This is a kind of scouting, differs from conventional reconnaissance in that reconnaissance takes place in relation to the enemy fleet in space.
To send counterscouting, you need to go into space and click on the enemy fleet:
Then specify the number of Loki and send them out for reconnaissance, if the reconnaissance is successful, the fleet will fly further and reconnoiter the planet.
To prevent Loki from reaching the planet, you need to check the box "Do not reach the planet" when sending intelligence
The battle will take place at the moment when both fleets meet in space.
Counterintelligence, like any other fleet flight, can be canceled in advance and energy will be returned to youspent on refueling space ships proportional to the distance travelled.
In addition to reconnaissance, Loki can be sent as part of an attacking fleet and Loki will protect the fleet from counterintelligence, in which case bonuses from modules will work.
