Re: Damage Calculation
OK, here's another guess for the answer to the "puzzle":
If you "mechanically" apply the attack and defense bonus modifiers, you may not calculate a correct hit probability because some abilities stack with each other, and others do not. For example, if you install an ECM1 (20%) and and ECM3 (60%) on the same ship, you will not get 20% + 60% = 80% bonus; rather, you will only get the 60%. Similarly, I believe that ECM and scattering armor do not stack, so if you install both scattering armor and ECM on the same ship, you will not get the combined bonus from the two components. I'm not sure if ship experience and fleet experience stack, but I have a suspicion that they do not.
