Neural Combat Net Test

[Jubala]

I've been wondering if Neural Combat Nets is worth 30kT of space on my ships so I decided to test them. Ships with the NCN get the same experience as any other of your ships in combat even if it doesn't have the NCN itself. However, the ship with the NCN only gets an offensive bonus, not a defensive one. And it doesn't get bonus from fleet experience unless it's in a fleet with experience. Example:

Ship A no NCN 20% ship exp & 20 fleet exp.
Ship B NCN no ship exp no fleet exp

Ship A gets a total offensive and defensive bonus of 40% while Ship B gets on offensive bonus of 20% but no defensive bonus.

I wonder if the no defensive bonus is intented or if it's a bug/oversight.

Since ships with the NCN only gets offensive experience boosts I'm not sure If I want to "waste" 30kT of space on my ships by adding one. I suppose it could be useful for ships fresh off the yards to add them to a fleet with ships that's been trained up to max and send them off to face the enemy without delay.
