Why not put them in one of the tooltips? Yes, I'll agree it's complex, but for players familiar with the combat system, this is important info.
Killing crew tells you how many troops (manpower) are killed in the ship shot by this weapon. To know how much damage is absorbed, you need to multiply your defense absorption (hull plating or shield, displayed in the right panel) by '100 - penetration value'.
Laser: shield penetration => 80%, hull penetration => 30%.Missile: shield penetration => 90%, hull penetration => 10%.Kinetic: shield penetration => 80%, hull penetration => 30%.
You can find some details about hull / shield absorptions by hovering the detailed stats in the ship design's right panel.īut I must admit we do not display the weapon penetrations (we don't want to make more complex the tooltip but we need to find a solution).
