![]() ![]() I did empirical tests with a friend where we alternated probing eachother under varying circumstances. Your own probes do count, satellites do not. If the chance is 30% counter-esp for 1 probe, then obviously it can't be 150% for 5 probes.- Verdant 18:15, 5 September 2008 (UTC) More formula questions ĭo Solar Satellites or your own Espionage probes count toward your counter-espionage? Or is it just actual ships? I'll go along with an increase, but it's certainly not directly proportional. To my knowledge the difference between the espionage levels of those probing and those being probe also has an impact on the base counterespionage for a single probe value. In addition I believe that the number of ships in orbit around a given planet directly influences the counterespionage for one probe value and correspondingly influences the total counterespionage for the mission. The greater the number of probes the greater the chance of a counter in a formula something along these lines:Ĭounterespionage chance for a single probe * number of probes sent = total counterespionage for mission mission influences directly the counteresp. The number of probes sent at a given planet on an esp. was at 0% this could actually be something as high as 0.99%, which could lead to a scenario where your fleet was destroyed (albeit with an extremely small chance). So for example if you were to send a given number of probes to a planet and they were destroyed while the counteresp. percentage is only calculated to the next whole integer rounded down. If they are spotted, a separate battle report will be issued. This needs to be clarified.- Verdant 22:07, 13 August 2008 (UTC) The probes will send back the espionage report even if they are destroyed. So they're not saying the destruction will inhibit the transmission, just that there won't be much information to start with if you didn't send enough. ![]() The 'if' statement relates to your needing enough probes to compensate for the difference in espionage tech levels. It makes sense to send a lot of probes to ensure that some survive to be able to transmit. Sentence seems to imply that destroying probes does halt their espionage transmission and that But then: "if there were enough probes" in the second The espionage information." That seems to be a blanket statement: the espionage information The second sentence seems to contradict the first. If there were enough probes sent, the information will still reach your enemy regardless of their destruction I sent lots of probes to a planet with no fleet and I had higher espionage tech, yet they were destroyed.ĭestroying an enemy's Espionage Probes by Counterespionage DOES NOT stop the probes sending their information. This therefore suggests that more probes means a greater likelihood of detection and/or destruction. However this runs the great risk of detection by your target, resulting in the probes destruction." "If your target has a higher level of Espionage Technology than you, you will need to launch more probes to gather all the information on your target. The actual description of Espionage Technology in-game says: Does anyone have any kind of formula to get counterespionage percentage? Also, im not sure if this is entirely accurate, as I have had my probes destroyed when counterespionage chance was 0%- Spacemanspif 17:44, 22 March 2006 (UTC)ĭoesn't the number of probes sent also influence the chance of counter-espionage? I don't see it mentioned in the article. ![]()
