to the Avatar Blackscale spawn. Nothing new. I figured it was another pilot coming tokill the tier 3 & 4 blackscale spawns. I tried to target them so that I could invite them into a group if nothing more then to have a friendly competition to see who can kill them the fastest. However,when I pulledthe target under my reticle,I thought I was seeing things.It was small at first.I got closer and pulled out in front of it, I snapped that shot.All I know is that I couldn't target it and my blaster fire when right through it. It had all the animation you would expect to see. It howled and it scatched I think. I wrote it up as another funny thing you might see in this crazy game. So I go back to killing some more blackscales. About 10 minutes later, one of my guildmembers needs help on dath with the current phase. I offer my assistance. I hyper into Emperor's Hand and head toward what I thought was the Dath space station. As it turned out, it was the neutral space station. So i turn my target toward my POI to the Dath space station and there's kimo #2. It wasn't in my face or anything but it was clearly visible. I do a fly-by on my way to the Dath space station totally baffled. But the fun doesn't stop there. I request landing permissions and land at the science outpost. I can't explain what I saw, or for a better term, what I didn't see. It was blank. I could see water below where I thought I would be, no land no ground to stand on. I could see doors here and there, but they would disappear and then re-appear asI walked. I couldn't see myself at all and I could only make out faces of other players. It was freaky though because it looked like masks. It was just the faces components with nothing behind it. It looked like the invisible man if you were to put face paint on only his face. I saw crates here and there and they disappearded and reappeared like the doors. I could hit my overhead map so I could still see the structures that way enought o move to the starport term and travel to the trade outpost. But the results were the same. So I traveled to Lok, where my home is and everything is normal and where it should be. I got back to my house and logged out. I haven't logged in since.
These events are true. After all who could make this up?!? The only thing I can think of is that is has to do with the new graphics bug since I get the disappearing, invisible space stuff from time to time since Pub24. About the kimos, I'm at a loss for words unless pilots who are also Creature Handlers with pet Kimos are now able to drop them in space as if they were on land. I haven't tested that by any means, but its the only thing i can think of. So your guess is as good as mine.
Although last time I checked, other ppl could not actually see your pet (I called a rancor in the cockpit of a YT)
fly up to the space kimo
