Grand Theft...UFO? - Hijack 20 UFOs

How to unlock the Grand Theft...UFO? achievement in Dark Void - Definitive Guide
Hijacking a UFO is easy enough: press B when the prompt appears to latch onto the ship, and then do the minigame - which is the same every time - to hijack the UFO. After commandeering the saucer, press B to eject from the craft and do it again.
Sometimes the UFO will flip around in an attempt to toss you off; just tap X or Y (whichever one pops up) to maintain your grip.
To make hijacking a bit easier, start tapping B as you approach a UFO/it approaches you; the button prompt will often register and you can still grab the the saucer even if it has flown past you.
A mini game will start where you have to prise off the back plate of the UFO, whilst the gunner in the UFO will try to shoot you. You'll also have to dodge the bullets by moving around the UFO. The UFO will also attempt evasive maneuvers to shake you off.
Follow the button prompts on screen and watch for the gun turret. Once the plate is off, the cockpit on the UFO will be revealed allowing your character to kill him and take control on the UFO.
You'll need to do this 20 times. Mission Breaking Camp (chapter 2, part IV) is a good place to find a lot of UFOs.
To hijack an enemy UFO, fly near one and press the melee button (there will be a button prompt on screen). You will grab onto the side of the UFO, at which point you will need to expose the pilot and take him out. To do so, move to the security panel on the UFO and hold the melee button to begin tearing off the panel. Watch out, because the pilot will try to shoot you off his ship as you do this. Use the left analog stick to dodge his fire as necessary. The pilot may also try to shake you off the ship by flipping around, at which point you will need to rapidly press a certain button to keep your grip (the button you need to press is different everytime). Once you have removed the panel, the pilot will be exposed, and you will engage him at close range. Toggle the left analog stick back and forth to wrestle away the pilot's gun and finally kill him. You will then be in control of the UFO. You may exit the ship anytime by pressing melee twice.
This trophy is easily acquired during the Breaking Camp chapter. When the chapter starts, hijack an enemy UFO, abandon it and repeat. If you die, you will restart at the beginning of the chapter,where you are free to try again.
The trophy will unlock as soon as you accumulate twenty successful hijacks. The hijacks accumulate over the entire game and still count if you die/quit after performing one. This is also a good time to get the Demolition Derby trophy.
