....And WITHOUT SACRIFICING A FLEET SLOT (via Final Exploration).
The recent additions of the pyramid device, archeology probe to the prior list of probes (investigation, dsp, trace, scrambler, oscillation, scout, decloaking, wide range, and the rarely used vessel scan) (and there maybe a "colony dsp" coming as well for a total of 12 probe types to be used from 3 slots) makes this VITAL.....otherwise ST will be subject to new "PROBING MULTI'S" (Creation of multi's for mass probes to use) 
Final Exploration would then get a total of 5 probe slots should one chose that....

Alternately maybe at a certain evo you gain another probe slot  That would require (in order to gain the "vet advantages") multi's remain in existance for considerabley longer than the overnight base spamming they do

That reminds me Dave of an observation but it belongs in another previous thread. I'll look for it. |

I agree with Dave if you reach for example 50% Evo you should get an extra DSP slot , but with only 1 restriction you can't use it for your 4th DSP it should be used for other probes otherwise higher Evo will give to much advantage

I agree with Dav, 10/10
If everyone has access to it, then it's not a real advantage. Even if it is extra slot for +%50 evo ppl, all you have to do is hang around until you are +%50 and eventually those people will EVO out and restart, then YOU will have the advantage.
In whatever form we do this, it should NOT be research based, we already have enough to research within an EVO.

If everyone were to get another probe slot...the number of battles should increase. No one would have any advantage. Due to the numerous ships available and the research time needed dedicated to that, I don't usually research any fancy probes untill I get the ships researched I want to fight with. Why not speed up things a little with another probe and reduced research times ? These are across the board things that maybe was tried before...I don't know ?
I could stand to do 2 battles against 2 different opponents in 1 day if the game allowed it . |
