PVE Spy provides quick reconnaissance of PvE targets directly from Galaxy. It avoids manually building every espionage mission to a station or another supported PvE target.
What exactly does this feature do?
The action prepares espionage against the specific PvE target and uses the universe-local path. The report helps you assess defenses and prepare an appropriate fleet before a siege or another action against a system-controlled target.
How does it work in practice?
The server validates that the PvE target still exists and is valid, that required probes and a fleet slot are available, and that the mission can be sent in the current universe state. The shortcut does not create information outside the normal report system.
What does the server validate?
Use PVE Spy shortly before the planned attack because target state can change. The fresher the report, the better the basis for simulation and fleet selection.
When is it useful?
The shortcut does not bypass the rules of the normal mission. Inter-War still checks account state, available units, slots, target, costs and the limits of the active universe. If the situation changed after the button was rendered, the quick action can be rejected instead of executing stale instructions.
What should you watch out for?
Treat the feature as a faster way to submit a valid mission, not as a separate system with weaker rules. For important operations, always verify the target and parameters before clicking.
