Probe loss formula

anyone know what it is? thanks

ROI

Who want to know it want to cheat $-)
No for real start probing and take notes it is really easy to figure out.

It's super simple

1 if probes> 1000, then go to 2
2 destroy all probes

I don't know if there is an accurate # tbh.. seems random

MissMeadows

It's just a certain % of what you send, but within a small random window. I forget what % because tbh it really doesn't matter that much.

It matters for strategies a lot. Most of us are just experienced enough we do same old same old without calvs. If I recall off the top of my head it's half of rr pop loss for successful pa. 1.25%-2.5% without shields or probe armor. And roughly 4 or 5 times that if you fail. Shields and probe armor reduce losses by half multiplicative. So with both losses about 1/4 that. Been a while since I had a kd and did any robbing.

It's definitely random within a range with max 2x the min loss.

awesome thanks

done some testing. I think it's 0.7%-1.5% without shield or armor.

ROI

Loses between 0.0075 - 0.0035
for not shielded with probe armour is what I have saved.

So it is 0.0055 +-0.002 Random
double loses without probarmour.
or even half of that shielded with probearmour.
All in success probes .
