Title: How to see enemy ground forces
Post by: Detros on March 19, 2017, 08:48:48 AM

Is there a way to see the amount and types of ground forces on enemy planet before the actual ground combat?
Sensors seem to only pick the amount of EM those colonies are radiating. Or maybe it would show ground forces too but I have found only colonies non guarded by ground forces?

You can detect a ground combat strength estimate of the enemy forces. I think active sensors are needed, probably resolution 1. At least I never had problems detecting ground forces with combat ship fleets.

I have res 1 sensors on my geosurvey ships that find those enemy colonies. So far it seems all of those are just listening posts without garrison.
So I guess I didn't see anything because there were no ground forces to be seen :D
