when you have $500M on hand and your target has $1.8B your return is only $11M, that is chump change.
A beneficial spy op should not count as much against GDI as an LG.
If we want a balance perhaps 5 beneficial spy ops equal one LG.
Speaking only of basic spy, when 5SPAL is spying on 30SPAL the op will generally fail 3 or 4 times before succeeding but those lost spy costs are miniscule compared to the cost of building a high SPAL. I see why we want some randomization of results for spy ops but I believe the rule should be that if the target country SPAL is 4X the spy's SPAL then no ops succeed ever.
