PHost: Commander ability and order of battle

Hi there,

assume we have a fleet that has a commander vessel among it. I'm the
Romulan and plan to take on that fleet piecewise and intercept the ships
appropriately.
If I set my FC such (lowest FC) that I kill the commander ship first,
will its commander ability still apply to the subsequent battles of the
same turn? Or will those vessels fight without that bonus?

Best regards,
Ingo

Yes. (Good candidate for a test otherwise

Think of it like a moral bonus delivered during the combat briefing.
Technically, PHost combat sorts all ships by X/Y, and processes each X/Y
separately (unlike HOST which does everything in a big loop). The
commander bonus is computed once per X/Y.
