Re: Counter-Intel: Let\'s finally lay this to rest... (and other intel Q\'s)

I think effect amount is a multiplier that determines how much the project counts for when conflicting with enemy missions (counter-intel versus mission).
No, the counterintel bonus is set by this line in Settings.txt:
Intelligence Defense Modifier Percent := 120
I think Effect Amount does exactly what it says. Ship Bomb does 80 points of damage, Engine Damage affects 1 ship, Fuel Leak drains 1000 supplies; etc.

We need a sequence of ship bomb operations with successively larger bombs.
By the mid game, 80 points of damage dosen't even scratch most ships...

No, which is kinda odd. Or maybe not. I guess you can assume that a space-walker sneaks up & puts a bomb on the exterior of the ship?  I would have thought that it would skip armor, though. There is 'Cargo Bomb' that does skip armor but I think it has no effect on ships without cargo space. |

Yeah, it should be affected by the level of explosives technology you have researched.

does this mean that a CI3 project only stops 3 attacks, regardless of the size?

Hmm, good point. That might mean one CI3 can only stop 3 attacks in the same turn; that could explain some of the things that have been reported in older threads that tried to sort out how intel actually worked.
