Alien Probes

No jokes, please:) But can the AI recognize that there is nearby friendly probe and move it away from the friendly one. The AI is now building 4 or 5 probes, then they are get sent to same place. See below, my ship is yellow green, 3 alien probes with its scanning range.

Hey!

I am not sure I got the question. You mean that you have exploration treaty with an ally, and want to make scouting more efficient, so that probes go further away from each other?

AI scouts the territory it does not know. So if their probes are ahead of yours, they will continue their journey

I am asking to have the AI scout more efficiently. I have come across a stack of probes on 1 hex. Just the next turn I came across of a stack of 3 (not the probes pictured). If they are scouting, they should move away from each other to scout more territory.

My probes go into different directions to scout more new territory.

Quoting lordduzi,

I would like a 'spiral' pattern setting for probes. So you can have one spiral from a given start point in ever bigger circles. In the early game it would map the local starting area.

I also wonder if having more ability to customize things like this might lead to greater complexity/ or a steeper learning curve.
