Intelligence and Counter-Intel question (from a newb, of course)

[Cyrien]

In fact running 10 ship bomb intels a turn has saved my butt on several occassions. Knock out key ships from invading fleets when your own fleets aren't quite upto the task. A few rounds of ship bombs can be nasty.

What I meant was there is no way to have 10 ship bombs/turn without investing some of it in CI too

If you were producing 50000 points exactly, you could execute exactly 10 ship bombs per turn with no points going anywhere else (with "divide points evenly" turned off, of course)

Also, let's say you don't invest in that CI and just let it sit. As more and more attacks are defeated by it, will the green bars gradually go down?

Precisely. If you still have some left, you will be protected, but once the green bar is gone, the enemy attacks will start succeeding.

You mean to say that if I put 50 000 points into a project that costs 5 000 it will do it 10 times over in one turn??? (not a year, a turn?) I did not know that. Or am I misunderstanding?

Sorry, I was unclear, in order for that to happen, you would have to stack 10 projects in a row. There is enough room for 12 projects. There is no way (and no reason) to put more points into a project than it is rated for. Once a project has its rated points, it executes. At that time it either succeeds or fails based on the enemy CI having enough stored points to stop it or not.

Why do people always have to mark their questions as newbie questions? Who cares if it was asked by a newbie or a veteran? It doesn't make a difference. The question gets answered in exactly the same way...
