Starship Trait Question

Someone here has said before that if your actively flying a starship with a trait you dont have to have it slotted to benefit from it. I.E., you can have 4/4 starship traits slotted and fly a ship with a different trait and actually have 5 traits active, essentially have another "free" trait.

Is this true? Is this documented somewhere/evidence? Are you a witness to such phenomenon?

Thank you.

    There were at one point a few traits that were always active once you'd earned them (the specialization ones). Those were fixed. I'm not aware of any other things like that.
    SCM - Crystal C. (S) - [00:12] DMG(DPS) - @jarvisandalfred: 8.63M(713.16K) - Fed Sci

    SCM - Hive (S) - [02:31] DMG(DPS) - @jarvisandalfred: 30.62M(204.66K) - Fed Sci

    Tacs are overrated.

    Can anyone else comment about this.

    Its seems like you SHOULD be able to use the trait of a ship your currently flying without slotting it, but i dont think it works that way. I am testing this concept and i am not seeing it so far.

    That's not the case. If it was, a fair amount of non-fleet ships would be better than their fleet version.

    So no, you HAVE to have it slotted irregardless of flying the origin ship?

    Correct; Believe me, there are certainly days my Command Cruiser and I wish it were otherwise.
