I like this idea. Or have more covert capacity with each covert level. Or be able to trade covert capacity or something.

Seems to me you want unlimited covert. By doing this an alliance will only need 1 covert man to sabb away an entire alliances att. Since he will have unlimited covert he can hit every member of the alliance 9 times with his covert the alliance helped him build. I mean do you want your account and every account in your alliance to be sabbed by a guy with a 3 trill covert 9 times?

I believe he is talking about covert capacity not the amount of times that you can sab someone. Since you only get 50 covert turns they get used up pretty fast.

Exactly the point. You need to run out quickly, or as Lore so eloquently explained, an alliance could pool all their covert on one account and use that to sab whomever they want. As it is now, one account can sab 50 times, with 9 sabs per target that comes to 5-6 targets. If this limit is removed, they can do 100 targets, or 1000. The costs will be negligible, cause AT's are freely and limitlessly available.

I agree though, some adjusting could be done. At least to make it possible to spy a couple more times. I see no need to make sabotage more freely available. Maybe the cost of spying could be cut to 1/2 or 1/3 of what it is now, since it hasn't been updated when AT's were pushed to 3 per turn. We can attack more, but not spy out more targets.

This Idea SUCKS!

Lets just give people the ability to do whatever they want unrestricted... That sounds like a good plan...

maybe make spy only come from attacks. But leave the covert still cost capacity. Cuz it is a pain during war to use all your coverts for sabbing, then have none to spy with when you need too.

if anything Sabs should be limited to the 50 covert capacity to avoid one person doing mass sabs...

Spying... should not use covert capacity... also spying should not take away from the maximum sabs on a realm...

If I spy on someone once before a massing... then once near the end to check see how many covert guys and what not they have left to work out efficient sabbing I am now down 2 sabs on that target...

whats even worse when I'm planet hunting and someone has 10 planets... trying to get all the information in 10 spies or whatever before your intelligence chief tells you not to do it any more...

I think that spying should be unlimited and covert capacity should dropp only when you are sabbing ...
