I haven't been playing much lately, so maybe others can help more. For myself, I don't get much radio intel.

In my recent career, a radio message advised units near a certain place to attempt to intercept, as major fleet units were expected to be there at a certain time. I was far away, so didn't even think about it.

In an earlier career, a message said a force was expected to transit a certain area in a couple days. It was fairly close, so I got there in plenty of time, but never saw any ships. That is usually how it is for me; you get a tip that there might be enemy units moving through a certain area in the next couple days. It is vague, and uncertain; not the sort of thing you can make detailed plans about.

All this might be different with TMO, or other mods. In SHCE, one was bombarded with innumerable contact reports; many more than you could ever pursue. They carried it to a ridiculous degree. Personally, I expect very few, and like it that way. Imo, if you get one legit contact report in a patrol, you're ahead of the game.
