WELL, thats was fracking stupid! as stated, I KNOW this race has tech I can use. I had this information BEFORE sending in the operatives. WHY would they try and steal tech from chemistry, when intel shows they have 2 levels above me in sensors.

Considering the COST of this intel attack, I hope this BS is addressed. A steal tech action that gets through CI measures, and is sucessfull beyond the chance of failure for the action, it should be sucessfull in an area that advanced tech is available. NOT some area the other race is behind in. This makes the attemt of tech stealing completly useless. I can discover the damn tech faster than it would take for a sucessfull intel attackt to get it. The cost of the attack and the chance of failure after that, are quite enough hurdles to overcome. Surpassing those two, should reward you (the player) with a @*^%#$@!# tech.

And as a side note, selecting "any tech" should have an even greater chance (talking about the second hurdle) than a specific area. the operative hackers just perusing the data files would find a new tech easier than having to look for a specific tech. it makes more sence, and it provides game enjoyment. the way this Last one went was BS IMNSHO.
