Imagine there's no Talisman, it isn't hard to do

I agree that the talisman is a little overpowered, I just don't know how bad it is, really. And the religious structures provide plenty of bonus.

But I like the concept of the talisman. There was that cheezy attempt to revive the Bab 5 franchise, Legend of the Rangers. They all gathered round some artifact, shared some feelings, then locked it away as the spiritual center of the ship -- that was a cool concept.

I think the talisman should do something else. Like be a +90 % to hit, +90 % defence, maintenance reducer, whatever.

But like the Alliegence subverter, this topic has been beaten to death.
