i believe the formula is for even techs you recieve info on resources/fleet/defenses/ and for every 1 level espy that yours varies from the other player, one level of info is removed/added..to compensate for additional information add 3 probes to the espionage so.
You have say an espionage of 10 and your victim is at 14, you would only receive the resource info, in order to receive the fleet info, you would have to send not 1 but 9 probes..
I think this is close, but may not be exact. but it should point you in the right direction, I can say that once you receive the fleet info by sending more probes, you will have the base needed, and if you want more info, simply add 3 probes per line of info desired...that SHOULD get you the info you want, but as many things, there can be "variables" (bugs) to this.
The lines of information are as follows and in this order:
Resources
Fleet
Defenses
Buildings
Technology
