Problems
Some problems with this category: It's scope is defined as "automated spacecraft used to gather information", yet it already contains several machines that either are not a spacecraft, or don't gather information. Some do neither, for example the Hunter probe. This could be solved by rephrasing the initial text. However, satellites should probably be removed from this list, because some of them don't have any of the functions of a probe (for example, SS Birdseye). Definitely, this category shouldn't be a subcategory of either "Starhips" or "Starship classes". Instead, it should be a subcategory of "Technology", if that will be approved. Any comments, or I will work on that in the next days. -- Cid Highwind 20:35, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
