I'm sure that explains it. In this game I've just lucked out with sooo many green + planets and I'm going ape.

Sounds like I need to build some more storage areas for my surpluses.I'm going to be needing them for a looong war!

Thanks Fyron

I "think" I know what you are trying to say. Here is my interpretation.

For each 1000 put into intel,

If put into CI1, then 1000 x 120% = 1,200
If put into CI2, then 1000 x 220% = 2,200
If put into CI3, then 1000 x 320% = 3,200

But the chances are good, I didn't get it right.

Almost:

1000 x 120% (defense bonus) = 1200
CI1: 1200 x 1 = 1200
CI2: 1200 x 2 = 2400
CI3: 1200 x 3 = 3600

Thanks S.J.

It is compounded!

[Fyron]

I did sort of imply that it was compounded.

You all will be happy to know I've been following your guidelines and suggestions about using Intelligence. So far I've managed to "capture" a couple of colony ships and their escorts and colonize planets in the enemies systems! As well as learning all I can about their empires and stopping them from doing me any damage. It's great!Even casued a couple of planets to break away from their empire.

I also found out the enemy is using psycic weapons to capture my ships. I've countered with researching and building computer only ships. They're just now reaching the front lines. I assume the AI will counter with computer virus but maybe by that time I'll have whittled him down quite a bit.

When building a ship:is the more sensors,ecm etc the better? In other words do they add up or is just one all you need?
