Hello,

So, can you explain how damage is calculated ? 

I understand that weapons does X amount of damage, and shields are better against energy weapons for example, but are defence rating substracted from damage or is this a % of reduction ? And for the HP, are they HP for shields and HP for Hull ? And how many time each weapon shot during each phase ?

Thanks to explain that, I like a lot spending time on ship design and understanding the mechanics behind the numbers will improve the experience I think.
