Thanks. So I can assume it just got raided? Or does that include probes?

Can anyone with a high espionage level try probing 1:136:4 for me? I've tried it a couple of times, with 2 probes, and have just researched to a higher level, but i'm still only getting his resource count, no info on defences etc. thanks

Damn I'm in another galaxy. Do you have any free ships to see how long it would take to reach me planet? I only have spy drones at home right now all my cargo ships out on raids...

I'd be willing to trade you metal and/or crystal fro deuterium. I'm not sure what the exchange right might be- someone here might know!

I've heard of exchange rates something like

metal/crystal/deuterium
3:2:1
or
2.5:1.8:1

Something in that range

do you gain/lose points by trading? If I trade 200,000 metal for 100,000 crystal, means I lose (100,000/1000) 100 points and the other guy gain 100 points?

I think you dont because you only gain points when you spend resources so if you just ship away resources without spending them then you would never have got points from those resources in the first place

Point is gained by spending the resource. You don't gain any points if you just have it.

How much are you talking about? This is like my 3rd day, so I'm not exactly a producing powerhouse ;)

The resource I have the most of is deuterium, but I only have like 1350 so it's probably not worth the trouble to you.

EDIT: I'm pretty close, 2:143:12

At this point I'd take whatever I can get. I need tons of deuterium to research combustion engines so that i can build large cargo ships. My level 11 deuterium mine produces only 400 units deuterium each hour so you've got about 3 hours worth of deuterium there. Let me know what you'd want in exchange

I am really suspicious that I've NEVER gotten any report of espionage against my planet. I'm starting to think I'm lacking some requirement in order to get such a report- maybe I need some light fighters sitting in orbit?

I have level 3 espionage but nobody patrolling my planet, only some small lasers
