    I've gained about 1120 in the last 24 hours. I go not have the licence and not all of the premium kids. The last three UFO's all gave me 50 probes though and I still have three ammo - I'm about 300 away at the moment - it seems that as the deadline gets closer, the instances of getting 3 probes/squish increases too.

    I think you stand a chance......

    Forgo some sleep and play at least every 4hrs. That would be 900 point/day for squishing aliens in your SF. Run you kids T or T 3 times a day, Collect ammo 3x/day, open all your bags and fire off all the ammo. More than enough time for play but you could always pay.

    What happen if I don't get 8050 probes on time, is the DTD still available until I hit 8050 probes later?

    I am short of 2000 probes, I doubt I can hit the target in 2 days time. Should I use Donuts to buy DTD?

    From what I have seen on other sites, the DTD will become a crafting item for those who don't get it by gathering probes. So I'd say not worth using donuts at this point.
    New neighbors always welcome!

    Yes and no. From what I've seen it's going to be pretty pricy as a crafting item, so it may well be worth it to spend a few donuts to make up for missing probes than to possibly miss out on one of the major crafting items, or pay even more donuts for that. (Because if you're struggling to get probes, you're probably short on treat bags too.)

    But still, keep tapping and resist the urge to donut until the last moment. I'm on 7k myself and I'm fairly sure I'll make it now that it's coming into the weekend.

    Doesn't matter. I have no premium kids, no license and no ray gun. Hardly any neighbors for space ships either. Just played a LOT.
