I only recently started playing TA and I've noticed that I get information on what other races are building, how long it will take, what they are researching, their ships are seen on the map...pretty much everything about them and every move they make is available for me to see without one of my own ships nearby to observe, without even a dime being spent on espoinage, and frankly its just too easy this way. I've blind exploration on, not sure if its related or not, but is there anyway to hide all this info unless I've got spies or ships nearby to observe this? The information is displayed through the planets list section of the control panel.
