Default Re: Intel Comms Mimic Question

Comm mimic is extremely powerful, and yours isn't the only game PBW it's decided.

It made a huge difference in the Paranoia game, and who could forget the tale of the alliance which was destroyed when Comm Mimic removed the trade between two partners, causing a maintenance chain-reaction. The afflicted partner tried the "fire on ship" order to eliminate many of their ships (I'm not sure if they were too far from shipyards to mothball, or if the player didn't think of it), which backfired and caused most of their planets to revolt (upset at all the lost ships!), which sent them into a real resource disaster.
