Espionage as a substitute for science?
Posted: Mon Feb 13, 2017 12:17 pm
Hi,
I wonder whether I can utilise espionage as a way to expedite science.
I read some posts that implicate that and of course intel reports usually tell you your agents stole x-terraquads of data if you make them target science.
I searched for more information on this but couldn't find much. There are awesome posts about intel but they explain how intel is calculated and so on.
So, could I just order my intelligence service to commit espionage on the Dominion's science e.g. and would have a reasonable success if my agents aren't found by their internal security?
What is your experience with this?
How much intel would I need? This also means: would it be efficient? Or does this mean greater efforts than researching on my own?
Which targets should I choose for my agents? Those which probably have a lot if research? Would this also work if I target enemies of a lower tech level than mine (I thought terraquad is terraquad)?
Thank you for your help.
