Modular code sounds good. And LordTonto - these probes would be a great start to the Research and Build techs. I am sure this is where PJ is going with the modular code.
Being a builder, I hate to suggest this- how about a planet buster probe. searches for a planet and blows up, draining energy or harming production in some way.
And a Probe killer probe. Looks for other probes.
A planet buster probe would be too much.
Now we have thought about an Energy Syphon Probe that you can real space into a sector. Once there it sucks off energy from every planet in the sector at a rate the owner of the probe PAYS for before sending the probe out. And yes even a Probe Hunter. This would be a probe that just hunted other probes. Only one could be deployed by a player at a time. It would kill any probe it finds. It doesn't die when it kills another probe so it just keeps on looking for more probes to kill.
