Re: Is there a listing of successful ship designs?
 

Here's a related question: Do Religious Talismans affect the hit probabilities of PDC?

IOW, do PDC count as "direct fire weapons? for purposes of the Religious Talisman's effect? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Yes, both combat sensors and talismans affect the to-hit chances of PDC. So does ship and fleet training, and they all (mathematically incorrectly) ADD together, making a potentially overpoweringly high to-hit mod, at least against fighters at range 1-5 (PDC range).

I guess I could test this in a simulator.
I infer from this thread:
1) Fighters get a large defense bonus
2) Combat Sensors improve PDC

Is this correct?
