Offense and Defense racial bonus

ECM III + Stealth Armor III + Scattering Armor III + a few turns at a ship training facility = a ship that's pretty darn hard to hit. Will compensate nicely for racial defensive penalties.

If your opponent has high attack bonuses and or Combat Sensors III, you are going to take some shots though. Hopefully the former owner used all the points he saved in attack and defense and boosted production, construction, and or maintenance. Because you are going to need big fleets and be able to build them quickly.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Are weapon platforms affected by cultural or racial offense bonuses/weakness?

I think the defense is a mute point. Planets always seem to be 100% to hit. I don't think ECM could help them here.

Offensive Bonus, Religious Talisman, Combat Sensors all work on Weapon Platforms And you can see their results on simulations.

ECMs work I think, As my ship's Quantum torpedoes missed a huge planet (!) few times.

Technically, 99%. You do on rare occasions see a ship fire at a planet and miss; I think I'd been playing SE IV for like eight months before I saw it for the first time.
