Default Re: Multi-player Bug! for diplomacy cheats!!!

Well while the USSR may not know how to make some of the specific high tech items the US has. I'm sure they probably have a very good graps on how many naval vessels or aircraft the US has (probably even by ship class). From both Intel sources like Satellites and tracking parts of the defense budget that are public record. But I'm sure they also do things, that don't require a high level of espionage. (E.g. have a tourist go to a nearby beach and count the ships that enter and leave port with a binocular.)

So I don't have a big problem with the level of intel supplied on the score screen. The amount ships, the size of my economy and how many planets I have. Mostly stuff I'd expect to be published in the newspaper of any society with a free press. (E.g. "NEW colony in Antares", "Galactic emperor to increase budget by 10%") It is not the sector locations of cloaked ships.

Whether against the computer or other players I don't think its a big deal to have this information accesible all the time. Given an invisible level of some kind of galactic trade by civilians or neutrels.
