Not meaning to nitpick... just want to clarify you meant 'before' not 'become'?

When you reach +4 probe rating, it rolls over to...um...0 I think, or some negative number. This is a problem with the Datajacks, as you get +2 probe and free covert ops centers after Pre-Sentient Algorithms, FORCING you to run Knowledge.

Curiously, has anyone checked to see the effects of Miriam running Fundy with Covert-Ops center, a grand total of a +5 Probe. Or Roze running Fundy with Covert-Ops center, +6 Probe.
I assume those will all roll back to 0 as well?

Roze wouln't run fundy, her ideology is Democratic. And i'm not sure the AI would build covert ops centres...the thing is, Roze gets them for free.
One way you _could_ correct the problem is to change the angels to +1 probe instead of +2
Roze wont do Power SE, I don't believe anything stops her from doing fundy though.
And I am not specifically speaking about the AI, I was just curious about the effects.

No, no no...not that Roze won't do power, she_can't_. And yes, something _does_ stop her from running fundy - ideology. Just like while Zakh _can_ for example run wealth, he _won't_ due to ideology, even though his aversion is fundy.
but as for non-AI. dunno. not very many people play the believers. I know that I havn't, so I wouldn't know.

Why would Zakharov not run Wealth? I know his agenda is Knowledge, but I don't see anything that would prevent him running Wealth neccessarily (maybe it represents corporate-style ethics in universities, I know that some of the universities I have been too seem to be increasingly "wealth-oriented").
I enjoy running "unusual" SE choices (see my PS/Green/Knowledge/Cybernetic Human Hive for a different result from Yang's 'grand experiments' ) it makes the game a little more interesting to consider how the factions might develop from their starting points, I don't see them as always becoming carbon-copies of the stereotype.

Yes, I understand the AI Roze wont use Fundy or PS. That is why I mentioned:
