He's serious, it is a good question.

I myself don't know the answer, and I don't know if anyone does!

I am serious. It is a good question. The report needs to be more clear as to what the AI has actually done. Have they taken the tech, or are they just aware of the fact that you have the tech. It is a good question.

I believe it means they are aware of a tech level or more that you are at. When you encounter a species (AI or human) it only gives you a guess of their tech until observed or stolen. In this case yours was stolen. On the other hand I think all intel is crap. SJ (IIRC) has the perfect pic to sum up my opinion of intel.

Now how do I cue SJ to drop the pic in here for me?

Ya; that's the one.

Technology reports are not the same as stealing specific techs. If they do steal a specific technology, you'll get a message concerning which one was stolen. At least that's what I can see from the Intelligence Text files.

Quote:

Intel Message 48 Title := Technology Stolen
Intel Message 48 Text := Spies have stolen the technology of [%TechName%] from us, sire.
Intel Message 68 Title := Reports Stolen
Intel Message 68 Text := Technology reports have been stolen by enemy nations, sire.

That's right Raapys. They don't have the tech you have; that they stole that is. They now know what tech you are at in whatever area was randomly stolen.
