Intelligence problems

I agree totally. Order Snafu does nothing except make you find that ship and reset its orders. It would be much better if you were not notified at all, so for you to figure out, you either had to check orders every single turn, or wait till you see one of your brand spanking new dreadnoughts heading for the center of a black hole.
And with Crew Insurrection, it definitely needs a change. Maybe 40%/60% success rate so that it does not always work. Why must every single crew revolt? Can't some of them stay loyal? I think it should also depend on ship class. For instance, the crew of an escort is much less numerous than the crew of a dreadnought, so it should be easier to convert the entire crew in the escort. The dreadnought crew would be able to resist more since its much less probable that all the crew would revolt. I think that there should also be a small percentage where the ship is neither captured nor stays loyal, but instead it is self destructed (if it has the component) by the loyalists who could not hope to subdue the majority of the crew who wanted to revolt.
