I very much love this sentiment, I find too often that intelligence agencies do less intelligence gathering, and more hungering for war due to their powerful ID, which is that powerful to begin with to allow them to do intelligence gathering in extreme places. I don't pay much attention to the BIS, but I see more roleplay from them than I see massive fleets for a single pirate, so I guess they're doing it right. The two worst examples of this are the current LSF and whatever the Gallic intelligence agency faction was prior to the end of the gallic war, which acted more like specially trained military assets that could take on anything rather than gathering intelligence in silent operations and reporting back to the bulk of their forces.
Now I memed with an intelligence ID a couple of times cause I wasn't the best example of a player when I first returned about a year or so ago now, but I wasn't an official and or organized faction of any kind, which lolwuttery is certainly not expected from.
