now, SM mode shows no other races
a 200 thermal ping seems to be around the size of my beam armed cruisers and larger than any of my survey vessels, so I'm suspecting its a small missile thrower rather than a very large missile, would that sound right?
and with the lack of another race showing, are these the infamous "precursors"?
