dude you read my mind probe raiding would not affect me as i am an established player but if an abundance of people started doing it then it would detur any new people the excitement of a fsast growth which is what will keep new players here

I could easily spam 1 mil probes if i wanted, but i just hate probe raiding. Unfair play imo. I'll keeps sending my EC's, may be slower but i'm happy with that tactic.
Players who use those ships in this manner are slowly killing this game , that's reality.
Pwning new players once they're outgrown noob protection is bad enough, but denying them farms is worse.
Just my opinion...

Are farms honestly so very scarce?

One realistically requires from one to two minutes to complete a probe raid/

One must invest nearly 200 million crystal in Standard to get the 60,000 probes needed merely to net 100,000 of each resource from an inactive planet within that time span.

This is the very definition of tedium. Show me someone who devotes their day to doing this, and I will show you someone who's hopped up on goofballs and very, very bored.

there are a few that do this and find it profitable but yes the time involved would be too much for me i myself have a huge amount of probes but this is for defencive reasons

Correct me if i'm wrong, but don't probes already have no actual cargo capacity?

Curiously, one cannot transport resources with them - but one can (at least for now) collect resources while raiding. In Standard - 30,000 probes can net up to 50,000 of each resource

Well, it's been a month or so since Logged ,with the help of GoD, decided to build probes and use them for raiding. He has almost a mil now , which just means that he's too obsessed with this game imo :mrgreen:

harry admitted himself that he does it and thinks he deserves to do so just because he can.

the two arguments that stands out are

probe raiding really skims the planets res thin.

and you cannot transfer with probes then why u can raid with them?

And yet the question remains, why, if this form of raiding is so vastly superior, is everyone in every universe not doing it? And don't bring honourable play into it, half the people in this game would shove a knife in their own friends back for a good fleet crash, so that is not the answer.
