Hit formula for weapons?

[grekulf]

Formula is: chane_to_hit = Acc - max(0, eva - trk).
So weapon with high tracking can help hitting target with high evasion. But if the target don't have much evasion, it won't make the gun more accurate.

This is true.

And in regards to mass drivers - consider that their accuracy is much lower than lasers, so every point of evasion is a bigger loss in overall damage dealt.

You choose the weapon depending on what you are planning to fight.

Armor penetration ignores a certain amount of damage reduction from armor. If an attack deals 100 damage, and you have 50% damage reduction from armor and 50% armor penetration, only 25 damage will be absorbed by armor.

Armor penetration checks for damage reduction from armor, not the armor itself.
