Hello, can anyone offer some exploration / probing feedback please. Just reply in this topic with information / feedback on rewards, spawn size, difficulty etc. I saw some of you in the news with Unknown Aliens, those are exploration encounters. I'm trying to expand / improve / refine the exploration. Exploration Guide here: http://forum.spaceo.net/index.php/topic,3541.0.htmlThank you and God Speed! Sir Emi |

I find that they're all too big for me to try

 If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds' worth of distance run, yours is the Earth and everything that's in it. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. |

ok so far it seems the probes quantity are not balanced while ur doing mission u actually get roughly around the same amount pinpointer probes and multispectral but u need to use the pinpointed probes more often to determine the location of the aliens so u always run out of em while still having tons of multispectral.
most of the times the special items u receive from this aliens are actually resource items like gold carbon etc. its not really that special for someone who already has a mining facility already doing that.
lastly most of my encounters with the unknown aliens their FP are always on level or lower that my tail ships which means if i have a lead of ard 100 Bil FP and my last ship has a FP of 10 Bil FP the unknown alien would usually be below 10 Bil FP and i feel thats a bit too low.

So far I have a 1:3 ratio multispectral to pinpointer, it seems fine to me.

yes u do and thats my point when u scan u need to use more pinpointers instead of the multispectral so ur always short of the pinpointers probes |

- Added a chance to get probes from unknown aliens
- Increased pinpointer probes in encrypts a bit

I have had it 3 times now, that I find with the multi-scan 5 alien "places" and then I find on 1 planet 2 of them, but all the other 6 planets in the quadrant are empty  Is it normal that you can't find them sometimes and have to scout again or just something wrong? Greetz, ABI  |

E!! Check this out! since these things pay off like gold tran's they should be a lil(lot) harder to find. like start at a 3% chance for each pinpoint probe, improving by 2% (maxing out at 35%) with each reaserch level. also multispectral scan should cost 5 turns, and each pinpoint scan should cost 1 turn. and the aliens in the incursions should pay a bit less than these aliens. these aliens are way too easy to find right now. it's like handing out free credits it'll make everyone lazy and fat like bum on couch drinking beer in front of T.V.  |
