(...) My two cents (quickly--we've had a bit of craziness here so I'm late on SM emails, my work, and EVERYTHING) are that probes should be fine, if they are registered as ships--with brick models, images, the works. And it must be up to the SMs (...) (21 years ago, 31-Mar-04, to lugnet.gaming.starship)
