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.

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.

planets have about 200% penalty to be hit, ECM wont change a bit.

Are you certain of this?

OH yes it will. You prelaunch fighters the turn before and all fighters will be included in the stack. Or when a planet launches all fighters will be in the same stack. Some of this stuff I have been the recipient and it is frustrating to get hit with these tricks.
Tactics in SEIV can overcome a lot of Axioms you read in these forums. A lot of people say missles and fighters are useless in an end game. But when you use better tactics and little trick well some folks I know will make you regret that you ignored missles and fighters in the end game.
