Re: Intelligence idea
Yes, PPP needs two things. It needs a WARNING before the revolt. How often does a local government with plans for independence come to power without the central government even knowing about it? We need to be informed that there are political events happening on the planet where a PPP is underway. Then we can move our military forces to be able to respond. There ought to be a real change in the anger level of a planet being affected by PPP since the populaiton has to want to break away for it to work. The planetary government will just look like a bunch of fools if they declare independence while the population is still loyal.
Also, there needs to be a new sort of intel project. We need a PACIFICATION intel project that lets us reduce the anger level on our own planets. This would be useful in lots of circumstances. Especially after forcing another empire to surrender and having to get many angry or rioting planets in line. But it would also be useful in counter-acting a PPP operation. If you could spend intel on supressing a PPP directly it would make it a lot less unfair than the 'instant pop-up rebellion' that it produces now.
