[Q]

Originally posted by Baron Munchausen:
One possible 'mod' of the Talisman is to make it really HUGE (100kt or more) and expensive and make it an 'area' effect device rather than only the ship it's on. Do the facility combat modifers work on components? For a whole fleet? In other words, a 'portable' death shrine. That would make the 'Talisman' essentially area effect ECM/ECCM. This would let you have some advantages, but balanced with a vulnerability (if the enemy gets to that one ship and poofs it, you're advantage is gone.)

I made the suggestion to increase size and/or cost of the talisman several times but some people apparently want a change of the standard SE IV game for reasons I never really understood (which is certainly my problem). I would prefer to leave the talisman as it is.
Facility abilities as the death shrine abilities will not work on components (with few exceptions). If this could be changed it would open up huge new modding possibilities.
