Chance of Failure Increasing??

[Tinkerbell]

Sorry guys, yet another question for the boffins:

I find an INACTIVE player. (i) in red.

I send a probe and get a report that he has no ships or defences. My 'Chance of failure' is 0%.

I attack, and take half of his resources.

I send a second probe before my next attack. My 'Chance of failure' is now shown as 5%.

The target remains inactive. (i) in red.

What has caused my risk of destruction to increase???

Your esp. levels might be equal, so your chance variates from 0 to 10-15% percents on a random function.

Thank you for the immediate response.

You have explained how this has increased my 'Chance of failure'; but not why?

Should I raise this as a 'Bug', because the figure should remain constant, and at 0%!

How I said, it makes/generates random amount from 0 to about 15 % failure if your levels are equal. For example
You send 5 spies:
1st - 0%
2nd - 5%
3rd - 15%
4th - 3%
5th - 0%

If it is 0%, there is no chance you probe to be destroyed, but if it is 1 or more, your probe can be destroyed, and you are a rral lucky if it is not.
