ghost probe

this probe projects a fleet of the senders choice to where ever the probe lands it will look like a real fleet on dsp you can see it move just like a real fleet.once it makes contact with any fleet it will vanish.

I like this. What would the fleet be titled? Would it be the sender's name?

And how many ships does it show?

The fleet should have the name of the sender.Also the sender should be able to input the type of fleet seen on dsp.

Ever heard of "decoys"? that way you could send it near your base and the enemy will think that you have a fleet strong enough

This idea is brilliant!


Imagine an alliance in control of a score planet, and suddenly they see 20 "incomings" on their planets and have to leave.

This probe could be used so much!

Brilliant!

Absolutely brilliant!

EDIT: Oh, and I guess probe one, would show up as "fleet1" probe 2 "fleet2" and probe 3 "fleet3" annd if you research final exploration.... what would wouldprobe 4 be?

I'm not sure Admin, it was kind of the na,e that drew me into the topic.
And besides, the probe basically creates a "ghost" fleet.

we are not sure anymore.

it would lead to disappointing situations only.

so maybe a drawback:
1. it can send out the fleet signatures only while moving.
2. only one way probe. when it reaches its target, then it selfdestructs (optionally: one course change possible)
