Reply to Tips for spies in DA in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I also think when you catch (Nulify) a spy, there should be a chance to find out where he came from. This should be based on your level of knowledge of the enemy civilization.

On the other hand, if skipping small ships is prudent, then I guess I would just emphasize getting to medium hulls sooner. I guess later I would like to know what your

For example, my earliest ships will be called the Robin class, made from a Small hull with Miniturization tech II or better. Initially they will be used for planet defense and later they will be sent as attacking units against enemy planets. These will have a maximum maintenance cost of $5. The sec
