I agree. Intel just doesn't seem like a good area to introduce randomness. By making the Intel missions random, it actually sucks all the strategy out of it. In SEIV, if I know of a (enemy)ship that is heading to an area where I really don't want it to be, I can bomb it, or do any number of other fun/nasty things to it through intel. In SEV all I can do is switch to Espionage-Ship, and just hope that something eventually happens to the ship. Unless Intel is changed(or modded to be like, or better than, SEIV) I think I'll just stick to Intel-Defense and completely ignore the rest.
