Fleet strength and missiles

Can TI devs please scale combat power and missiles with how many slots of missiles are in the fleet?

Missiles are deceptively weak when there is only a few and deceptively strong when there is many.

I know fleet power is changed when fuel is burned, so these numbers can be dynamic. Missiles combat strength should be much lower, but also then multiplied by like, say, 1.2 (20%) or so for each additional hardpoint that has a missile in the fleet, and the number should recalculate each time a ship enters or leaves the fleet. That would better help me and possibly the AI evaluate actual threats.

(Simple example: say 5 ships, each with 1 missile hardpoint is merged into a fleet. Say each missile hardpoint is 2 combat power by itself. 20% × 5 hardpoints of missiles = 100%, and in the fleet combat power calc it would treat each missile now as 4 combat power instead of just 2 when in the fleet.)

My new very expensive tank build

Using some of the highest HP compartments I have unlocked to bubblewrap the reactor. 3 man, angle of attack 45 degrees to the front right or front left, plan is to hold the enemy ahead and to the side, and to prevent them from flanking.

L-Shaped Cargo Bay 'shape'?

Is it more like an S-bend or is it actually an L? Trying to decide which one to buy, not sure yet. Can't tell based on the picture. Does it give you a mirrored version too, or no?

What does the heat dial mean?

Bottom left of screen, it seems to go up based on damage but drifts towards center over time? And why do I see it when leaving my trampler and inside of a city?

Box keys also drop from the zombies

Most people don't seem to know this. I think its somewhere between a 2% to a 5% chance. Always make a mental note where you killed zombies so you run back over to see what they drop.

I'm RICH!!!

You could sell items in the safe storage screen at the space station. Ooooor you could bring them in game and sell them at forts! I almost lost everything doing this though, lol. But I didn't!

I guess you should always attack players parked at forts, they might have 20,000 crowns on them!

Is this game going to release any DLC with other franchises?

Helldivers does these premium 20 dollar and 30 dollar warbonds that sometimes collab with other IPs. Like halo and now 40k as well.

Is that something stardock could do, doing a little partnership collab with another science fiction title, and releasing a 20-30 dollar dlc of a faction that is from another universe, with some of the sales going to paying the licensing headaches that the poor stardock staff would have to read through lol.

Could be an avenue to gain popularity.

(Better not just be a reskin. I mean, sure, you could use the overarching mechanics of a faction that fits best, and I mean like, TEC trade points or vasari phase resonance, renamed to be something else.)

But in terms of reskin I wouldn't want to pay that much money for reskinned ships, it would be cool to see a halo theme that has gauss on all their cruisers (i think cruisers would adequately fit for halos UNSC frigates, with halos cruisers being capital ships), with a modified TEC tech tree with halo themes, such as removing all the beam techs and shield techs, and adding more techs for missiles and MACs. A lot of their cruisers would have light autocannon turrets/PDC and light advent-like missiles in addition to the forward facing MAC.

Would be cool to see mini factions, but they would need to be a checkbox to include/exclude, or maybe make player only, and not AI, as any new factions is bound to upset the competitive balance, and the current roster is pretty feature complete.

I'm addicted to the free Akkan Trade Point

Doubling my crystal income from minute 1 feels sooooo good bros I can't stop. And the Akkan isn't as helpless in combat as it used to be. Load up with nuke bombs and get a 500 xp derelict to gain colonize and your set.

I can spam research and frigates much better now.
