The question I'd really like answered is this "Is intelligence actaully usefull?" I'm aware that it can be really nasty early on if the other guy has no defense but by about turn 100 it seems projects always fail. in a PBW game i've got about twice as many intel points than the second guy and all my projects fail. even against the guy with 0 intel productions (although he may have some in storage before his intel producing planets got glassed) I've been doing most of my intel against one player who has about a 3rd of the intel points I have for the Last 10 turns, They all fail.
