Because a remote controlled ship is still owned by its original owner, it will report its actions to that original owner. In particular, if that player has not offered you vision level, you will not see the result of sensor sweep, mine sweep or exploration.
Starting with PHost 4.0d/3.4g, some messages are forwarded to both the real owner and the remote-control owner of a ship:
- Mission results: Beam up (all flavors), Lay mines (all flavors), Colonize (success and failure), Hiss, Rob (robber and victim), Tow failures, Super Spy Deluxe, Build fighters (all flavors)
- Results of ground attack
- Ships which passed a minefield and/or hit a mine
- Cyborgs beaming aboard debris after a fight
- Wormhole travel
- Cloak failures (all reasons, including anti-cloak)
- Ship initiated or passed a chunnel
- Ship boarded by Crystals or Privateers
- Ship hit by glory device
- Cargo trimmed from overloaded ship
► Note: Remote control currently has bad interaction with AllowShipNames restrictions. To make it short, restrictions between a ship's real owner and the ship's remote control owner are currently not enforced for ships which are under remote control. We believe this is not too serious a problem because setting up remote control needs communication anyway.
