If you have +100% Firing Energy and -10% Elec Tempering (e.g. from Sniper Skill and some random augmenters), the total amount of energy used per shot will be (1+1) x (1-.1) = 2 x .9 = 1.8 times more than the standard amount.

The reason I mentioned {Firing Energy, Elec Tempering} and {Resistance, Vulnerability} is that they are also examples of stats that are called two different things, with slightly different formulas.

Vulnerability is multiplicative, however, so if you have -10% Vulnerability from an aura, incoming damage is multiplied by (1-.1).

Aha, now I understand it much better, thanks alot!

I'm also working on a calculator, I kinda stopped on the excel-sheet because of how slow it was, and the inflexibility of the formulas. However I have some questions regarding some of the effects found on weapons, augmenters and skills. There are probably more, but on the first 181 effects I have documented I have the following questions.

What does these effects do:
Firing Energy - ?
Radar - [+Vision] and [+Detection]?
Stealth - [-Visibility] and [+Radar]?
Gremlin Effect - [-Forced Thrust] and [-Forced Turn] and [-Time affected]?
All fighter stats - ?
Wild Slave Stats - ?
Transference Power - ?
Transference Efficiency - ?

Also for the Big Guns, it states: "Capital Ships: +3% Damage, +1% Mining Damage, Others: +2% Damage"

I'm reading this as:
+3% Capital Ship Damage
+1% Capital Ship Mining Damage
+2% Support Freighter Damage
+2% Light Fighter Damage
+2% Heavy Fighter Damage
+2% Industrial Freighter Damage

Could someone correct / confirm this information?

The Big Guns skill is exactly as you said it. Firing Energy is like Electric Tempering, + Firing Energy is the same as + Electric Tempering.
The Wild Slave Stats and All Fighter Stats, is just bonusses to the basic stats like for personal ships.
Transference Power is like + Damage, but only for Shield Transferences, and Efficiency is that you loose less Shield while Transfering.

With Radar, Stealth and Gremlin Effect, I haven't messed with that myself yet, so I can't help you on that.

What does agility and nimbleness do?

It really takes quite a lot of time to create a calculator that works, but getting closer incrementally, any stats that is important which I haven't thought about?

Well since it's only showing the ones that setup gives bonuses to, I can't tell. But that list is missing a few anyway. Elec Tempering comes to mind.

I think I'm doing something wrong with weight and/or turning formula.

With fleet commander there are no bonus to Weight?

Turning = 152 * Engine turning * Turning Multiplier / Total weight

Someone want to try my calculator and check if the calculations are correct?

Just create an account and log in, I hope it is self explanatory, if not just ask.

When I try to change my skills when using your calculator.



Saving in calculator also bugged for me.

Fixed

Fixed a few more errors, forgot to limit it to a specific users skills, ooops

Now will force you to create and then pick a build before you try to pick items. This will fix
