as most of u know, eros probed through many ppl, but now there has been a few others that have copied him,
is it now cool to do that?

There are so many wannabes playing this game. I'm not going to mention names.. because I think they know who they are.

A few weeks after Eros started probing, i've only had him (He probed me twice before he left) and this guy called Spartan (Or something similar)

if you mean for people to recon other people
i would think that would be a valid tactic in a war game
and If you are in low ranks
I know many people use 1 turn attacks to probe for UU versus using a covert turn cuz its quicker, and that 50 covert capacity can run out very quickly
your post isnt very specific at all
but I would have to say using RECON on players is a valid tactic
you can recon in many different ways
some people do it covertly with SPIES
some do it OVERTLY by just attacking you
now if someone recons you, do u have the right to respond if you find out who did it, I guess you would if you were really that sore
so whats your dang problem?

ROFLMAO.....you think Eros was the first to use 1 turns to see if someone has uu out or a decent def?
People have been doing that since the game came out.

Well its when people probe in the top 300 for UU that you get worried. How much UU can they possible have out that makes raiding worth it.

You'd be surprised....especially with some of the Tauri defs knocking around.
People get careless.....or busy in RL....and there are some very big UPs around.

1 turn attacking to see if they have enough UU out for raiding is a standard tactic.
Its nothing new.

It might be nothing to some but to some of us its annoying when we have to repair our defences and motherships from those who have the top 100 ranks

Covert is there for a reason, if you've used it all then have the patience to wait a turn to two to get some more.
