Mod Details

This mod changes
Spy experience perks from +25/+50 to +50/+100
Spy Mission risk from -10/-20 to -25/-50
Empire Security -10/+10/+20 to -25/+25/+50

All things being equal, races still have the same standing with espionage.
That is to say, a race with +50 security still defends against a race with -50% risk etc…

However,
5X balanced perk point costs so that all races could be made with the standard perk points.
So I did not alter or try to rebalance the entire perks list to match the espionage changes.

This leaves things “broken”.
That is to say, who wouldn’t select +25% spy experience or etc.. for just 1 point?

That is not the agenda to this mod.
Its purpose is that, again, if all things are left how they are,
Espionage is just made to be a much more viable mode of attack,
and much more potent threat to consider.
