Some questions on Spaceships

I'd interpret the rules as disallowing multiple batteries to operate "as one", even though it's a bit counter-intuitive (an X-Wing would be less useful, for instance). Multiple engines can be considered to be an engine plate or simply a bigger one for the added effects. Imo, it'd make sense if multiple batteries could be combined to the same battery (at least with enough complexity or something). Do linked weapons fire at a higher RoF, or are they considered individual rolls, btw? And if they're separate, are they Dodged together (ie the Dodge MoS "spills over" to the other linked shots)?

Right, I missed that note on the missile AD. But regarding missiles, why are the base relative velocities different based on what scale the encounter is at? That makes no (intuitive) sense to me, or does a missile continuously accelerate (or at least is considered to do so in space)?
