This is however not a derelict ship, it is mobile and will attack the engineer and full throttle away. It is possible however to catch up to it using the jetpack, due to the ship having an ellipse-like path because of the incomplete thruster setup.

Engineers should approach with great caution, as the ship has a gatling turret that will defend it.

Behavior

Unlike the other encounters, this ship spawns as a ship, not a static structure. From the beginning it has at least one thruster in each direction and a sensor that reacts to the player's approach to the door. That's when the script in the programmable block is triggered and the ship starts moving. There is no pattern to the movement, it just starts flying and spinning.
