Which is quite unfortunate. FQM fixes this short-sightedness.

Hopefully, in SEV there'll be more unique ruins techs which are superior to the regular technologies?

One cool idea would be to Ruins to give weak versions of Racial Techs...

There is any mod that does this?

As a matter of fact there is! My Dark Nova 4 mod has several of these. I've also expanded the tech trees for all unique techs so that you get a minimum of 3 levels of research out of each tech. IIRC the 'stock' unique techs have 5 levels and all the racial types have 3... All together I belive I've got 94 possible unique components/facilites. I've also got some ideas to add more to this. Which I think I'll do before the next DN4 game starts on PBW, which will be shortly as the game itself is on PBW now Dark Nova 4 II.

There is a Unique Techs mod floating about for SE4 Classic that adds a bunch of ruins techs, some of which are weaker versions of racial items.

Ok, so the Neural Combat Net isn't completely useless, but it's far from as useful as it would be if it worked as advertised.

Well the 30k component size is at least considerable on big ships now :| I got that even which boosts a ship to legendary status (40%), so i can at least get big parts of my ships another 20% more offense (comparing the trained to 20% with the shared 40%).

thanks a bunch for testing that.

Yikes! So, basically, I have to use the Fleet Transfer screen to find out which ships have a lower ID (lower listed before higher, right?) then strategically retrofit and/or select ships for the given fleet.

[re-asking] Do the ships all have to be in the same fleet for the NCN to work? By the description, this is not addressed, and it is possible to have combat with multiple lone ships and/or fleets on your side.

Retrofitting does not change ID. This is just one of the many things I tested concerning ship ID back when I discovered it.

Thank you, Q, I hadn't thought of that particular possibility for why we were getting conflicting reports.

Edit: A quick test with your .gam file shows that it seems to work as you stated for the offensive bonus of experience, but the defensive bonus isn't shared at all.
