MOBILES ON THE MOVE

by Hazed

The code to allow mobiles to move around is now working and has been put into the game. That means Technocrats, who have reached the rank at which they can put objects, mobiles and events in the game, can design mobiles that will move around your planets, or your space map. So can those who have paid slithies for the privilege of writing events at a lower rank.

Meanwhile, I have put three moving mobiles into Sol so you can see how they work:

• Robocleaner - it trundles along the streets of Mars, trying to keep them clean. But don't interfere with its duties; if you kick it or try to pick it up, you could get into trouble.
• Bureaucrat - you will find him on Earth, in the vicinity of the Galactic Admin HQ or in the financial district. Examine him and you will see how overloaded he is with paperwork as he drops a random item (there are eight possibilities).
• Pirate - yes, the Pirate is back in space, flying the whole length and breadth of the Sol system. But since no fighting is allowed in Sol space, he can't actually do anything to hurt you!

See if you can find them!
