Does Super Spy Command work? Do you need to have exactly 5 ships (or more) with FC of NTP to make it work? I had 3 ships at the planet 3 turns ago. Then I added another ship 2 turns ago. And I brought in another this turn. So I have 5 ships with superspy mission and a FC of NTP set. Can I actually attack the planet now?

You need 5 ships for a 100% chance of it working, 4 for 80%, etc.

Superspy Deluxe occurs before movement, so the ships need to be in orbit at the beginning of the turn that you attack.

Only one of the ships actually needs to use the Superspy mission. The others can do useful things like tow and minesweep.

The ntp fcode is only needed on the Superspying ship. Don't put the ntp fcode on a ship that is not Superspying, because force surrender occurs after Superspy Deluxe.

5 ships in orbit with Super Spy - NTP and drive in with Dark Wing. If you have command -advantage enabled the fighters will not launch.

And like Robodoc said, less ships performing Super Spy the odds for getting a NTP-FC on the planet decrease.

... finally masses of Swift Hearts have some real use.
