<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">In stock game the type of scan doesn't matter so passive scan is as good as temporal scan. The best scanning component is Hyper Optics because it's easy to research. Ship and fleet training facilities are extremely important and they require Advanced Military Science 1-3, Hyper Optics require 4-6 so you get it almost for free.

As Atrocities said it's very important to train your ships and fleets even if you have talisman. It's a common mistake not to train ships when having talisman, but then the enemy hits your ships almost as well as if the had the talisman.

I will train my ships then, thanks for the advise, but I was wondering what does training actually do, in what areas and how does it improve the ships?

Re: religious talisman and attack rating
 

Ship training gives your ships better chance to hit enemy and better chance that your opponent will miss your ships. I dont know exacly what fleet training gives.

Listen to Asmala, he is KOTH at the moment and that says a lot. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: religious talisman and attack rating
 

The training facilities add experience to the ships and fleet, whit gives a direct bonus to direct fire attacks and defense against direct fire attacks. So the defence bonus is good even if you have the talisman.

Combat sensors with the talisman is a new one for me, I don't think it's needed in that case.

Someone else broke it down more fully over here: {click}

The only reason to have combat sensors with the Talisman is in case it is destroyed in combat. But most times if the Taliman is destroyed the rest of the ship will soon follow, so you're better off saving the space.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Umm... I would not advise always having multiples of those components. That is removing a shield generator or a weapon, which will likely end up being a more powerful design than having backups.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Fleet training does exactly the same thing, and it adds linearly to ship training (as well as all other combat bonuses).

I think he meant multiplex tracking. But I can see where that might need clarification http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Hi

I was wondering if I only have direct fire weapons and the religious talisman, do I not need to have any sensors or attack enhancers?

thanks
