Ship Power Balance Question

[Nagamzor]

I was reading the wiki and found this under "Construction cost & Power balance," for "Ship designer:"

A ship with an over-positive power balance enjoys improved performance, proportionate to power required. This improvement is equal to 20% * (1 - Power Required / Total Power ) to Weapon damage, and 10% * (1 - Power Required / Total Power ). This formula leads to diminishing returns on the gain, with 33% excess power granting a 5/2.5% boost, 100% granting 10/5%, and 300% granting 15/7.5%.

The improved performance shows two calculations. One for weapon damage and the other (the formula starting with 10% that I have underlined), does not specify what is boosted.

I was unable to find this in a search on the forums, so sorry if it has been answered a few times, I must've used the wrong key words.

Anyways, can someone tell me what the second calculation is a boost for please?
Thanks.

That has to be Evasion.

Actually that applies a bonus to evasion, speed and damage, here is a pop-up when you hover over ship evasion, speed or damage in the ship designer that shows a green bonus number from excess power.

I don't know why there are two values though since all 3 are 8% on my example

Then this article cant be correct for the current version of the game.

That part was propably written way back when Excess power boost was added. Just do the math, verify the formula and write the new one. That is why it is a wiki after all.
I will see if I can doublecheck the numbers.
