Damage Calculation

Nice list.....
but what are the fighter ECM and Sensor bonuses?

[Suicide Junkie]

They are abilities given directly to the fighter hull.

Next time you are selecting a ship size, hold your mouse over a fighter size hull, and look at the text box near the cancel button.
It will list all the ability descriptions associated with that hull.

no, not that bonus...
I meant with the fighter ECM and targeting componants.

Thanks Wardad

You bring up a good point as

Small combat sensors are 10% 20% and 30%
Small ECM are 10%, 20% and 30%

OK, how about:

We should include the note that:
The % to hit can never go above 99% without the talisman
The % to hit can never go below 1%

So, after "mechanically" applying the attack and defense factors, we have to apply these range checks.

Sorry Kamog

But your question brings up a good issue in that I have to change the special section somewhat to make it more understandable to the readers. Originally, the 1% was in there and I thought my phrasing covered it, but obviously it did not.

Great, It is about time there is a completely detailed list on Attack and Defense bonuses.

One thing missing - Negative Planetary Defense, (which definitely affects Weapon platforms).

One thing I heard, but didn't quite understand - Default Attack 50%???
I guess it's a ship with no attack bonus vs a ship with no defense bonus, (tested at what - zero or 5 distance).

[Suicide Junkie]

The base accuracy is 100%
Planetary defense modifier is -200%
Planetary attack modifier is +30%
Seeker defense modifier is +40% (missiles in flight, used when being shot at by PDCs)
