I am very concerned about the hit curve. Bonus to attack roll has basically gone away in Starfinder (except weapon focus of focus of course).
But defense bonuses seem to be alive and well, is the idea that everyone is just going to miss a lot more? Am I missing something?

Ok so UC, Pg 119 Sling Flail Combat feat,
I am unclear about some wording here, as I first read it, it basically makes a sling into a melee weapon that is considered a flail. Which seems fairly clear, however upon closer consideration my question comes from the special section the phrase "Also Apply" which feats are used? Flail? Sling? Flail and Sling?
If so how does this feat relate to stitched slings, from HoG, and it relationship or lack there of to Whip-Slinger also for HoG?
