Author Topic:   Negative Probe ain't so bad

I have noticed that a negative PROBE rating, despite what both the manual and datalinks say, has no effect on enemy probe action success rate. It seems only to make mind control cheaper, it has no effect on the % values for success/escape (only morale of probe team seems to effect this). In other words, it is no easier to steal tech from the
UoP then from Miriam. Has anyone else noticed this?

It doesn't affect your cost I believe, I think it effects the cost of enemies actions on you. But i agree, especially if you play Transend, where the AI gets James Bond probe teams, the probe rating doesn't hurt you.
