Dude!! You mean ogres like the old micro-game by Metagaming?

i don't know much about the 70s/80s
but in SMAX they're theoretically left over from the progenitor's first mission or something
Mk1: 6r/3r/1
Mk2: 12r/8r/1 *2 (IIRC)
Mk3: 30/12/2 *4 (IIRC. VERY rare)

You can say that again, I have yet to unearth a Mk3. All the pods are gone by the time the ame would dole one of those out . . .

bRr: They even took the series a little further, with some GEV expansion stuff.

SMAX ogres: d'oh! I saw 'em in the manual, but haven't actually played SMAX, sticking to SMAC 'til I upgrade my hardware. I've got 300 MB left on a 2 GB hd and run SMAC without sound or project movies.

Considering that probe teams take a while to build and move to place (we now know that the base at the end of probe yellow and red path belongs to the Hive), we should consider continuing build orders at TBIBTU to construct and launch a second probe from the northeast shores. Yang likely has at least two techs we don't, and one probe trip must be to infiltrate datalinks.

If we are running knowledge by that point, the probe could be lost int he process. We cannot afford the setback or wait to gain gatling weapons and plasma armor from our enemy.

First build a former there!

I'd go with Earwicker. I can't see an *overriding* need for a former there. I think it can wait and HEC is needed more IMHO.
