This attack only works if you have a remote counter attack on someone.

- new attack type. Covert ops attack
   -> If you have a counter on someone, you can use the covert ops attack and destroy reserve fleets
      - does more damage the more ships in the fleet (1%-5%) of a random fleet, if fleet numbers > 100
   -> or destroy credits in mothership (random from 1%-5%)
   -> you get salvage items (20% of destroyed fleets / credits)

Cost: 50 turns, 20 CP to hire the saboteurs

Please comment  :)

I would love to use that right now!

That would be very cool would need some version of it for wars though

yes I agree it is a good idea but can we please try it out first on the test server. In this way we can make sure that it is balanced and fair for players of all power.

this souns like a fun idea, but might be alittle costly with CP, and that actually will make it impossible for lower power players

so then... this option is only available if you are countering someone?

Definitely need something similar for Wars.

i like it, but i agree with tony that it needs to be tested first

also you would never know whether somebody actually has ships in reserve..  you could just be wasting 20 cp on the attack to find out they havent reserved anything, that would need to be fixed somehow

Actually, the saboteurs will target what you specify (reserves or mothership credits). So, if they don't find the specified target, they go for something else, e.g. sabotage reserves, not found, goes for credits.

what if the player has no reserved ships, and has all credits in base?

then u should raid them..

but my point is that you cant tell either of these things by looking at rankings or anything.  unless we add something to the remote assault screen that shows if they have ships reserved, it wouldnt work very well

That is true, BUT this game is also about risk. There should always be an element of surprise.

Well, if the saboteurs don't find reserves / credits, then there's nothing to worry about is it?   :))

well you would have lost 50 turns and 20 cp, which for some people is a pretty bif loss, especially the turns

then dont take the risk..

in that case most players probably wont, at least at lower power

which is good. its supposed 2 be a risk. u dont win by not taking risks...

true true.  well then sounds like a good idea to me

yay finally we agree on something

haha i know...

Nice idea, I'm sure I mentioned covert missions on planetary attacks also so can this attack type be used on planets to destroy infrastructure like mil bases, banks or shields please?

i dont like the idea of that... i have 136 bases on my gaia and only 10% combat bonus... destroying the bases would make it way to easy to take planets..

It's not for planetary battles, the planet combat is ok for the moment.

cept for the million turns it takes

OK so when are we likely to see this implemented?

This gets implemented after the PvP both ways salvage. Shouldn't be too long now.

has the not using turns in a neb thing been implimented? cause i tried testing it and i attacked reavers and an encryptoin and moved in the galaxy and my neb way still there
