Are fleet/ship training facilities all that useful?

[Baron Munchausen]

Others have already pointed out that training is very useful.

I think the cleverest use for the Neural Combat Net would be to get a ship to 'Legendary' status and then convert it to some sort of support ship (Supply? Repair?) without weapons that does not actually fight. This makes it far less likely to be lost in combat. Then give it and all the fighting ships the Neural Combat Net. When the fleet goes into combat, this 'support' ship will run away into the corner but still contribute it's +50 percent experience to all the ships that actually fight. Unless your enemy is using missiles or has the Talisman this is going to be a crippling situation because you will be able to replace any losses, with full training, as fast as you can build. Your opponent cannot possibly keep up both in quantity and quality unless he also has the NCN.
