A have a few:

1- I built in the same planet a Robotoid Factory III and a mineral scanner III, both are suppossed to give a 30% bonus on mineral extraction, yet I only noticed the increase when I built the first facility. Does this means that their bonuses don't stack up, or is it just that the bonus for the second facility is not noticeable on the planet's information screen? And what about the system wide Versions of these facilities? Do they stack up?

2- How can I order a fleet to blockade a planet? I haven't found a blockade order in the fleet's row of orders. Whatever I do, they keep getting within range of the planetary defenses.

3- If I place a fleet in every Warp point leading to any given system, will that blockade the entire system, or at least the trade with other empires?

4- I have ships with both Meson bLasters and Phased polaroid beams, but the ones with the MBs seem to hit far more frequently than the ones with the PPBs. The diference I see is that the MBs are 20 kt while the PPBs have a size/weight of 30 kt, which leads me to assume that the lower the size of the gun, the higher the chance to hit. Is this correct?

Thanks.
