fallen, another wiki request: How do percentages work in this game? eg for +25% defense talents and components, is that additive (+25%) or multiplicative (*1.25)? The new armour wiki page is excellent reading, thanks! All of my combat crew take the heavy armour, unless they have stealth points or a load of extra evasion. I haven't yet found a reason to use any weapons apart from the HMGs on my Soldiers and Bounty Hunters though.

I will work on a page detailing buff, gear and trait bonuses and exactly how they work. This week is crew combat week, and we're making huge progress on balance, weapons, armor, talents and visuals. I believe you'll have reasons to at least consider soon  |

Remember to add the premium offhand blade to the weapon seller's list! |

Digging how everything is coming together; the links back to other sections (ex. attributes) will make it real easy for someone to understand the levers in the game. Looking good! Finished typing up the rules: startraders.gamepedia.com/Soaking_Damage |

Very clear... makes sense to a layperson like me (non-dice experienced player). Good job :-) |

Added a new page describing contact mission giver types -- startraders.gamepedia.com/Mission_TypesThe current release doesn't have all the updates that make this doc match the code, but this is what is coming! |

Thanks, I'd been wondering what rank does for me. The next couple of updates are going to bring Rumors, Conflicts, Ranks, Edicts and Permits up a major level. And we'll try to get the documentation done. Lots of in game doc going in tho -- Screenshot has a bug, that is actually "Pirates!" rumor  |

Cool, I'll be looking forward to it. I'm checking the "Recent changes" page a few times per day. More info on ship components would be also nice. I'm often scratching my head when looking to do upgrades, trying to figure out what, exactly, a Sig Dampener or a Sensor Array does. Ditto for Boarding Assault System or Deflector Array. |
