I just did a quick test scenario.

I had an E-2 circling around an Vishnaya with a Tico VLS and playable FFG about 50nm away, both in EMCON. The E-2 does promote the Vishnaya to the link and the Tico in fact will engage the Vishnaya with Harpoons.

I also had a Akula playable in the same scenario near the E-2. I played the scenario from the Akula side and fired a volley of missiles at the two warships. The E-2 detected the missile launches and promoted the missiles to the link, because even in EMCON, the CG started evasive manovering immediately after the launch of the missiles. However, the CG still did not engage the vampires with its SAMs until they had gotten within 10nm.

This remains a mystery. It must be somewhere in the doctrines, rather than the link behavior, or so my logic tells me, which I guess is good news, because it can be changed by modifing the doctrines, and doesn't require a change of the gamecode. But then again, I have my suspicions that AEGIS ships are hardcoded to hold fire on vampires until 10nm. I dunno... I'll look at some doctrine stuff.
