I hope he isn't just talking about the Voyager probes.
Oh that Braben fellow he's such a tease...
What do you think DB meant by this?

Exploration - Something else than nebulae, stars, planets and rocks out there?
To the question "When will there be non-celestial things to discover in deep space?" (Posted by SlackR), David Braben (Chairman & Founder) answered "There already are... ;-)".
and to "I did say "deep" space... Those probes are still in the sol system so I'm hoping he meant other things to find!", David did confirm "Yes. Other things...[...]has been there since Wings...".
Damn, I have never heard anything about that!
Has anybody of you, Commanders, already discovered/encountered such things? If you have and for some reason believe their locations should remain a secret (please don't tell me these are in Unidentified Signal Sources you may sometimes find...
, I believe the community would appreciate to get a few hints as of how/where to search for them!
PS: I am posting here since I believe David will not provide more details in the thread, specific to powerPlay, where these were originally mentioned.

Ooh this is intriguing. I love this sort of stuff!
I'm always looking, just not finding
I'm sure some of the Earth-likes say they have life on them...
But I'm guessing you mean INTELLIGENT life?

I know one thing that is out there and you didn't list: Explorers
One of the things i loved about the original Elite was space dredgers. I searched endlessly for one but of course there never was. Point being though that i also love the idea that there may or may not be things to find out there and unless you go and have a look then you'll never know!

I did stop to some USS and was surprised to find a T-6 with an escort of Sidewinders...I was about 1000 Ly from inhabited space...let's say that they were either lost or wanted to drop some nasty toxic waste far from any witnesses... :-/
As for the scanner, if there are things out there, they should be meant for explorers only...and who would equip a cargo scanner (or KWS in hope of finding the most wanted guy of the galaxy!) for an exploration trip?

I believe he did not since these were told:

Well, for my last trip (got 6000 Ly away) I played online hoping to meet some and text them "Drop your cargo or die!" as a joke.I know one thing that is out there and you didn't list: Explorers
And...I did not meet anybody...

This is probably the main thing I took from the AMA.
I was starting to think that the universe outside of occupied space was simply a random generated set of worlds from a template, it's nice to know there may be other interesting things out there.

You mean Thargoids? But as far as I can tell, they show up only in witch space, and disrupt the hyperspace jumps of random ships, right?
While I am greatly enjoying the stars, planets, nebulas and stellar remnants out here.... that piece of news is the most interesting thing I've heard about this game in a long time!... even better than the Imperial Courier!
