Espionage
From OGame Wiki
Espionage is a mission that only Espionage Probes can go on. It returns an Espionage Report giving information about the target planet. You can send espionage probes to any planet, but your probes will have a higher chance of being detected (and shot down) if the target planet has a higher level of Espionage Technology researched.
[edit] Espionage Report
When you're spying another planet, your probe(s) will reach the destination and immediately send an Espionage Report containing, at least, information about the Resources lying on that planet. Having a high level of Espionage Technology will help you to obtain more information about a planet, but it's not the only thing that matters.
| (Your Espionage Level - Enemy Espionage Level) * |(Your Espionage Level - Enemy Espionage Level)| + Number of Probes | |
|---|---|
| Formula result | Espionage report will detect the enemy's: |
| <2 | Resources |
| 2 | Resources + Fleet |
| 3 | Resources + Fleet + Defense |
| 5 | Resources + Fleet + Defense + Buildings |
| 7 | Resources + Fleet + Defense + Buildings + Research |
Formula:
When spying another planet, you can be in one of these three situations:
- Your espionage level is higher
- This is the best situation. The information you will receive of the enemy is determined by squaring the difference in your espionage levels then adding the number of probes you sent.
- Your espionage levels are equal
- In this situation you don't have an advantage over the enemy, so the number of probes you send will determine how much information you obtain.
- His/her espionage level is higher than yours
- This is the worst situation. Your enemy has the technical advantage, so if you want information you'll have to send mass amounts of probes to balance out the difference (refer to the formula). For example, if your enemy is 3 levels above you, you'll have to send at least 9 probes just to balance out the difference. Any probes above and beyond this will determine how much information you will obtain. For example, if your espionage level is 3 and your enemy's is 6 and you want to see his/her Research, you will need to send 16 probes (9 probes to balance out the difference and 7 more to reach the "Research" level of information)
