Does the AI use intel very well?

BTW - there's a setting in "settings.txt" that implies there's a bonus for counter-intel points. Something like 100 counter-intel points will negate 125 intel points. Don't know if it's really working or not.

Also, I've noticed that not all projects have an effect. I've gotten a few Messages about ship bombs damaging a particular ship, but I can't find any damage on the ship that got bombed. I'd send it to MM, but I'm kinda happy about not finding damage

That is because the damage is not high enough to destroy that particular component.

Thanks daynarr - that's kinda what I expected; although it must be a pretty low-powered ship bomb, considering the components on the ships it was supposed to damage (I think the biggest component was 50kT).

Hmm, I am not sure, but I think that intel operation does 80 points of damage. Perhaps the shields took the damage.

It has been my opinion that it varies upon use. Sometimes it does utalize the intel very well, while other times, it does not.
