3) If you "finish" a counter-intelligence project (i.e., spend all
100,000 points or whatever the cost is), without having to block an
intel project (either because no-one's using intel against you or
because they haven't completed the project yet), the counter-intel
project "fails".
---------------------------------------------
I for my part still think this is a bad thing. I guess the root cause for this is that normal research or offensive intel projects are completed, and the module for CI has just been "copied". But it makes absolutely no sense IMHO.

So how about some simple methods of getting around it?

1) When adding points to Intel ops, check if this op is actually a CI, and if the amount budgeted will complete the project.
If so, then pass along the points to the next project in the queue. If the end of the queue has been reached, the points are lost.

1b) If adding intel points to a CI project will cause it to be completed, set the project to its total cost minus ONE point.
Any excess is lost.
(Players will have to manually rotate CI projects to the front of the queue, AND/OR use "divide points evenly")

I'd still like to know what happens (post patch) if you have a half-finished CI project, stop adding points to it, and get hit by an intel offensive. Will the CI project work or not?

It is really great to read about all the stuff that is being squashed etc. But, does anyone know when the patch is likely to be finished? Any sort of heads up on WHEN we are likely to see something would be greatly appreciated. Once again, the only thing on this subject is the old update on the Malfador web page talking about a September release.

Have any of you considered buying a new copy once the second burn is availible?

Possibly, but it would basically be more of a "contribution" as such to MM. I have gotten more out of the $40+ I spent for SE4 Last November than I have out of any game I have bought since my first game purchase in the 70s. . .
