OK - got some more -

6) Combat sensors & ECM's - what exactly do they modify? They say it adds say, 20% to attack/defense. What does that mean? Is it 20% added to the ToHit %? 20% more damage? What? & the 20% defense bonus - is that -20% to the attackers %? Does it mean your armor/shields will sustain 20% more damage?

7) In the colonization screen, is there any way to sort the planets, say, alphabetically in the screen that pops up after you hit the "send colony ship to planet X" button. It's a pain in late game to have to sort through 50 planets to find the one listing for Zoltar VII when it's buried in the Medium sized planets (it apparently sorts all available planets by size automatically).

Thanks for the info so far.

didn't know that about the Max Wpn range - opps Just got another question...

8) If a ship is set to Max Wpn Range and it has 2 types of wpns - say a 3 range and a 6 range DF type wpn, which range will it use for the Max wpn range - the 3 or the 6? Would this prohibit putting extreme long range wpns on with medium range wpns?
