Thanks, that explains the diplomacy relations experience, i already assumed something like this.
Regarding espionage, however, i still believe, it is not yet fully implemented:
"Detailled information has been obtained (200IP) about the Active Search Sensor AS20-R5, from the United Nations of Earth. This sensor is known to us as the AS #13. "
I get events like this, but the race overview or my technology does not show it.
