Request for the Director of Base Production : PROBES!!

Lemmy · October 21, 2002, 04:48

Now that we can build probe teams AND discovered another faction, the Morganites, i'd like to have a probe team build ASAP to infiltrate them.
This is vital to our security, and allows us the plan our future course of actions against the Morganites more carefully.

Signed,
Lemmy, your local criminal DEI.

Where do we send this probe ? Do we know where Morgan landed ?

Throwing DoPO support behind this request, seeing it affects my portfolio as well.

What are the chances that this will adversely affect our relations with them? If we become Pact Brothers with them anyway, we will not need a Probe team (at least for a while).

pretty slim, i've never had problems infiltrating other factions.

Is that already decided? If so, can we do it without switching to FM, because if we switch to FM, we will definitely need probes if we want to continue exploring.

So long as we only infiltrate, and don't attack any of their Probe Teams, there'll be no problems. We shouldn't try to do anything more unless we can do it with no chance of being discovered (Occasional untraceable bribing of military forces for instance).

We can attck probe teams of a pact mate, he wont mind. Remember, probe teams are not supposed to exist, so Morgan would deny the existence of a probe we destroyed.

It pisses them off if it happens within their own territory. I'll not have you attack a base that has a Probe Team because you think you can get away with it. If they get caught also, (Including just sent home)they get even more pissed.

Pandemoniak · October 21, 2002, 07:45

Well, who talked about going IN their territory ? We simply destroy any probe that dares walking in our land. Morgan wont be angry, he'd say thats not his probes.

Archaic · October 21, 2002, 07:51

Even better...send them back unharmed until he gets the message. Needless destruction of our allies assets is worthless.

Pandemoniak · October 21, 2002, 07:54

First : its not our allies probe its no ones probe. He denies their existence.
Second :

Just for the fun of it.

1) Makes no difference. We know it's his when we capture them.
2) And again you show yourself to be a hypocrite on the whole killing issue.

Lemmy - got it on my list I'm working on, how many would you and the DPO like?

Actually, the game will simply stack probes and units with the probes of a pactmate. They cannot be attacked.

A treaty partner's probes, on the other hand, are a different story.
