Espionage

Just a thought

from GalCiv2 Forums
I was thinking that when you max out on espionage for a certain race that you should see the location of there planets,fleets and ship movements. because when it says that i know more about the empire then it's leader then maybe i should know those details and probaly others. you should also keep paying money for that info.
just a thought. what do you guys think?

I agree. In particular I think that any planets which you have not yet explored should be revealed. I'm not so sure about continuing to pay for it though.

Yeah you may be right bout the paying part, but if that empire didn't discover some planets than you shouldn't see them

I'd like a lot more detail on espionage. I want to have the option of destabilizing planetary governments, assassinating enemy leaders, stealing tech, etc. Right now, it just gives you information. I want my spies to be pro-active, not just passive observers.

Espionage is getting a major overhaul in Dark Avatar.

Sabotage would be great, it would really make the game that much more immersive. Stealing ships, crippling morale, destroying planetary buildings, copying research. That would be scary, you would have to really make sure you don't get sabotaged and focus quite a bit or resources on harder levels if it found its way into the game.

aah,nothing like seeing an Alien Annialation fleet appear on your sensors and know that there isn't a single working weapon onboard any of them!

sabotage would be cool.

Looks like espionage is going to be significantly enhanced in DA...

I agree that the Epionage function in this game is a joke. The slider only allows you to spend something like a minimum of 250 BC per turn and I usually get Advanced Info on a race in THREE TURNS. Even MOO did this better. I also miss having a Spymaster and deciding wether I wanted to Sabotage or Steal Tech.
