ECM on your weapons platforms? Isn't that a bit like painting sheep green so the wolves can't find them?

I see your point and raise you one. Your command fighter, satillite, or weapons platform will have room to spare. In SEIV there are so many good players that kicking, clawing, and scratching for any legal advantge is worth while. In 'Last Man Standing' ask the Spirit of space and the La Veins Empires if running up against these stacks is any fun. 2 turns ago Spirit lost several ships to talisman armed satillites. Something like 50 Battle Cruisers.
Hidden fact:
building a planet creator ship is cheaper than a warp opening ship and faster. Then it takes one turn to upgrade to a warp opener. Shaving several turns off building a warp opener ship.

Re: Hidden facts of SE IV

The 'command Fighter' concept won't work, as Fighters will only stack with like Fighters in combat, so only other 'command' Fighters will get the bonus from a Fighter with Talisman, ECM, or Combat Sensors.

Okay, so with both 30% armors this cranks down to a 70% bonus for the attacking ships. And that means, assuming the assaulting ships don't have any combat bonus of their own, that their chance to hit does not drop from 100% until they get eight squares away from the planet. Is this correct?
