I sent a fleet to scout a player with 0 o ships... and i get " 's fleet and mothership were huge. Your fighters knew they would face certain death and turned back" he has a small mothership with 0 fleets. What's going on? I am not going to say the players's name because is irrrelevant, it happened with different players with or without alliance.  |

his overall power is greater then that of yours, therefor,e you can't scout him. Next time you talk like that to a moderator, actions will be taken, as it is a violation of ToS. THIS is your only warning.

you have to send ships with fleet power close to the commander you are scouting.
example: commander has 1 billion fleet power and zero ships, you have to send ships close to that power to scout if you are lower. If you are higher in rankings you can send anything. I think it works something like that.
If it says the mothership was huge, your fighters stand no chance - send more fleets

my mistake, this is why people should not be able to use other people's avatars. I saw your avatar russel and thought snipedragon was posting. I'll have to talk to Sir Emi about this.
And yes, Silverthorne is right.

Off topic: I was not impolite, i tought the answer was ironic, so i was ironic ...in self defence  , however, point taken.  On topic: Maby he was much to powerfull... but he had no ships, and he was in my rank range... And besides my fleets should do what i ask them to do, even if their death is involved. Obviously with 13 segments and no fleets he should have a huge rank to be in top 200... |

simple, it's a glitch, one that happens a lot. That or he had a LOT of credits, which isn't likely.
and saying Duh (you spelled it dugh) to a commander is considered impolite, just so you know. and just becaue he is in your rank rank (meaning on screen) doesn't mean he is in range (meaning you can click him) and even if he was, his power could still have been too much for your ships if most of your power is from your base.

Well i guess his power comes from rank and facilities.... and my power comes mainly from my fleets. However:
1. i don't think is normal to be unable to attack a commander with no neb protection 12 size mothership and no fleets at all, who is in my range (click works), no matter the rank and facilities.
2. i don't think is normal for my fleets to chicken out, no matter what, when i give an attack order. Is a different matter when i am attacked, when fleets should run if overwhelmed. In order to prevent using tiny fleets as kamikaze scouts maby they should be destroyed but the size and capabilities of the attacked fleet should not be revealed (like :??????? ??????? ??????? ???????)
3. Espionaje and counter-espionaje is a must in this type of game, including alliance members, alliance power, fleet size and power, rank, command points, commander prestige, and so on, leaving designs 4 gold members acess as intended. If scouting do not work... there is no real espionaje other than using alts to infiltrate the others alliance.

because I was 66 posts away from my 3000th post, now I am 49, hence the 49 posts left at the bottom of my comment. But see, you and snipedragon have the same avatar, so I saw that and though you were snipedragon, it was an easy mistake, lol.
