So I just thought about this last night. Some of you may like it, some of you may not like it.

There could be a new Spy Probe type that you could use on an enemy ship to know if he's online or offline. That way you can make sure you don't attack a ship that's online without knowing it (taking forever to disable). This can be useful to save some energy, if you're a PvPer.

Any thoughts?

Spy Probe to check Online/Offline players = Check if there's any buffs active or check if their resources is capped or recently claimed.

to check buff is good for PvP as you can "target" the ship.

a probe showing whether the player is online or not could be interesting in case of planet attacks:
"There could be a new Spy Probe type that you could use on an enemy owned planet to know if player owning the planet is online or offline."

Uh no. No. No. No. What's the point of that? Easy invade? People need to stop asking for artifacts that can make their life easier. No fun on that at all. You take a chance on trying to invade a good planet, too bad if the owner is on.

I can not disagree, also I just altered the wording itself. As each player, I would like to keep my planets.
