I'd like to see it happen but I think it has been suggested before. What don't you understand? I think it explains it's self, we would like the ability to buy covert turns from the market or from other people.

Why not just set it up so that there is a max of how much you can send out?
eg.
if you have 500k of spies and the standard 50 covert turns, you could use a max of (500,000 [uu] x 50 [covert turns]) = 25,000,000
So you could do as many recons as you want as long as you don't exceed that total figure.
- you could do 25 million 1 spy recons
- 250 100,000 spy recons
- 100 25,000 spy recons
As in most cases we spy below us (although occasionally aim higher) we dont need to use all our spies each time.

How would you loose covert turns? Using more spies then allowed? I think it would be pointless to have turns and never use them.

maybe set it up so the only covert turns there are the ones sold by other players.
the turns you buy can't be used for sabbing only spying.
other than that its all good

I suggested this few times before (and more people did it). I also need some extra Covert Capacity sometime. I mean... are weeks I don;t use any Covert Capacity. And one day I want to raid... and I need to spy a lot. And then... I have that limit. Maybe Covert Capacity should be for week... and not for day!

Yea, i aggree, i think you should have a max of 100 covert capcity (it only gains every turn when you are below 50) cus it you could get unlimited then ppl would go on huge sabbing sprees, lol. but this would be very helpful for raiders i think, making it better for newbies to grow.

Kinda like turns... they stop generating at 4k but you can have up to 10k.
Obviously lower numbers... maybe stop generating at 50 and you can have a max of 250 or something.

maybe is time to separate covert capacity that allow to spy and covert capacity that allow to sabotage.
I think that main reason for covert capacity is to limit sabotage. But to limit spy (or to limit at 50) is not such good idea!
I agree with Hells__Angel , but also the separation I write up is necessary. (because nobody wants to get sabotage 250 times!)
