spying slider?

from GalCiv2 Forums
when you slide the espinarge slider are you setting a per turn amount to a flat fee?

so if i set it to 800 is that 800 per turn or 800 and that is it.

The slider seems to be a fixed percentage of your income per click. So early game, you need to go up several clicks just to get the minimum 1bc, while late game, the first slider click might correspond to 75bc. There's also no way to set an amount other than at the slider click-stop points, so if that first stop is, say, 40bc, your only choice is to pay the full 40, or have no espionage at all.

The slider is a "per turn cost", that is set to a percentage of the total galactic population. As the population grows in the game so does the espianage cost. After you reach "Advanced" espiange, you can cut spending off completely, since any additional espianage spending is wasted.

One click is all you really need. Spending more just makes it go faster. I've never tried to figure out if spening a bunch right away or spending a little over time costs more.
