Espionage percentage - What does it do?

from GalCiv2 Forums
What exactly is the use of the espionage rating (the one that can be influenced by certain techs like counter-espionage or by choosing the Krynn)?
Where is it used for which calculation?

Does it lower spy costs (not that I know, of yet)?
Does it increase chances to steal tech (can't test that)?
Does it increase the rate at which you gain knowledge about other civs (can't test that either, properly)?

If anyone out there in this universe of GC2-lovers knows something about that, I would be very grateful if he taught me.

Thanks in advance,
Notger.

Good questions. I've wondered the same myself. I had read somewhere that your espionage percentage improves HOW MUCH YOU CAN SPEND on spies...and nothing more! If that's true, then this ability really is not that good.

However, I do not know where this info came from or if it is in fact correct.

Can anyone out there confirm this?

Sorry i can't completly confirm this, but i do THINK that is the case. So, yea, its kind of a stinky ability. A waste when your survey ship finds those +1 to espinonage.
