Default Re: Damage Calculation

As far as determining actual damage, Death Shrines add a 5/10/15% bonus to actual damage amount for weapons fired in that system. IIRC, that is.

Fleet Experience level
..0 to 50%
....obtained by actual experience
....can be trained by Fleet Training Facility to maximum of:

Default Re: Damage Calculation

Temporal Events Predictor gives a system-wide tohit bonus (I don't remember how much, though...) And I thought that Religious had a tohit/ecm bonus shrine, as well as the death shrine...
