Current Patch: 3.7.05 (September 2020)
These missions have always irked me. They only spawn during wars, and very especifically include "You can help the war effort by transporting this information to our allies for us."
But they don't really help wars, or at least they didn't help in previous versions.
With this post I'll be picking a war in a no traffic system and checking it every day, doing a number of strategic data transfer missions every day. By no means an academic thing including graphs or sheets, just throwing effort in there and see if it can actually help a conflict by itself and potentially shed some light if as of now, they still don't help in conflicts. I suppose a second phase can be done with running one equal CZ for each side and running those missions to see if they would actually help IF there is a war effort being done.
Day 1 - 4 missions done, still 0-0.
