Covert Ops - Havoc

[TheShadowMan]

Anyone enjoy blowing up peoples structures?

I was wondering does value come into the formula? I ve taken out about 12 structs off one planet in the last 48 hrs. All his ship factories(including one rebuilt), some mine factories, and some finance centres.

Does anyone know if ships in production finsh if you blowup a ship factory until you rebuild or do they finish?

I have yet to kill any amps/distorters, what xp gain, if any, do i get for doing cov ops?

Being a cath i have found cov ops quite amusing to while away the last few days of the round.


Cheers

Only to irritate others most people enjoy resource transfers more.

Where? the covert op forumla is given in the manual, and that's not related to value. The only thing (as far as I know) related to value is resource transfers, where that affects the % of resources you steal.

Once ordered, ship orders can only be stopped by that "cancel" link.

You get more XP the harder the covert op (and I assume the more agents you get through)
tbh, I wouldn't be surprised if it was something like:
number_of_agents*covert_op_hardness (where the hardness is 1-7, database hacking- havoc respectively).
However, only someone with access to the code (Kal / Kloopy / etc) can say for sure, if they're willing to give out the formula.

Cheers for the info, just figured out how to do a proper res steal!

wow it rocks!!!

stole 45k of each res for 6 agents. Cool!

Yes, the amount stolen per agent I worked out from someone's covert op is something like 1.5-2k*theirvalue/your value capped at 7.5k per agent (it's actually around 2k, iirc)
