Sounds like a huge indirect malus for FACs and the like.
How can I train fighters or other parasites? I've moved a carrier full of parasites into a training command, and what I've accomplished is to go through half a million litres of fuel every day, because apparently despite being docked in the carrier the fighters want to burn their engines constantly during training.
Does anyone know if you get any "credit" diplomatically for being seen attacking an NPC's enemies by that NPC? I.e. if the United States of Alice are at war with the Confederacy of Bob, and you see them fighting and you attack Bob's ships, will the USA like you any better?
But doesn't gathering racial intel on (two) populations also give research and class design intel?I think these things are relatively rare compared to the active sensor intel, so probably what happens is that the game rolls an active sensor reveal several times in a row (not improbably so), then picks a sensor but there is only one to select.
Honestly I think ELINT needs a bit of a rework, sensor intelligence is pretty useless since you can get an accurate estimate of sensor resolution and range just from seeing the signature + doing five seconds oftyping the numbers into a calculatormath. I'd rather see the overall ELINT rate gain reduced in exchange for only 'useful' intelligence being available, like ship schematics or techs.

Thing is that I'm playing this with another person, and it's a sensor the other player designed that I keep getting the succesful intel on.
