1. Highly unlikely
2. Go to tacops, at the bottom of the screen click menu then waypoint and where it says CC click on it the choose SC1 or SC2 or whatever, click add, place on the map then click add again, select where it says proceed to next then select "deploy mdrone" place that on the map at least 5-10km away from the first waypoint. repeat for other shuttles. when all is done make sure you have people in the SC to fly it then launch.
3. R/Upgrades and E/Upgrades makes your ship consume less fuel. S/Upgrades increases shield strength Hull/Armor upgrades increases Hull strength.
4. in Tradcom in a station under spare parts find FC asset and buy it (they are expensive) then in luanch in tactical it will give you the option to replace the fighter.
5. Make sure in Logistix that engine power is at 10 if it is then your going as fast as you can.
6. Not a clue whats wrong there sry.
7. Ok...Don't then
Hope that helps a little
