Question regarding share intel. If I have it on with 2...

Question regarding share intel. If I have it on with 2 different races and they have share intel on with me, do those 2 races also see each others intel? I suspect not, but wanted to make 100% sure.

No. There was a change: Strategic Information Sharing Act of Year 0011
=> see http://planets.nu/documentation/alliances

Thanks Orthrym, must have missed the first readign of the Sharing Act of Year 0011 :)
So, they will see what I have and what I see of my enemies, but not what I see from the other races I have shared intel with.

That's not actually 100%.

You see, there tends to be some informational bleed, some items which can be seen remotely -- and to make matters even more interesting, sometimes one catches a glimpse via a player one hasn't had intel from for months.

These exceptions are, I find, on the order of 0.5% or less.

Thanks Gnerphk. Glitches, especially when it causes a break in an agreement/trust can be nasty things. I will have to take the chance on this one and hope I'm in the 99.5% case, but first, I'll converse with the other player to make sure they are okay with this. I find new things about this game almost daily, this is good to know.

I think, reading your response, that I was insufficiently specific. I mean that 0.5% of all ship or planet sightings get passed through.

Gnerphk, just to jump in here. The reason for the 0.5% is usually some sort of shared information situation that is permitted. For example you might see a ship on the far side from a player not sharing intel with you and wonder why.

A shares with B who shares with C. A sees an enemy ship from race D therefore B sees the ship from race D. Now B shares that with C because it is not one of A's ships. Technically, this is not breaking SISA (sharing of A's information). But it does give C an idea that B is seeing some interesting things.

Another common one is A arrives over an uncolonized planet and sees the information for it. This is shared with B who shares it with C because the planet is not owned by A. This was famously discovered in Thin Lizzy's Lizard Mentor game where all players were allied with him to watch his opening.

An example of thi 0.5%:

http://planets.nu/#/sector/71509 turn 90 borg player (me) can see colonial ships over p82 when borg is at war with colonial.

This is because Rebel is there with a cloaker, rebel is sharing intel only with Fascist, but Fascist is sharing intel with borg.
