Espionage Technology

Espionage Technology
With Espionage Technology, the level of your technology to that of your target is critical. If your target has a higher level of Espionage Technology than you, you will need to launch more probes to gather all the information on your target. However this runs the great risk of detection by your target, resulting in the probes destruction. However, launching too few probes will result in missing information that is most critical, which could result in the total destruction of your fleet if an attack is launched. At certain levels of Espionage Technology research, new attack warning systems are installed: At Level 2, you can see there is an incoming fleet, and where it is launched from. At Level 5, the type of attacking ships and total ship count are displayed. At Level 10, the exact number of each type of ship launched is displayed.
