Talisman + Neural Interface

[Fyron]

Neural Combat Net only causes ship experience to be shared. It does not share any other combat bonuses, including the Talisman.

<sigh>

I was afraid of that. I knew that a stack of units is treated in the engine as a single item, but had hoped ....

Nuts, this is not going to be pretty. Still, I have accuracy III and fleet/ship training in progress. His'll still shoot better, but I think I'm one or two ship classes ahead of him. After all, my research points did not go to pursue the Talisman like he did.

Also, we've both it past the Polaron beam window, but I think I'm also 1 or 2 phased shield levels ahead, and the same with PPBs.

(Missiles and fighters are out, as we've both got AA IV or V)

I better press, though. Time does not look to be on my side anymore.

From the "Known Bugs" list:

"29. Neural Combat Nets don't work. It's not just a display bug, either. I had two identical ships each with neural combat nets, one with 0% experience and the other with 50% experience, fight one very heavily shielded dreadnought. Almost all shooting happened at point blank range, where the base chance to hit in my test game was 25%. The hit rates for the two ships over the many combat turns required to bring down the dreadnoughts shields were well within reasonable random error of 25% for one and 75% for the other. I tested this in both sequential and simultaneous movement, using tactical combat for sequential movement."

Nueral intefaces don't work?. I'm in a game where I gave every ship an interface and now I learn it was a waste of time

I can't remember who ran that test, but I was wondering if the two ships were part of the same fleet- or if it was just two ships in the same sector?
