Its also another step for Catgirl Industries to spread their knowledge and production tech a little bit more, so it cannot get lost because of a single huge accident.
Quote:I think you should consider a story "The Brave Little Exocomp", about one that gets lost...I have something planned like this, but I am stuck with the "Gas Station" story at the moment.
The current Exocomps described in the wiki cannot reach high sublight speed, so they cannot really wander off too far. But the 'lost' story might still happen after then 2020s upgrade (have a story nearly finished called 'Tales about little friends').
Really dodgy FTL drives may have associated (unpredictable?) causality issues, so, there's always a chance you get back before you left. Maybe years before. [grin]
"Why is there a funny looking exocomp over there?" [grin]
If unsure if there have been any guidelines posted about using Time Travel in Fenspace stories. Apart from, "You'd better have a good reason, and not upset anyone else's fun!".
