Broken Intel?

With Counter Intel II you only have to defend with half the points your opponent is using to attack. If you have enough resources to overwhelm the enemy with Intel you could most likely overwhelm them with ships.

Good point! And at Counter-Intel III (unmodified racial characteristic set at 100%)it is worse at 3.6 times protection.

But is that what Fyron means when he claims it is broke?

I am wondering if he is referring to something more fundamental?
