Spy Ship

Spy Ships gain research points by copying research from the other race: It's important how much intelligence points you own empire is creating each turn and how many the attacked races creates as well. Depending on this ratio you will have success or will fail.

• The copied research is a part of the whole research of the attacked race, not just of the attacked system. (This is special to Spy Ships)

• As part of Intel Ships you can camouflage spy ships to hardly be detected by other races
• Intel Ships don't take part on ship combats.

Normally use it this way:

• build a spy ship
• camouflage it
• send it to another system
• give Infiltrate Order
• hopefully get research points each turn. If not (successful), you may have to increase your own intelligence, e.g. by building more intelligence facilities.
