Sort of an odd question but it's one that should be known. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif If you're in a game where you have the Talisman, is there any point in taking empire attack /aggressiveness up any? Or even to leave it at 100? Why not take it clear down to 50% or whatever it will go down to. Only reason I can see for keeping it at 100% or higher is for units or some-such that will not have the Talisman and need some kind of attack % increase to hit anything. Your opinions on this are most appreciated.

It is a great risk in the early game before talismans to take 75 aggressiveness (lowest value). Also, if the talisman is knocked out but the rest of the ship is intact- a relatively common occurance- you now have essentially 0 chance to hit. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif It is all a matter of play style. Some people do not like the risks of 75 agg, some are willing to take them.

Being as you could lose the Talisman before the ship and weapons I'm not sure it's worth the 200 or so points you'd save by dropping it down to 75%.

Well you didn't say it was a full tech game to start with. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif They either plan on using lots of units, or are just silly. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Uh, I may be wrong, but I didn't think units were affected by the empire to hit chance. Maybe someoen knows? If not I can test it. I thought I read that here once.
