Spies and stealing Technology

Once you reach Advanced Espionage is there any reason to leave your agents deployed with that civilization?

 

Do they need to be there to steal a technology?

No, and no.

Loupdinour did a very thorough testing of espionage here.

The relevant points are that in DA/TA 2.x, civ-level spies get you espionage, whereas planetary spies steal techs (and disable buildings, obviously).

Weeeeeeeell.  I haven't delved into tech stealing too much yet, however, I think I only ever noticed techs being stolen while a spy was on a planet.  I'd only guess that the intel levels would just up the chance to steal.  Again, just a guess as I haven't touched that yet.

If you're talking about DL, then yes, pull the funding to that race.
