DO i have to upgrade my espionage Tech?
and i also sent 39 probes to the planet and it shows up the same all 3 of his planet in that area

What you see is based on your esp. level as well as the other player. You will see less if the player has the same or higher level than you do, on average. To counter this, instead of running multiple missions on the same planet, try sending more probes in one sitting. For example, if you do not see what you are looking for, try increase the amount of probes in the esp. missions by small increments, say 5 for example. More probes will improve the chance of seeing more information.

This can be done by manually going through and dictating how many probes are sent, or you can go to Options under Player Menu and select the amount of probes you want to be sent via the quick esp. button.

And there is always the option of increase your esp. tech, which will decrease the number of probes needed to preform a full scan of someones planet.

my esp Lab level 8 + i sent 39 probes at his base

Then you need to improve your Esp Tech.

Is the amount of defence the planet has in the calculation to what the esp probes see?
Do you get the message probes destroyed?
Maby this planet of his has more defences than the other planets. (Since it did work on his other planets)
Just a thought.

But you should upgrade that esp tech at least 7 more times.

so have the esp at level 16?

Esp tech is worthless IMO. Just get like 12 and send 8 probes every time is probably the most efficient way. I got 15 before fully understanding the game, but I would not advise going that high.
