1. What effect does legion size have, if any, on combat?
None with ship to ship combat. Planets have a boost to their attack, defense, and cloak abilities based on the legion size. Know that attacking a ship that has a large legion is much more likely to have multiple retaliations.
Marineboy1969 wrote: 2. I understand that after lvl 20 we can attack each others planets, does attacking combat use the same att/def system that ships do? I'm cant imagine that taking a planet would be as easy as attacking a ship but just checking. Also if a planet has for example 50 def but 0 attack will there be any damage at all back to the attacker?
Ship to Planet combat applies the same att/def calculations as normal battle. However, reducing the planet population is only one part of taking a planet. Once the population is low enough, you will have a 1-shot chance to invade it. Planetary attack and defenses are rolled against your ship attack.

It only removes it from the scan lists of players who already scanned it, it does not prevent it from being scanned again. Note that it has no effect on players that the planet was shared to (although shares are temporary and wear off).
Marineboy1969 wrote: 4. The artifact "terraforming device" does it improve all the resources on a planet or just one?
All. Research, mining and artifact will be boosted by one.
Marineboy1969 wrote: 5. The different "Chassis" artifacts, apparently they add a specified value to certain resources, but is adding one the same as saying improving from abundant to very abundant or is it plus one to the hourly output? Do they stack if I have more than one?
No, they act just like other structures on your planet. They do stack if you have more than one (just like structures), but some have a limit to the number that can be built on a single planet.

Yes, population is hit points. Shhh... don't tell the colonists that...

The locker provides a weapon that is "better than decent" for the Rank you are. If you have heavily researched into weapons for your Rank, the weapon you get might not seem superior. At higher ranks, the weapon can still be sold for a decent amount of money if you do not need it.
The weapon you get is permanent.
