The higher the Espionage technology level compared to your opponent, the more information you can get in report: an espionage report is complete only when you are able to see technology levels. Their ability to give detailed reports depends of your technology level. This information is enormously important to react to incoming attack in the right way.Īfter you have researched Espionage technology to level 2 you will also be able to build your own espionage drones. You see the total number of the ships with level 2, the present types of ships with level 4 and with level 8 you see exactly how many ships of which kind are approaching you. The first benefit you get from researching Espionage Technology is that you can get more information about incoming fleets – in the first instance you will only see that a fleet moves towards your planet. This research is available after you get Research Lab level 3. To use this feature, you need the Espionage Technology.

The only way to see what is there is by spying the target. You will consider going on with the attack only if resources are worth the effort and if the defense and ships can be defeated by your attacking fleet. One important thing you must check before sending the attack is to see what has your opponent in matter of resources, defense and ships. You can get those resources by attacking other planets see the next chapter Raids.

One important way to gain resources besides own mine production is by stealing them from other players.
