Idea #7 (SGW's[LOTS of Ideas])


New Spy Abilities/Spying

Steal Naqada
Spy on Spy Log
Spy on Attack logs

Spy On Alliances- [Only if Alliance relation gets put in See idea 4] To be an effective fighter, you must know your opponent. This operation gives you added information about your target's capabilities by displaying detailed alliance information.

Assassinations- Sending your spies to kill there units ranges from untrained units to Mercenary units

Espionage-Sending your spies into opposing research labs. This operation is the only one that physically benefits you. If successful, you will capture a small portion of your opponent's technology points. They lose some you get some.

Bomb Banks-To prevent your opponents from stockpiling excess cash, you can opt to attempt to bomb their central bank and destroy a portion of their money supply and lower there money supply limit.

Demoralize- Loses Glory points and gets added to the spying guys glory points.

Deleting Spy logs- Just like how you have delete all or delete just like the messages.

Combine Spy logs- when you are spying on the same person. Every time you spy on the same person the info from your first log well be a base for the next recons, so if you get information that you didn’t get it well be added into the same person logs, but let say you get the same information twice then how does this work? Well let say you spied on person A and you found out this person has 10 Staff weapons and then you spied on him again and the next recon report says he now has 20 staff weapons well, then the 10 staff weapons on the previous log gets replaced by the new one. So 10 staff weapons well be replaced by 20.

??? Naqada- well sometime you see those and you wonder how much do they have, how about adding a Naqada on hand during recons.

I like the idea of being able to use your spies to retrieve other players attack/intelligence logs - in fact I believe it was me that suggested it - thanks for resurrecting the idea SGC!

np Wolf359

so what do you think of the other spy abilities?

I like the "Combine Spy logs" idea, because if u spy alot, u can easily get lost in all of that intelligence pages:)! Or another idea--make it like gmail did with his mail account.

The espionage thing sounds good - but what are technology points?? (Am I missing something?).

I like the combine spy logs thing, but not the delete logs - they disappear after 5 days anyway!

demoralize - not a bad idea - but a really powerful player could then stop/delay other people ascending.

Bomb banks - interesting - but there would have to be a limit as to how much of a pesons actual capacity could be destroyed.

assassination - again, I quite like this, but those high in covert could cripple everyone else.

i think that delete attack log is good as well....if you are attacking sum1 higher up the rank than u and u dont want them to retaliate you could delete thier attack log but it would say in you intelligence that you had confidential information taken or something by ????

It would be more like terrorists in space wouldn't it? Hardly a real threat without atleast some army to back it up. A really interesting power would be blamed spying, where you get cought on purpose but then blame someone else, tricking them into starting a war. (I really like Spying but spying is really useless except for killing weapons, Which is vary bland.)

yer maybe you could frame sum1 else, but to make it a bit more fair you can only frame people in your alliance(making more war, thus more fun )

i no all my ideas wont make it but i want to hear ur guys though so


as for the technology thing u gotta read the thread with Limitless Technolgy thread i amde it well explain it

Heh, you could also commit kidnapings/extortion to syphon off some of their money. As for only blaiming your allies with a faked sabatage, doesn't that defeat the whole point?

It sounds very interesting at first, but this has been suggested a few times before. The problem is that intel logs are really just snapshots. Whatever you found out before might be completely irrelevant by the time you spy again. I'd like to be sure that whatever intel I have on someone is either completely up to date or not available at all. Something that would put me off greatly is outdated intel, resulting in unnecessary losses.

Maybe this can be avoided adding a color system. One color for old intel and an other one for new intel. Or maybe italic or bold or underlined, or whatever !

i like the assination and del spy logs. the assassination would be very nice for me (very high spy very low attack) but like has been said before would send every one into a spy account and we would have a universe full of replicators. the del spy logs would be very good. you spy on some one or sab some one and get cought you could turn the user name into ???. the person still sees the log but not who sabbed them.
