OGame: The Jedi Decision

[Cyclotron]

I can never get my probes to get any useful intelligence. What do I need to get, more espionage tech?

[binTravkin]

Yep.

[Snotty]

Ive got about 5 esp tech and I can get most inactive scans with 1 probe. Even when I have accidentaly scanned some of the big boys my single probe hasnt been blown up, but I knew they were big because they had a few% counter espionage . Its only when I try to send multiple probes to great juicy targets that I find they have high enough counter espionage to blow me away

[Cyclotron]

Well, I'll get better espionage then - though I guess I have to wait 11 hours for my impulse research to be done.

or more probes. If counterespionage is 0, you can send out savely 2 more in the pack. Repeat untill done, or espionage starts to rise.

[Cyclotron]

Shiznat, I can't get through, even with 5 probes. If anyone has an espionage level higher than 4 (yes, laugh at me):

So juicy

Most likely the guy abandoned it. Heck, he might completely abandon the game? It's the same guy who blew up the other planet earlier today...


edit: the planet is still there buddy

edit: there's a whole row of one inactive guy at 3:226: 1,2,3,10,13,14,15. He's iI. practically all have lousy infrastructure, but for the speedy there is some loot to be had.
same for 227:12

Notes on vacation mode:

You have to turn it off when you come back. It is a minimum 48 hour deal.

You cannot be building anything or have any active fleets when you turn it on (freaking important).

Lastly, when you return, you will have to manually turn back on production at each of your planets in each category since it looks like the software sets all your production to 0%.

BTW I'm back, but still not doing much raiding due to time contraints.

[binTravkin]

Heah, how can one kill my probe each time I try to probe him if he only has 7% counter espionage chance.
Where is the trick??

[duke o' york]

High espionage tech, and decent defences. I'd hope that my home planet would kill your probes too if you were able to scan my planet. Which planet is it? I'll scan it for you if you'd like, but since it obviously has defences then I'm not sure it's worth your while finding out.

[binTravkin]

Don't bother, I'll do it myself next week..
