Does anyone use spies in Crusade?

from GalCiv3 Forums

Reason why I ask cause I've been using them lately, and the most my spies have been able to achieve is surveillance and steal tech from enemy. One of my spies reached level 6 and yet I still have only 1 promotion type, I also have spies disabling buildings but I heard that they can also kill citizens or blow buildings up? Are those through promotions or random?

I am, cause bloody AI sometime dogpile their spies on me and left me no choice but send my own to suicide to get rid of them.

The only promotions I got from spies is infiltration , how do you open up the other actions???

I use them all the time but so far only to steal techs.  Haven't figured anything else out yet

Same, but I have a theory. I tend to go pragmatic most of the time, perhaps you only get infiltrate to steal tech. Maybe if I go malevolent, promotions like destroy or assassinate show up? Can anyone confirm?

And if you go benevolent, you can hit their approval with feeding misinformation or something.

I hate espionage, I'm sick of working my ass off to get the techs I want for the AI to just steal them.
