If you want to get rid of them completely, you can try to find their source.

Here are a few places to get hints on the source: - The arilou can give you a very general but helpful hint - ZFP and Thraddash push you in the right direction - If you keep selecting the fourth (I think it's the fourth) converation option with the probes, they'll eventually start giving you coordinates. Each coordinate set you get will push you closer to the source. - Melnorme will just give you the information.

Using Fwiffo against everything out there is an artform to be practiced countless times. I suggest you go into Super Melee and do several Spathi vs Slylandro matches.
As you are no doubt aware, the best tactic with the Spathi Eluder is to run away and fire. However against the very fast Slylandro Probe, you have to charge at him, ride your inertia, then turn around and fire BUTTs just before you get into his weapons range. You might lose a few crew doing this (often this is unavoidable), but you can always replenish those losses with flagship crew (recommended unless you're low on crew there). Try avoiding skirmishes, by upgrading to maximum flagship speed, and a little tricky manuvuering. This will help you greatly until you find Source, er the source.

I prefer to use cruisers against the slylandro. They work okay, and they're expendable unlike Fwiffo.

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

Also, Orz and Supox can rip Chmmr to shreds. You have to put a bit of effort into staying out of the tractor, but it can be done. If you're using the druuge well, a good chmmr pilot can force you to burn several crew, but that's about the end of it.

A couple more ships that work well against the chmmr:
Androsynth: Cometing him is great fun, but there's a safer way to do it. When he's medium distance from you, unload about three-quarters of your tank on bubbles, and comet way to escape. A few bubbles will get through. It's a long process, but you'll win eventually.
Thraddash: Against the computer, just let the stupid ai wander into your flames. Against human, it's a long and drawn-out battle, similar to fighting a chmmr with the androsynth. When fighting a human player use the flame trails and fire your peashooter occasionally (the zapsats often don't stop it).
Finally, the shofixti works nicely. Use the tractor beam or the planet to get moving fast, then when you're really close, use the glory device! That takes out all the zapsats and a third of his crew.
