I think the high cov levelers are already having fun with peoples stats. Adding more would just slowly kill off any need for strategy (hah as if there is any when it comes to choosing between sabbing and massing).

If anything, make the number go down as the covert level goes up.

Like this: 100 at lvl 0. 70 at lvl 30, 60 at 40, etc. (Or make it cost more when the difference between covert levels is bigger; if that were in place, increasing the CTs might be interesting.)

Valid idea indeed.
Raising the amount of covert turns people get would be a silly idea, If you increased it that might as well go back to spy reports costing a covert turn as well to try and level it out a bit combined with Juliettes above idea (makes things even more harder).

Covert had to get tweaked after updates were released a while ago because people we able to sab to easy, Adding extra covert turns would allow those with high lvls to cause more damage then need be.

of course you would oppose lol, all snipers do. ;) and so what about the lvl and power... anyone can get there! you are going to tell me that someone playing for 7 years or longer and/or someone that spent $1000's to build up should not have an advantage over new people or snipers?... makes it more fair in my eyes... snipers dont build stats, they just build a big attack and go crazy, then untrain them all. you cant combat that if your out of coverts and its just dirty tactics...

Increase!

Actually it doesn't deter "sniping" it promotes it ;)

maybe just make them an option in market or something, then everyone can do their own thing. i for one need more coverts. and you cant use covert turns to snipe lol that would require you building more stuff and snipers dont do that... if they did then at least they would have to expose themselves while trying.

Don't you already have an advantage over new accounts with higher covert levels?

I would have thought more covert turns would just mean everybody spending all day sabbing and not much else, I also think it would promote more sniping, simple because you can see incoming sabs in alliance logs, so unless its you being sabbed, or you happen to be watching the sabber, snipers would build, sab, untrain more and more.

i see both ways, i just wanted more for sabbing and sniper def. defending a defence all day just to run out of coverts and a sniper runs through gets old fast... the one that deserved it the least...

I have a defence and have been rebuilding them for the last two weeks you lot just dont bother looking (ask Ricos and Mayhem they have been playing with them).

What I'm saying is if people have 200 covert turns it will be abused. Massing will go to sabbing. At the moment having 100 covert turns forces people to be picky with whom they want to sab, If you waste your time sabbing a 5tril defence and then wish to take down a 2tril strike on another account and cant afford it for a few hours then to bad.

Choices are what makes this game interesting.
