Talk:Searchlight/@comment-25938809-20150913080958

For the record, is it a good idea to equip this on flagship or not? I always thought it was, but reading through some of the event comments made me think otherwise. Some said that even if the flagship uses the searchlight, any ship below it still has a good chance of being targeted due to "flagship protection" mechanic lowering the chances of the enemy aiming at the flag as intended.

I'm not sure what to believe as I've had good experiences with the searchlight on flag and on any other ship. What are your thoughts/experiences?

Though unrelated to targeting, I will say a flagship w/searchlight has a very high chance of CI, so that's seems to be one plus for a searchlighted flagship.
