Default Re: Dangerous Warp Points

So the question nagging me still is in the unmodded game where all unstable warp points cause 200 damage, why do some ships get through without a single scratch? Typically my first ship gets through these unharmed, but others have said that if you send enough through then some more will make it out the other side unharmed. Does the Warp Point Damage - Turbulence only have an xx% chance of happening to any particular ship that goes through?

Getting through unscathed is VERY important when the ship warping into a black hole system with the warp point within 2 squares of the center. Even with armor, the damage causes the ship to stop in the black hole system and then it gets destroyed. But I've had at least one ship make it through this suicidal situation because it wasn't ever damaged. Is it a bug or a feature?
