Show me step by step, what SJ has posted on the site will provide me with the formula which yielded the derived 290 and 165 values.

That is not what the forumla calculates. I already said where I think those values came from.

That all depends on the situation. It is better to be phase-shielded than armored (stealth and scattering armor do not count as "armored" because they are not structural armors; their entire purpose is ECM-defense, not hit point-defense). It is always better to have some armor/shields than none. But how much is best varies depending on the game situation. Try testing various designs in the Combat Simulator to see which function best in certain situations.
