I don't know if it's ever been suggested, but i would like to see a spy probe that lets you see a ships hull and shield strenght. I have 3 possible ideas for it.

Spy Probe: Hull; Displays total Hull strenght of target ship

Spy Probe: Shields; Displays total Shield strenght of target ship

OR

Spy Probe: Ship Integrity; Displays total Hull and Shield strenght of target ship

I know that alot of people probably won't want more probes eating up artifact points in the arti shipments but i think these would be good esp for lower ranked players when trying to PvP. Maybe even set it up as a new CT Lab discovery instead of a random gain.

Thoughts, suggestions, modifications?

first of all, suggested before, thou I quite forgot how it turned out in term of views....

so.... here is the response this time
I also don't want stuff like this cluttering up my CTL...
Here is how I want it IF it is to be added:
1. purchased by badge, entirely optional so no downside
OR
2. a 10 E/round, 10 round/completion repeatable mission that uses atk/def probes

Unless you're trying to catch someone doing something illicit or you're trying to figure their resource timer, who actually uses spy probes at all?

1-Target someone
2-Shoot them
3-Are they disabled?
4-If "No" go to step 2. If "yes" go to step 1.

Using badges wouldn't be a bad thing, maybe have it as a new Red badge item, 3 or 5 badges, something reasonable.

The 3 Spy Probes you can buy with GP are only 2 GP each, i don't think it would be a bad idea to have it as a GP item for 2 or 3 GP each. Not sure how many ppl would actully pay for them tho.

In answer to Darth Flagitious, i use the weapon and defense probes alot to gauge how well i'd do in PvP before i fire the first shot if our ships look evenly matched, but even having slightly better att and def doesnt do someone alot of good if they have 7k hull and the target has 12k hull. I just wanted something extra to help pick targets so i'm not wasting as much energy.
