Military Suggestions

Here we go:

1. -> Covert Operations
- Ability to steal more value on ships
- The ability to discover intel either on the government or the % of security workers
- Government subversion lasting longer (maybe Agents/2)
- The way how Hacking science database works is ridiculous and useless
- More XP (Exploding Fist = 1 XP??? -> Really?!?)
- Check what is the least-used operation and remove it. Maybe add the ability to blow up ships instead.

Reason: So that CovOppers are able to create an higher impact on the game.


2. -> Waves

- Ability to perform different types of scans at the same time on the "Galaxy Scan" section.

Reason: Ease of use when scanning galaxies.


- Possibility to see government on Dev Scan or another kind of scan after the AU scan.

Reason: More information on target's.

Re: Military Suggestions

1.
- Stealing ships is powerful enough at the moment, because you can either steal useless ships or perfect ships - it has to be balanced around stealing perfect ships, for which it's just fine right now.
- More ways to gain information on a planet seems fine to me
- Anarchy covert op is already strong. Putting someone in Anarchy for 10 ticks is insane, the planet loses out on a ton of resources at no benefit of the covert opper.
- Why/how is Science hacking ridiculess and useless? It's a great way for covert oppers to catch up on research.
- As covert operations should be a secondary thing in my opinion, the xp gains are fine currently considering it's possible to be completely safe from losing anything.
- Why do you want to blow ships up? Which covert operation do you think is the least used, and why is that?

2.
- No problem with that, more options = good. Whether it's worth coding I don't know.
- More information is good. Not sure which scan it should be on, it might be better suited for a Covert op.

1 - I'm just stating that bribing guards or stealing agents is probably (to my belief) not used enough because it doesn't bring decent benefits. Blowing up ships was just an idea

2 - I agree with that. Kaiba also referred. Ability to see a government with a covert operation.

Re: Military Suggestions

Stealing agents is most definitely weak and probably not used much; personally I've stolen 1500 guards, which isn't that much but it saved me 300k each.
Blowing up ships was changed into stealing them. I don't see the point in a covert op that only harms a planet, there should always be something to gain (other than some measly xp).

Re: Military Suggestions

Many people see CovOps as an irritation rather than as something to be encouraged or made more effective.

Re: Military Suggestions

Maybe bribing guards should always be a success if you use enough agents. Say if i'm immune and you hit me with 50 agents to bribe. maybe i should lose 500 guards to it. I dunno what kinda math you can put behind it. However right now if your immune your safe. We should find away to get rid of that. Then cov ops can take a more important place in the game

This would be really changing covert ops for some covert ops. The only way I can see this happening is if say 1 agent stole 10 guards but if you had 90% alertness you'd lose 1 guard not 10. I guess this could be done for most/all ops but that begs the question of why we want stealth (bonus on effectiveness of agents? )
