I believe that entry makes the previously hardcoded defense penalty for planets moddable.

It means that an attacking ship will almost never miss a planet, but now modders can change the value of "almost".

The two entries before that have interesting implications; unmodded seekers have a +40 defense bonus, and a planet's weapons platforms have a +30 attack bonus.

I assume the weapon platform bonus would be added to the mount bonus? That makes large weapon platforms VERY scary - a massive weapon platform mount has an 80% attack bonus (IIRC), and adding another 30% makes the total bonus 110%... add combat sensors and planetary assaults become quite dangerous.
