Covert Op: Bugged or what?

[SeeN]

My planet has far over the 13% security centers needed for 35% alert level bonus AND has Security as priority 1.

Still I get ripped 5-10 times a day, loosing loads of ressources almost every time, and not intercepting agents a single time!

Because of the limited production que I cant use ressources as soon as I get them, so all I can do is sit and watch my ressources disappear.

Something should really be done to the covert op calc, this cant be right!

Not exactly the first time this has been brought up..(more like the gazillionth)..save your steam until the suggestions-forum open up instead maybe.

[SeeN]

Oh....
So many threads, so little time...

Asked this question at CH and I know of at least 3 others who did the same, but the guy in charge of asking questions found it more important to post questions with lousy jokes instead of questions who actually regarded game play.

His choice I guess....

[dabult]

Probably cause the suggestionforum will be opened soon..or hopefully atleast :|

Is it too early to say: 'Everything will be fixed in R11!'?

Put your production on priority one, and you can order ships virtually every tick

I dont see a r11 tbh.
Atm there is lots of power and lots of "things will improve" statements. in the end its down to how many ppl still believe in those predictions after 11 rounds of spinnerisms (-;
My prediction is if there is a r11 and if its p2p around 10 euro - the playerbase will be 1k.
Ppl got too often ****ed over by pa to fall for the "trick" again and most alliances already feel the strain of loseing members for good. Take virus and other alliances just calling it a day and most of their members leaving into rl. PD is halfly filled with "i quit" threads nowadays so i dont see a change there aswell, especially if now a complete workaround starts for a totally different r11 it has only 1 month deadline and 1 month downtime to happen. Because if the game is down longer between r10 and a possible r11 noone will come back as ppl found other projects / games to waste their freetime on. Especially freegames - hint ********. Atleast there you can say "atleast i didnt pay" if your planet goes kawoom ;o)

I'm zik and used to have security as 2nd/3rd priority, now I just have production as 3rd and I make ships in 7 ticks so mostly I spend up and at worst have 2 ticks of cash briefly.

Stealing with upto 10 agents almost always works regardless of what you do so long as you only get hit once a tick. Get hit more often and your alert level go up and those covert ops start failing.

Security precautions basically stop the bigger stuff. 30 agents to kill an amp & deflector or 40 to zap a building are almost impossible with decent security settings. It looks like the intent is to stop this kindof ting more than petty theft.

Where I think it all went wrong is that potentially you can steal too much (it should be capped at 5-10x instead of 1 agent being able to steal hundreds of K) and actually the bigger stuff should be easier and more effective. 20 agents for 1 roid is stupid but if it was even say .5% (1/200 so 10-15 for the top ppl atm) it would be useful but difficult.
