− | == Espionage calc does not make any sense ==
| |
− |
| |
− | according to your calc.
| |
− |
| |
− | If your Espionage Tech level is greater than or equal to your opponents:
| |
− | Espionage Number = number of probes in the scanning fleet + (your Espionage Tech level - opponent's Espionage Tech level)2.
| |
− |
| |
− | If your opponent's Espionage Tech level is greater than yours:
| |
− | Espionage Number = number of probes in the scanning fleet - (opponents' Espionage Tech level - your Espionage Tech level)2.
| |
− |
| |
− |
| |
− | so if my Espionage Tech level is 6 and my opponents is 2 and I send 1 probe then my Espionage Number = 17
| |
− |
| |
− | but if My Tech level is 2 and my opponents is 6 and I send 1 probe then my Espionage Number = 15
| |
− |
| |
− | the only diference in the calc is that if your Espionage Tech level is greater than or equal to your opponents then you add the number of probes sent, and if your opponents Espionage Tech level is greater than yours you subtract the number of probes sent.

− | '''I think I figured out the math mistake in the Tech level'''
| |
− |
| |
− | Remember when you square a negitive number, it gives you a positive number. Using the above example:
| |
− |
| |
− | if my Espionage Tech level is 6 and my opponents is 2 and I send 1 probe: 1 + (6-2)2 = one plus 4 squared or 1+16 or esp# of 17
| |
− |
| |
− | but if My Tech level is 2 and my opponents is 6 and I send 1 probe: 1 - (2-6)2 = one minus negative 4 squared or 1-16 or ESP# negative 15.
| |
− |
| |
− | Meaning in the second example you'll need 16 more probes just to see resources.
| |
− |
| |
− | But if tech levels only have a difference of 1 or 2, it shouldn't take too many probes to get the info you're looking for.

− | *If you think you've figured it out, email BFG tech support and ask them to confirm, then update the Wiki with your findings - would be helpful. [[User:48912161|-- jessejericho]] 17:32, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

| |
− | Is there anything after level 14 espionage tech? - random noob

| |
− | In the end, if someone WANTS to see what you have, they WILL be able to find out. all someone has to do is send 50 or 100 probes your way. Granted they will probably lose them, but they will still find out.

| |
− | Regarding the error - it was in your reading of the equations
| |
− |
| |
− | '''If your Espionage Tech level is greater than or equal to your opponent's:'''
| |
− |
| |
− | '''Espionage Number = number of probes in the scanning fleet + (your Espionage Tech level - opponent's Espionage Tech level)<sup>2</sup>.'''
| |
− |
| |
− | that says 1+(6-2)<sup>2</sup> = 17
| |
− |
| |
− | '''If your opponent's Espionage Tech level is greater than yours:'''
| |
− |
| |
− | '''Espionage Number = number of probes in the scanning fleet - (opponent's Espionage Tech level - your Espionage Tech level)<sup>2</sup>. '''
| |
− |
| |
− | That says 1-(6-2)<sup>2</sup> (the change was putting opponent first in the (6-2) part so the higher number is always first for a positive number) in this case 1-(6-2)<sup>2</sup> = 15
