About intel in se5

Yes, they can be changed in the intelligence script. I've posted modified versions of the Intel/Event scripts that are a bit more forgiving than those in stock.

Extract these into your data folder. It's a good idea to back up the originals though.

Well these are csf files, so you can't see what is in it.
Could you post the corresponding original txt files?
But without the possibility to target a intel operation to a specific planet/ship, I will hardly use intel in my games anyway. That was the only reason I used intel in SE IV and in SE III intel was not worth the effort at all IMO.

The .txt file just contains the game code for what projects are under what category and their various effects and the appropriate references to log entries etc. It should be fairly flexible - but I don't think without hard-code changes and extra UI stuffs if you can get it to do direct user-chosen targets. I'm not sure though if I should post the uncompiled versions at this time.

I think SJ's points on the directed versus random intel were pretty valid. Perhaps in a future patch, directed projects could be added in at higher cost.
