This ship builder wouldn't add the scan radius stuff, but its in the description. The reason i created this ship was that many people runout of probes that they really need and instead of losing your fleet 3 to have 4 probes i thought of using your fleet as a probe.



*******Corrections**************
Hehe i sort of made a few mistakes that make it too good. Ok, instead this ship recycles after it probes and the mp is 3000. That way only 2 can be made =)

[Nemesis]

if the mp is 3000 then you can only build 1

[blackmagic]

opps my bad =) 2000

[darklim]

This ship is bad.
The Scout of human is better.

wat do you mean the scout of human? This is a ship that you can use instead of probes without getting killed

[Lady Battle Cat]

I don´t think that it is a good idea.

[Metody I The Evil]

Why, the idea of portable DSP at the cost of MP is pretty good indeed...

But, if you want it to be balanced, add selfdestruct and remove the warp - that way it has to be within a fleet as well as it has to evade the battles in order to survive... And to do that, you'll have to have another fleet just for it, that is cloaked, which blocks more MP, etc... Yup... Selfdestruct and no warp...

but your only limited to 3 PROBES!!!! Dude i ain't stupid

Final Exploration
4 probes

[blackmagic]

yeah i know about final exploration, but with this you can have 5 and the 2 that you build have the ability to probe as a regular probe or go into a fight and find the exact fleet setup=)

[JaM]

Wouldn't it be easier to use a flying saucer or a scout?

[blackmagic]

it might but with this you can do the ssame thing a dsp can and a scout with almost a 100% of not losing points

@Darklim Can you move a vessel scan? if you can tell me how because i cant figure it out.

And once a DSP gets to its location you cant move it again if you want to move it you gotta destroy one and then build another and then move it over. With this ship you could just move it from one place to another without all the time wasted.
