Different kinds of questions

[Asmala]

I have couple of (newbie) questions.

1. Is it enough to have one weapon platform containing combat sensor and ecm (do they count as stack)?

2. Is it worth to put ecm, stealth armor and scattering armor to weapon platform when there is -200% defence bonus by planet?

3. Is multiplex tracking needed in weapon platforms (I recall someting that planets can automatically shoot 10 targets)?

4. Am I right that the weakest cargo is destroyed first (usually mines first, then troops, satellites, weapon platforms) thus it's not reasonable to put decoy weapon platforms containing only armor/shields.

5. What is the order how the mines are swept/exploded? Is it first-layed first-swept?

6. What is the order how satellites are destroyed? First-layed first-destroyed or weakest first?

7. Is shields in fighter/satellite count as hitpoints or as shield? So how shield depleter and phased-polaron beam works against them?

8. Is there any way to tell ships not to clear orders when go through damaging warp point? It's very annoying when there is black hole on the other side of the warp point and the warp point is two squares away from black hole... You can guess what happens, it's impossible to go through that system.

9. How the race trait happiness actually works? If I have 20% happiness bonus is my natural decrease -20 * 1,2 = -24?

OK, thats all what I have in mind this time
