Intelligence and Counter-Intel question (from a newb, of course)

[Zoupa]

Well, that's the thing. I dont realy know how to manage my Intel points I usually research CI lvl 3 then let it accumulate for a while before going on the offensive. The thing is, if you have a high number of intel points coming in each turn and you dont want to complete that level 3 CI, you have to not spread your points around. That limits you to high level espionnage missions (if you spread them, eventually your CI will complete). I dont think there is a way to have 10 ship bombs a turn, is there?

Also, is there a way to tell, apart from the little green bars, how far along a project is in number of points, whether it be Intel or research?
That would really be helpful IMHO.

And thanks for the quick responses guys. I'm at work now and cant wait to get home to play
