It would be great if there was a little more support to understand the meaning of the various figures in the combat report. Especially, what does the "hit ratio" mean and what are the figures per weapon type which pop up when you hoover over it? I cannot make sense of it.

For example, the overall hit ratio field for one combat participant is right now showing 70% during a battle. When I hoover over it, it say 40% for medium mass driver, 42% for small mass driver. How the heck can that average to 70%?

And what does the evasion ratio mean in the report. Hoovering over it, it is also split by weapon type (of the enemy) but this time, averaging works. It seems that the overall hit ratio of one party and the evasion ratio of the other party always add to 100% (after rounding).

Is somebody able to exactly say what these figures mean?

Mmmh, fifty-something views, and nobody knows an answer...? Pretty disappointing. Guys, when you look at the combat report, what do you make of these probably pretty important figures?

Ok, I see that i need to be more precise: I am talking about the report which is shown DURING combat. The report that is shown after combat is completed is pretty clear and there, all figures make sense
