I was wonder if it's better to upgrade your espionage tech to stop people from seeing what you have, now I know this sounds stupid but hear me out. Since most people (like stronger, million point people) send like 15 probes does it do anything to upgrade you tech or are they still getting the same information? So let me give an example, if Bob (with espionage tech level 10) is espionaged by Jim (with espionage tech level 9) how many probes would Jim have to send to get a full report or if you really know what I am talking about, how many till he can see your fleet and defense.

i used to send 24 probes per mission just to get a complete report. u have it the other way around mate. get it high so that u dont have to send too many probes.

So your tech doesn't affect how much of a complete report then "attacker" sees?

hmm lets say u have esp tech 15... be sure u wont be bothered with ppl who has esp tech 10... i would say thats a tech worth buying out.

A good general rule of thumb is that you need three more probes for every level someone's espionage tech exceeds your own. I generally send 4. When that doesn't generate a full report, I send seven. I rarely need more than that - but my espionage level is pretty high.
