Only a base I left in riots for more than 1 turn on purpose, so I could probe rape the Drones.

It happened in this very game, when I was test playing before introduction.

Angels lost a base to the Drones (I was playing all five factions sequentially, with the AI playing the AI), and I immediately rushed a scout in my "new base" but next turn the Angel probes came calling and I was infiltrated, then the turn after the base got retaken.

I'd like to think that the Firaxis guys had snuck that tactic in as a piece of code, 'cos that would have been cool, but I think it was just a byproduct of the 2 factions (Drones and Angels) with their respective strengths

The Angels thereupon shot up the strength charts, so I think that prolly gave them their requisite 3 infiltrations for their techshare activation (which is what got me to thinking it might have been a planned tactic - which I'd accept if a human were playing, but not the AI)
