Hey there, I started playing the game a few hours ago and I've just traveled to Zeta Ptolemae. Everytime I try to leave the system I get ambushed by a probe, I've tried to talk my way out of a battle but it always ends with me dying. When the battle starts my ships engines and weapons are disabled, so I can't really do anything.
I've tried going to other systems, but this probe always waits for me outside the system. Is there any way I can escape from the probe or kill it? Right now I'm trying to reach Alpha Centauri, hopefully I'll be left alone, although I doubt it

Fuel isn't a problem, I've got tons of fuel left. The probe is pretty far away from Zeta Ptolemae, but when I leave Zeta Ptolemae it starts coming after me, and it's way faster than me, so in the end it always catches up to me.

Is it possible that the probe will go away if I spend enough time in a system?

Thanks. Apparently my engine and weapons didn't work because I didn't have any crew left, I didn't know it worked like that.
Anyway, I've started a new game now and it's going way better, I guess you learn from your mistakes. This game doesn't show any mercy and I love it

Yeah, the new windows version is a lot harder than the DOS version.... especially when you cant cheat (lander bug, changing ship files) lol.

Chmmr - you can cheat. There is a save game editor available on uqm-mods.sourceforge.net. Plus, there are the mods that push back the Kohr-Ah cleansing or slow the passing of days.

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

If you are slower than it, doesn't that suggest something to you?
Upgrade your engines.

I died a lot, but I never had to restart. 
Of course, I only talked with the zotfot once. I did have a friend who got cleansed, though...
