Ok now I understand that when you recon a realm that some of your agents might not be able to reach all the planets in that realm. However one must surely consider that the homeworld which is bound to be infiltrated will have somewhere a list of all the planets, what they do and their defenses.
My suggestion is born out of fustration that when you recon someone with more than 3X their covert power you still sometimes have to recon that person 12 or more times just to find out all about their planets.
So the suggestion is this, If you recon someone and have more than 3X their defending covert power then you should be able to find this central repository of planet information on their homeworld and that nothing in the covert report should read as ???
What do you guys think?

What's it feel like? Took the wrong route
Watch it fall apart now you're knockin' at the wrong gate
For you to pay the toll, a price for you alone
The only deal you'll find, I'll gladly take your soul

Eleven's hour is over now, the clock is striking Twelve.

that way you can find 10 planets a day

In my case I had over 1000X the covert power of the person in question, after wasting 15 covert recons to find out what his two planets were I gave up. I still dont know what the second planet is.
Now that is just what this suggestion will stop, as its a silly situation where someone who has 4 more covert levels than you and an infinately bigger covert power cant even find that out

Is it a pain to get every bit of info on all the planets, yes.
But your suggestion makes it WAY 2 easy.
The recon on the planets is supposed to be HARD and not easy.

In the situation I described its not a pain its just plain stupid that the situation should exist. If you are clear of someone in covert power you can see everything else without problems like this so why not planets?? It would just bring them into line with everything else.

It exists because its hard work finding out detailed info on all the planets in a system whats on them, what the fortifications are etc..
Its hard work, and well you have to take many recons to get a complete picture.

where is the hard work in clicking the spy button 20 times to find out what stat the only planet the target has is giving you.
i don't care, remember when you could see stat and sizes, but meh it should be less random and more affected by spy power (ratios?)

well for starters if you wanted to know the planet details of a 50 member alliance, you wouldn't be able to do it by yourself in 1 day...........
i think just like TAKING a planet takes time
the idea is to make it take TIME as well to get full recons of the planets

I agree with 311 here, But I will tell you a secret that has worked well for me. No guarentees tho. Every time you spy use a different number of spies. I go like this
100
98
84
97
etc
etc
I always get better results then by doing 10 spies with 100 spies each time.
