Default Re: Question about stacking for units/fighters/sats/etc.

1) Yes. "Brain sats" with Talisman/Sensors/ECM/etc will provide fire control for all the sats in the stack.

2) Yes and no. Armor is still useful, since it is dirt cheap, and provides 5 hp/kt. Modest-level shielding is better, with up to 8 hp/kt. Almost all other components are 1 hp/kt.
The unit remains fully operational until all of its combined hitpoints are gone.

Think of a unit as being one component, and a stack of units as being the ship.

3) Yes. Shields, armor and internals are combined into one unit "component" for the unit stack "ship". All defense strength is treated as physical/armor type hitpoints. The shield points and generator hitpoints add.

4) I only tried it for fighters, but it provided hitpoints to all of the units. I suspect it would work for sats too, and maybe drones, but I doubt it would work on troops or platforms.

Re: #1 intentional?
Well, MM has already fiddled with the unit ability stacking, so I would say that it is intended until told otherwise.
