Nothing major here, just a suggestion to change some text.

Some newer players can find it confusing where it says "x% chance of fleet destruction" at the bottom of the report and think this means their chances of winning should they launch on the target.

I suggest changing that line of text to "x% chance of counter-espionage" or "x% chance of probe destruction". I prefer the first personally.

What say ye?

-Istalris-

Its a good idea. I remember being confused about this when i started also.

I wouldnt add in "x % of probe destruction" because they might get the idea that other fleet is not vulnerable if it is send as an espionage mission. In reality the ships will simply disapear and leave no trace, no combat report, no DF if ships are added into an espionage mission and it fails.

So then my first suggestion?

-Istalris-

sure,that one looks pretty good. You really have a lot of good suggestions Istalris

i still dont understand what that means x% does it mean my fleet have x% chance of being destryed or just my espionage ship?

basically you have a % chance of the enemy seeing your espionage fleet and shooting it down. If you send BS or DD or LF or any other ship with your espionage ships on an espionage mission, they will simply be ignored by the battle engine. An espionage mission only recognizes espionage ships. So if your enemy shoots down your espionage ships, the rest of your fleet simply disappears.

This deals ONLY with espionage missions.

Bumping because the report has been changed but is still slightly misleading. It now states "Probability of the destruction of the fleets intelligence", which indicates you will not receive accurate intelligence if your probes are destroyed, which is false. See first post for suggestions.

Thumbs-up

I would prefer the message to say

x% chance future esp missions will be destroyed.
