I was mining in Odia B-13 and had paid off the unrats to leave me to my work. Every time I jettisoned a piece of uninteresting ore, I got the "thanks, now be gone with ye" message. Looks like a bug to me :-)

I got this message up in Itani space, too...after not being near unbots for a good long time;

I used to get spammed by the things when botting in Dau and picking up processor cores and stuff. Methinks the unrats are overreaching a bit.

Grrr. I believe it's due to long garbage-collection pauses causing the system to think players are in sectors other than those they are (though that theoretically shouldn't happen). So, we'll see if it still happens when we release Kourier (sooner than Soon) and deal with it then if it does.

Could this at all be related to the grouping bug?

[ed-"other thread" was too ambiguous. RR]
