I don't really know. It depends a bit on exactly how the combat mechanics work too. I'm not sure I'm really asking for anything about it to be changed anyway. As it is, it's a guide to how well armed / protected you are, but you have to look through your actual crew stats to see the real picture, but that may be a good thing

Yeah, keep it simple whenever possible. Although the fact that most crews (at least most of mine) don't survive even a week might start to grate
>> Not entirely sure on the other hand what you mean with misleading armor and weapons aggregates. Could you elaborate a bit? What was misleading you how?
Sure. In the awayteam view, the figures for armour, melee and ranged weapons show the total values of all equipped items. However, a team of 10, all with rifles might have the same "ranged" value as a team with 2 or 3 decent weapons. Depending on what they are shooting at, fire might have very different effects, despite the nominally similar values. Unless I misunderstood how ranged damage is calculated, which is entirely possible

>> That's the time it will take to repair the ship
Ok, but what does "23 hours" *mean*? 23 turns? 23 waits? I think the explorer I found was just floating in space, fully functional, so I just moved over, and it wasn't an issue. Good to know I don't absolutely require a ship repair kit though
>> If you press A you can see the individual members of your team and what armor and weapons they have.
Yes, I have learned to manage my away team from here, although it's not the most intuitive screen ever. It seems awkward to assign specific equipment to specific personnel, although I haven't tried playing with it too much yet
>> If you attack a critter everybody tries to hit the creature. Everybody who does manage to hit, does damage according to the weapon wielded. Hope this helped?
Yes. The collated damage values are a little misleading. A large team all with weak weapons will have a different damage profile compared to 2 or 3 powerful ones, but the same apparent attack rating

Magellan himself would have to explain the whole system in more detail.
