Intel should not do things like destroying planets...

In a day an age where a race has the ability to destroy stars and planets, why should it not then have the ability to use covert action to destroy an enemies world. A weapon of ultimate mass destruction. This is where you will seriously want some counter intel to prevent it from happening to one of your worlds.

I do not think this is a concern, the UN has proved itself sterile.

I do not bow to the childish whims of patetic planets who think they can control my destiny!

I was posting from a balance perspective. Being able to use intel to destroy planets whole-sale will create a much worse situation than the ummodded SE4 intel system.

I know what you were posting, I was just being demigodic about it.

I agree, that it would be a balance issue, but no more than any other catostophic event.

Make the cost of the project very expensive, and the requirements the same. If you set up a game that does not allow stellar manipulation, then the project would not work. IE its availablity is directly tighed into stellar manipulation.

No stellar Manipulation, no Doomsday Intel Project.

You can not in any way shape or form compare events to intel projects. Intel projects from a single empire can destroy up to 12 planets in a single turn (though more likely 11 or fewer, as the attacker will need at least 1 CI), and then 12 planets in each subsequent turn, turn after turn. Events could never do that. I think there is a limit of 1 event per turn.

Also, more expensive means harder to defend against as well. So, those planet busters become even more of a problem if you make them really expensive.
