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 as if the probes have left and are en route to their destinations.
I totally agree that the community, which has not come across this situation,
needs to be alerted and a consensus taken, ideas heard. I did not think of this
when I started, and thought that I had covered my bases.
I did not register the probes because they have no crew, and are totally
expenable (I seriuosly hope that my ships with crews will not be expendable). If
a SM does not wish these probes to enter their sector, for whatever reason, then
“accidents” do happen as the old saying goes. These probes were meant to be
story impetus, motivators, and not to be some sort of spy thingy. Again, reason
why not to register them. There is full detailed info about these probes for the
benefit of other SM’s on my web site.
I noticed that one SM requested system failures, I have granted that wish. The
A.I. of the probes has been severly limited to the point that they are almost a
hazard to themselves. The probes are also more of space Hubble multi telescope
type of things, not meant for espionage work. However, even that might reveal
some SM’s secrets. Another thing, these probes are not equipped to transpond
their locations, so if that causes concern against a SM’s sector rules, then
“accidents” do happen as the old saying goes.
I wish to be a member of the community, a member who plays by the rules. I
thought I was being innovative, perhaps I was being ahead of myself. Again,
these were mostly for story impetus, as you know that one of the probes is
heading for an unmanned sector. On my web site, Chapter 1 reveals the whole
reason about that, (story starter). That probe will serve its purpose and fade
away.
Please feel free to post these re-assurances to the other members of the game on
the Lugnet message board. I am not here to start trouble, just to have fun.

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 (...) (20 years ago, 1-Apr-04, to lugnet.gaming.starship, FTX)
