The science of spying is continuously evolving. Higher levels of Espionage Tech will allow you to gather more information on your enemies before battle, and prevent them from gathering information about you.

Effects
Incoming Fleets
Your Espionage Tech level determines how much information you get about fleets attacking you. The following chart shows by level what you'll see on your home page when attacked. All effects are cumulative, so a level 8 player will see everything a level 6 player sees, plus more.
| Level | Information |
| 0-1 | That an attack is incoming and when it will reach your planet. |
| 2-3 | The number of ships approaching. |
| 4-7 | What types of ships are in the enemy fleet. |
| 8+ | How many of each type of ship are in the enemy fleet. |
Espionage Report
When scanning an enemy planet, you will get information based on your Espionage Tech level, their Espionage Tech level, and the number of Hermes Class probes in your scanning fleet. These factors determine your Espionage Number for that scan, using the following formula:
If your Espionage Tech level is greater than or equal to your opponents:
Espionage Number = (your Espionage Tech level - opponent's Espionage Tech level)2 + number of probes in the scanning fleet.
If your opponent's Espionage Tech level is greater than yours:
Espionage Number = -1*(opponents' Espionage Tech level - your Espionage Tech level)2 + number of probes in the scanning fleet.
Espionage Number
You will receive the following information based on the scan's Espionage Number:
| Number | Information |
| 0-1 | The resources on the enemy planet. |
| 2 | The fleet on the enemy planet. |
| 3-4 | The defense on the enemy planet. |
| 5-6 | The buildings on the enemy planet. |
| 7+ | The enemy's technologies and levels. |
Like incoming fleets, this information is cumulative.
Example: You have espionage level 4. The opponent you are scanning has espionage level 2, and you include 2 probes in the scanning fleet. Therefore we use the formula: (4-2)2 + 2 = 6 You will see the enemy's resources, fleet, defense, and buildings, but not their technologies.
