Question on espionage...

Just a quick question:

Whar r the benefits of reaching advanced and high level of espionage???

After reaching low and medium level i could see some obvious benefits like basic stats about the alien civ, but i just cant find any reasons of going any further than that...

PS: I absolutely love this game. The best strategy game i have ever played. Well done developers and beta testers for brining such an amazing product into light. :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT: :CONGRAT:

I'm probably wrong but I swear someone said that espionage on a civ offsets their destabilization of yours???

Awesome website :) JavaScout.

One more thing probably related to espionage:

For no apparent reason all my startbases and took a massive hit in HP. Same with some starships (:(

Is it because someone is destabilizing me? If yes how can I find out who it is?

I think you lost a starbase build over a military resource.
Espoinage if to get the stats from the AI, and to steal tech sometines.
With espionage you can see the effect of destabilization.
Destabilization is not immediate but it is effective.

Question: are absolutly you sure that all starbases took a hit in hp? or could it be that you noticed that your starbases were being repaired and that they weren't at full hp?

As you your military level goes up (tech, anomolies, resources) it can increase the hp of your ships and starbases. However your ships and starbases have to "heal" up to the new increased hp max.

For example: you gain a military bonus that adds 10% to hp. A starbase with a 100 hp max would go up to 110 hp max. The starbase's current hp would *still* be 100 - but would begin *repairing* (upgrading really) to the new max of 110 hp.

Hope this helps.

Ack. My prevous post was in response to -TLA-Russian's post stating:

"For no apparent reason all my startbases and took a massive hit in HP. Same with some starships"

Sorry if this was unclear.
