Wow!
I was in impression, that Tactical Bonus drop-down sorting case for GF Commanders is an artifact.
Assigned some officers to my new StO formations, and after a year of service there half of them have significant Tactical Bonuses.
So, I think, it is not Offence, it's Tactical!
According to http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=8495.msg110196#msg110196 ground commanders don't even have a 'Tactical' bonus, but it makes weird sense that STO commanders are using naval skills for shooting at ships.I also found a ground commander that has a tactical skill without ever having commanded an STO (or anything at all). But the commander of the academy at Mars at the time may have had one.
Which Commander bonuses affect STO fire?
Offence (direct-fire), Artillery (indirect) or Anti-Aircraft?
Is there any difference in this topic when STO formation fires at orbital or ground targets?
