As per title, i have limited alpha cores, need to evaluate how to spend them. What alpha core do if i put it on a station (orbital/battle/star fortress) ?

Will it just increase the combat readiness ?

Or its like giving it a captain who has skill that greatly improve the fire power, fire range or tank better ?

It will give the station a level 7 officer with all skills elite.

It will give the station a level 7 officer with all skills elite.

Wait what, how does that work? Is it 7 random skills or always the same ones?

[Thaago]

It always gets gunnery implants iirc; I think the others are random?

Semi-random at the least. The officer does not exist until the mission spawns

Better combat readiness, which is better shield efficiency and better autotarget.  You also get a level 7 officer with nearly all combat skills.  And they're elite, too.

There's probably some secret AI-sauce somewhere in there, but having all elite skills is pretty powerful on its own.

In terms of the combat effect of 7 elite skills (plus gunnery implants? I have a vague memory now that I'm thinking again that its on TOP of 7 rather than part of them, but I could be misremembering) it is going to double or more the power of a station.
