Re: AI+Minefield/AI+Black Hole=Disaster (longish)

Re: Most useful Intelligence Projects

In my not-so-humble opinion?

1. Just Counter-Intelligence.

I know I need spaceports to transport minerals, organics and radioactives. Do I also need spaceports to "transport" research and intelligence? If so, it's news to me. And Seawolf, you said...
