Ok, I just tested it, and there seems to have been a change to CI that no one was aware of in the Last patch (or at least I wasn't).

It does indeed work if no points are being put into it in a turn.

Well, for those that have played this game for a while, "WHAT A NICE SUPPRISE" for you.

I can just hear Fyron saying..... "ok u twits, your in trouble now!". lol

Why is such an important change not mentioned in the history.txt file????

Fyron · #4 January 18th, 2003, 08:54 AM

I don't know, and that is what confused me.

Great job! I confirmed the same with similar testing. I will summarize the important parts of this discussion and add to the FAQ.

Provided the target race can NOT stop the attack.

I am going to try and steal some technology. Now I know that there is still a chance of failure beyond the CI measures. My question is,

Is the chance of failure greater if I choose a specific tech, as opposed to selecting "any tech" and taking whatever I might get?

Same question would apply to a specific ship VS any ship, ect...
