covert ops

I love running 'Hacking: Resource Transfers' covert ops...I'm getting something out of the op, instead of *just* destroying something. Recently, I used 10 agents, and got *58k* of each resource

Not to mention that covert ops are like 'fishnet stockings' for XP wh0res.

2 * [covert op level + (# of agents/10)]

So 10 agents trying to steal resources is- 2 * [6+1], or 14 XP, or 840 score points.

Remember to always use an odd number of agents (since PA uses integer division).

Re: covert ops

Smart.

Covop people at double your value if possible for maximum effect (probably not limited to resource transfer), and do it if htey have at least 75k * num agents ur sending so you can steal the max 10% !

Re: covert ops

Shane, thanks.
Of course, I planetscan potential targets. And I have realized that higher target value = higher amount stolen. But I never quite looked at it in the way that you did.
