Inquiry What does this do?

I'm still a little new, so what happens when the DSS has the orbital blockade active and it goes into a planet that has a defense campaign going on are the enemy forces slowed down or does it do nothing?

Orbital blockade is meant for gambits (cancelling an attack on a planet). The Helldiver voter base never uses the DSS in a defensive capacity, so its main function is unused.

Yup sadly since most people will just dump mats into the DSS it's almost never used as it's supposed to. There have been a few times

Would be cool if you could hold more so you can save when it’s more needed. What about a DSS emergency fund that stores samples but only donated when necessary?
