Help in defending against sab attacks.

For newcomers to ask questions to the other users... this section will usually answer most questions... requesting resources (naq/UUs/ATs) is not to be done here...

Help in defending against sab attacks.

What is the best way to go about defending sab attacks? :?

The Normalcy Bias

The normalcy bias refers to an extreme mental state people enter when facing a disaster. It causes people to underestimate both the possibility of a disaster occurring and its possible effects. This often results in situations where people fail to adequately prepare for a disaster, and on a larger scale, the failure of the government to include the populace in its disaster preparations. The assumption that is made in the case of the normalcy bias is that since a disaster never has occurred that it never will occur. It also results in the inability of people to cope with a disaster once it occurs. People with a normalcy bias have difficulties reacting to something they have not experienced before. People also tend to interpret warnings in the most optimistic way possible, seizing on any ambiguities to infer a less serious situation.

Are you suffering from normalcy bias?

Train more spies
Buy your next covert level
Set realm alert to critical.

When you set your realm alert to critical you can pretty much double your covert. Not stat wise, just for sabs and recon.

So infiltration units have no bearing on covert defences?

What is a respectful level for covert on Q?

Does changing realm alert to critical raise the chances of a failed sab/killing spies, or does it just increase the chances of discovering who sabbed you.

Thanks for the fast response, got bord after read upto page 15 of the old threads. :)

As said; At realm alert critical, your covert power is effectively doubled for defensive purposes. I,e, if you have 90billion in covert power, and you set RA to crit, you will have (for defensive purposes) about 180Billion.

Obviously that’s quite a jump. Think of it as a temporary 2 spy levels. :D

(A note: I just realized you mentioned Q. All above concerns Main. :P
Still, I am fairly certain the RA crit in Q also doubles covert

Great stuff, Thanks.

When I started out I was stockpiling Infiltration Units, but they have proved useless unless reconing some-one, so I'v now converted them to Covert.

I don't see a sticky thread on this, I can't have been the only one confused about defending sab attacks.

I know this is un-related, but is there a way to destroy offencive weapons, or is there a way to chose which weapons are targeted?
