No. I played as a cov opper this round. Added up my score (2.65m) and the amount of resources I've donated into the galfund (405m and counting) makes 6.7m. That's a top 20 planet worth. If those resources had been used by someone who went Totitarian, that would make 7m in total. That's a top10 planet worth. I haven't launched an attack all round. Bankhacking is hilariously overpowered.

For a cov opper, research barely matters. I went scanner first and I still had bank hacking at tick 128. I switched to core mining research after that, but if I hadn't, I could've had this new cov op by tick 183. By tick 240, I had run out of interesting things to research and started on useless stuff.
As for the op's strength, as Cat, you can do this cov op every 2 ticks, with 35 agents, permanently crippling 3.5 planets.
