how do you defend against probe teams?
mauibound posted 04-02-99 12:06 PM ET
1. You can defend bases by placing your own probe team in them; an opposing probe team must beat your probe team before it can attack.
2. You can stop probes from bribing your units by keeping more than one unit stacked together; probes can't pribe stacked units.
3. Build the Hunter-Seeker Alogorithm Special Project (right name?) which prevents all probe attacks by oppposing factions.
Hope that helps...

And did you know, that you can put better reactors on your probes, which doesn't even cost you more. It isn't automatically made, so you will have to enter the unit design. But they make prime probe defenders (and attackers)
