Is vehicle design stealing totally broken? |
I am putting my intelligence efforts towards Empire Wide espionage on a potential enemy. I am getting almost every turn an entry in the beginning of the turn a message that I have bribed their engineers to obtain the plans for some kind of craft. However I cannot find these plans anywhere... I checked the design screen and used the filter "only enemy ships" and I also tried the space simulator listing and the ships they mention ar enot showing up anywhere, in fact I dont see any ships from that empire except one of their mine designs after one of my ships ran accross it.
Is this broken?
It surprises me because there seems to be serious problems like this and AI yet the updates in the Change Logs that are posted seem like such trivial stuff....
Treaty Options
The Intelligence may be broken, however I know I do receive enemy ship designs when I have a treaty with another empire that requires sharing designs.
And I do believe..
The last game i was playing i was recieving THRU a treaty intel on enemy ship designs-
so intel stolen by other empires becomes i suppose a treaty exchange and still works.
Spaghetti....
Broken, yep
This is broken, and rather annoying. Many times I would like to know what I'm going to encounter to be able to make a counter without fighting first.
Stealing/trading system maps also seems broken. All you get is a position, when you should instead be getting at least sector information so you can see planets and warp points.
