| (...) -snipped some- (...) We'll, in time, figure out a (hopefully) fair way of utilizing this new way of playing. As the game is new and members still small, we can't be able to have had the rules all done and complete when we first launched. Our (...) (21 years ago, 1-Apr-04, to lugnet.gaming.starship, FTX)

| The following is forward to .gaming.starship from SM/Player Avery Christy: Hello GM, I recently read a new thread on the Lugnet message board pertaining to the probes I sent out. Due to the schedule of events unfolding in the sector, I am operating (...) (21 years ago, 1-Apr-04, to lugnet.gaming.starship, FTX)

For instance, if it sees a valuable artifact or something, it must send the data back. It cannot go ahead and try to take the (...) (21 years ago, 1-Apr-04, to lugnet.gaming.starship, FTX)

If probes are given stats including a rating for sensors, then SMs could use that as a guide to what a probe might be able (...) (21 years ago, 1-Apr-04, to lugnet.gaming.starship)

And it must be up to the SMs (...) (21 years ago, 31-Mar-04, to lugnet.gaming.starship)

He has provided stats including high sensors and zero weapons. And these (...) (21 years ago, 31-Mar-04, to lugnet.gaming.starship)
