Evasion of Menacing Corvettes

[EXCAT]

My basic Menacing Corvette has 90% evasion - that's what it says.

Now I add Advanced Afterburners - which are supposed to add 10% to evasion.
Now we are going to have a corvette with 100% evasion, weee!

But no. The Ship Designer says that evasion is still 90%, after adding the Advanced Afterburner.

Should this be reported as a bug?
Anyone had experience with this?

I believe 90% is the evasion cap for any ship.

Edit: Quick search to confirm, added in 1.4. first item under General.

Not a bug. It used to be possible by stacking bonuses but it was stupid to have a lone corvette sadly plinking away at a fleet of battleships for thirty years.

Not a bug, and working as intended.

Afterburners have three main uses: getting early-game corvettes to 90% evasion sooner than you'd otherwise have them, raising the evasion of other ships in your fleet, and otherwise making your fleets move around faster than they otherwise would.
