Counter-Intelligence Ineffective?

Hmmmm

Consensus seems to be that if you have enough CI points, it will stop all intel attacks including Intel Sabotage.

I had enough CI points.

Conclusion, the Intel Sabotage didn't occur.

So, that new empty slot really isn't there. I must be imagining it!

Well we can't really tell you what happened without actually seeing your savegame, so our answers are all guesses.

Okay, Tbontob, lets see if I have this straight.

You had and still have several CI projects operating.
You received and intel sabotage attack which deleted a crew insurrection under contruction.

If this is true, then CI appears to have no effect against intel sabotage!

tbontob,

It's kind of important to tell us if you have filled buckets of CI or not...

or were they depleted and you had to start new ones?

Yes it does. I have seen plenty of Intel Sabotage missions blocked by CI.

Yes, I did have more than enough to stop all intel.

Looking at everything closely, I now think that I may have had a intel project that executed and was stopped by their intel.

But I can't say this for sure.

I do remember playing with various intel scenarios including such a project but thought I didn't when I submitted the turn.

Unfortunately comparing the turns does not give me an answer.

I think you guys had it right when you said CI will stop all intel. And that includes sabotague intel.

What prompted this thread was the concern that there may be other changes (like not having to contribute to CI on every turn) of which we were not informed.

Right now, my feeling is that CI intel stops all intel as you guys have suggested.

Here is a question:

Does a single CI project counter one and only one intel project per turn? In a current game I am using intel heavily and based on my success and failure rate this is what I suspect might be happening.
