Espionage costs Energy
“Ages ago we were banished by our kin, in fear and shame they turned their backs on us, closing the door. We survived on a world gone mad, by embracing the madness. Thus, shadow and silence became our allies, and they made us strong. Now the time for payment of ancient debts has come, the price will be high, and we will be paid in full.” The Forgotten – Endless Legend
This mod changes the resource cost of espionage operations from Influence to energy credits, similar to how it was upon the release of Nemesis, this includes pre FTL espionage operations.
I never felt that espionage was powerful enough to justify the price of such a valuable resource as influence, however I did not want to refrain from using the system entirely, especially with the addition of pre-FTL espionage. I had been using someone else’s mod to do this, but it was outdated and seems to have since been removed from the workshop, so I decided to make my own.
Compatibility
This mod overwrites the vanilla espionage operation files and will likely be incompatible with any other mod that alters espionage operations, mods that add new operations may not be incompatible however they will not have their costs changed to energy, I may however investigate the possibility of building more compatibility into this mod if it is brought to my attention. If you have any feedback or questions, feel free to leave them below.
