Information gathering and Counter intel

[Rujusu]

So I have been thinking about  infomation gathering and covert intelligence.

Do we have any info about this in the game and if/how it will work?

Are you going to be able to listen in on coms or bug places and stuff like that.

But my biggest question is if/how it will work against other players.

Any iders?

Chris Roberts mentioned in the last '10 for the Chairman' video that they are currently working on in-game mechanics for intelligence and spying, such as hiding your true org. 

 

 

This is really the first time I've heard him bring it up, so there isn't much known about it as far as I'm aware. 

[Rujusu]

Yea i just watch wingmans hanger they talk alitle about it there to. Well there is still ways to go before the game goes live Im sure we will get more info before that.

[Master Clovis]

Well atm most is speculation. But Imperium and the will be prepared when the PU goes live.

[Rujusu]

Yea I am tinking about signing up. But for me it really depends on how they implement intelligence and counter intelligence.

Like they talked about "hidden" orgs and stuff like that. How will it work to counter that from a game play stand point

You need no infos if you can crash an Idris into it.

@Wyvyrias, technically you don't.  

 

BUT it doesn't hurt to know if you want to maximize the damage upon crashing(strategical crash).

Things are in place on our end, its just the ingame were not so sure about. Rest assured that things will work out ok in the end.

[Rujusu]

Yes i think so to Im just poing its going to be a fun and entertaining part of the game somehow.

I really like the consept behinde information gathering and espionage.

Although I plan to be involved in Combat Ops...I also have an interest in Intelligence and Counter-Intelligence.

I suppose that is why I chose a Bounty Hunter squadron for Combat Ops...you have to use those types of skills to be successful at Bounty Hunting.

That whole category is of interest to me...and it should be a ton of fun.

I think it would be fun to have a double role as a trader/intelligence officer. I plan on trading in other factions territory, and it would be cool to also do a little recon while i'm trading. It doesn't seem as suspicious to me if a cargo ship is going by as a little ship sitting behind an asteroid

[Terodius]

It definitely sounds like being in the IIS would be exciting and very interesting, but given the sensitivity of the data they'll be handling I doubt many people will be allowed in.

[Dragonwealth]

@Terodius I agree that the higher levels would be more exclusive. However, I just want to work as an Intel Gatherer. That's entry-level. I write reports and let my superiors know what I know/saw/heard etc. That is the level of involvement I want. And if the Intelligence Service wants to occasionally give me some trading intel I can use to make a better profit, everyone wins haha

[Terodius]

@Dragonwealth oh no that's not for me. I'm very ambitious in many aspects of life, so if I decided to join IIS I would do so with the goal of one day being an officer. Sure everybody has to start at the bottom, but it's not a place I feel comfortable staying at.

[Firestorm183]

I feel the same way; if I'm going to join the intelligence division I'll want to end up with brass on my collar.

[Gen_Crisis]

I wouldn't want lots of responsibility as I have had plenty of that in the real world.  I would rather be at the coal face getting dirty than spending all my time organising stuff and pen pushing.

I think, if they implement the mechanics right, it will be a blast to be a freelance intelligence officer. That outside guy you hire when you need to be able to disavow them if they are captured.

Like how CIA manages its operatives? or you mean more like a P.I. ?

Discretion should be your goal if you want to join the IIS, not recognition.

Just because you have power doesn't mean it has to be public knowledge.

Essentially. Like contracted field agents gathering HUMINT and MASINT for the NCS.

Discretion should be your goal if you want to join the IIS, not recognition.

Interestingly, most clandestine agents outrank their counterparts in non clandestine agencies, but some don't know what their rank was until retirement (obviously they are fringe cases, but in this case we will all want to be fringe cases).

Sorry if it came off in a way that sounded like I wanted to be a James Bond hero kind of guy. No, by me saying I would get some brass is my way of saying that I would put in the work, effort and time required to earn that brass.

@rain2reign

Time to melt stuff down for an Idris which shall summarily be christened "Ramming Speed".

[eNeRGy]

I recently picked up a Herald, so I'm very curious what I'll be able to do with those big dishes on the side

The most important intelligence stuff in mmo games is metagaming, not actual gaming
