I'm no fan of the Doom rocket launcher's lock-on module, the remote detonation may be boring but it's much better for damaging crowds and effective ammo use by letting you detonate them closer to the target and buffing the explosion. Similar with the Gauss Rifle's boring scope, while the siege mode seems like the way to go the scope does just as much damage if you charge and hit the head but only takes 15 cells per shot instead of 30 so you get much more killing out of it.
Though the shotgun's charge shot seems pointless considering the super shotgun's ult lets you fire four shells for even more damage.
Hard flux doesn't require venting, it just cannot dissipate while your shields are up. It's the flux you gained from taking shield damage (beams don't cause hard flux tho...).
Simple explanation for flux is "waste produced by your generator", consuming power produces flux.
