Is the intelligence in SE(?) ok?

All of them

I think, the problem is intel is black or white. Either it is totally wasted money and utterly useless, because your target has developed counterintel some gazillion years ago and happily has kept storing these otherwise unusable intel points into triple-effective counterintel since then. Or you manage to succeed, and because of exhausted counterintel from there on continually, where nearly every combination of intel projects has the ability to destroy the targetted empire more effective than large fleets of huge warships.

A totally different design, which I admit am too tired to think about now, would be needed most - then even the current projects may become balanced and useful.
