The problem with with the wrong amount and abundance of resources that are being generated in the new game - is still there, though..

Perhaps the target's counter-intelligence is just very high, then. I lost 3 agents after updating (on Steam, so I assume it's not the beta?). The missions were given >90% chance of success.

As I mentioned in the tech support thread, after updating to the .5.5 release today the issue appears to be resolved.

Well, I had a 77% espionage agent get caught on a 96% success mission. Empire in question had a 74% counter intel agent.

Agents with over 100% getting caught at the same rate as well.

Just wondering if there doesn't need to be some sort of diminishing returns built into the system for both espionage and counter. You will eventually get to a point where the AI can't spy on you, nor you on them.

Yeah I can confirm that. As you can tell from my previous post, I didn't expect that the Steam version would be grabbing the beta patch, and so assumed that the problem I was having was with 1.9.5.5 proper. It's not happening now.

Bad idea to push beta patches to all users on Steam, IMO. Steam has a mechanism for opt-in beta patches, please use it.

My distant worlds copy on steam only received beta patches after I opted in. Maybe the most recent beta patch was a mistake. You definitely had to opt in when they started with the beta patches, anyway.
