I believe you're referring to the probe rollover bug.
The Data Angels start with a probe rating of +2. They gain free Covert Ops Center in every base once they achieve Pre-Sentient Alogorithms, which gives those bases an additional +2 probe.. Unfortunately +4 Probe rating rollsover to 0.
It hasn't been fixed.

hm... interesting...
Dont get how it actually rolls over to 0 cause well... Most roll over problems are with the number 255, and... 128? Half of FF anyways... Yeah, why does 4 roll over? O.o Unless its done with 2 bits of binary or something...

There are dozens of non-fixed bugs in SMAC/SMAX. See this thread on 'Poly for a discussion.

Covert Ops centers which added +2 are an innovation with the expansion pack. I suppose it is possible that the probe rating shares a byte with other ratings and was only allocated 2 bits of that byte.

Think you can do the +1 probe thing in the editor... :S

You can modify the faction file angels.txt to reduce the +2 probe to +1.
But all the same? If we did have the source code, think of all the hardcoded stuff we could fix!

Suggestion: make them immune to the probe penalty from running Knowledge.
