Talk:Hermes Class Probe

I tried to deploy this dudes from one planet of mine to another, and it told me I'm protected. Anyone else getting this?

Did you try to probe by accident? When you select the Hermes probe for your fleet, it automatically changes to an "espionage" mission. If you want to deploy it, you need to switch it back to "Deploy". --Rob 14:58, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

The small cargo capacity of the Hermes limits its range for long-distance probing. Is there a way to extend that range, other than by slowing it down or deploying it to a base closer to the target?

There are 3 fins to the probe, the dark short piece that looks like it's sticking out near the base of the top fin is the third fin shaded like the end of the side fin.

Regarding the paragraph entitled fodder, which states that defenses will shoot at the weakest units first: "In each of the rounds, all of the attacker's and defender's units fire randomly at the opposing fleet's units simultaneously." quote from combat wiki page. further more,
