I've been experimenting in sim using probs as fodder, i get same resulst if i use twice as many probs compared to LF, crystal cost the same but metal expenses way down. any one else try this

probes are probably as foolish as using cruisers, even more so.. everything has rapid fire against probes, and crystal is more valuable than metal... also probes cost some deuterium to make..

probes????? sheesh.. lol.. where do you come up with stuff like this????



probe stats

Shield Strength 0
Attack Points 0


and that is why you don't send probes..

probes seem to die even with just a few enemies in battle.

I had some fool running 5 BS vs my home planet with alot of defences+ships and all.
So my shielding was 1000x over his dmg yet still all my espionage probes died. like 400 of them .....

Dunno if this was a lucky shot, if not you guess what you can do when some big shot has 10.000 espionage probes.
you get the idea .

The probe trick worked with low attack forces to give enemy more targets then just my LC's but quickly became impractical at higher numbers. Now I'm finally getting cruisers an Battleship's, "tanking" working better then fodder tactics. bombers seams a wast now even.
Thanks for the help guyz
