Saw experimental change on twitter
« on: May 12, 2021, 09:31:03 AM »

.....but since you said it's skill dependent, which current skill would it even involve?
Does this mean we're getting new skills?

Absolutely looking forward to it!

I'm guessing it's a new leadership 5 skill. Maybe it would allow you to take command of an ally ship without losing officer bonuses? You know, to make combat less mandatory.

I hope not. Combat already had a bad trip during the transition to 0.95, but making it available alongside the fleetwides is not the way to buff it.

I saw that tweet and i find it interesting. Would definitely fit my current playthrough in which i have 0 combat skills, 5 onslaughts and a mudskipper mk2 with operational center to pilot (which will be replaced by sexy s kite once it has 30 op)

"Neural transfer" so it might involve technology, not leadership.

I think it fits more to the leadership tree for the following reason: you have to have a REALLY good relationship with your subordinate for him to let you control his body

Combat can make you stronger than any officer since you have no cap on your elite skills, plus you'd be wasting one of your officer slots by having the officer be your skill provider. I mean, without that ability you'd encourage characters with no direct combat skills to just sit out the actual battle and get bored.
