|
| | | Here's an interesting question... A player has emailed the GM requesting that his home sector send out a number of "Long Range Deep Space Probes." (The player is also an SM.)

| | | | | I think that this is a good idea...I would like to see some limitations or restrictions on what they might be able to see or even a "system failure" possibility.
