Well, I don't intend to "exploit" the CI bug, but it's kind of hard to avoid if one starts firing off lots of offensive covert operations. My plan is to shift to intelligence sabotage instead of counterintelligence if the game actually does turn ugly, and hope that that balances better.
(at this point I'm still not sure whether it's all going to fall apart into full-scale war or whether it's all just misunderstanding and mistrust that can yet be rectified. Phoenix doesn't seem overly xenophobic towards me, after all, though perhaps the Certadsh simply consider machine intelligences to be more trustworthy and inherently peaceful than organics. From my perspective attempting to mediate this dispute I can see how one might think that way.
