SO Useful Information

[Amagnon]

I was referring to FTP who thought 22 shields was a silly idea, not you Kenn.  Also Basil insisted more than 8 was a waste - not true.

The number of required shields or comps varies with the target percentage.

Completed Commander Skill Max % thanks to a contribution by Draken

[CrimsonSmear]

Optimal Special Weight is: 6
Optimal Weapon Weight is: 8

Max Computer Stack should not exceed 10 components (valid up to 36% Raw ACU... possibly up to 50% Raw ACU)
Max Shield Stack should not exceed 22 components (valid up to 75% Raw ABS... most probably to 80% Max)

[MeGuaRen]

Optimal Special Weight is: 6
Optimal Weapon Weight is: 8

Max Computer Stack should not exceed 10 components (valid up to 36% Raw ACU... possibly up to 50% Raw ACU)
Max Shield Stack should not exceed 22 components (valid up to 75% Raw ABS... most probably to 80% Max)

Special and Weapon weight look good.

Commander XP Gain Update. Emi seemed to forgot to mention he update the rate you get it at.

[KenquinnTheInsaneOne]

Stared to add more information to this now that I am playing again its a good way to past time waiting for turns.

Just added Swarm Bonus Data for ships size 62 and up

[Maxim]

What I'm about to say is probably bloody obvious, but I'm pointing out what the effect of each maxed skill would be. And don't forget mothership mods count towards that percent.

Advanced BioFarms: 255% (Thanks to Draken) = 35.5 credits per biofarm per turn
Advanced Locator: 255% (Thanks to Draken) = 3.55x segments on Extend missions
Time Dilation: 255% (Thanks to Draken) = Cap at 12,750 turns (assuming initial cap is 5000)
Planetary Combat: 255% (Thanks to Draken) = Marines are 3.55x stronger
Marine Leader: 70% (Thanks to Draken) = Marines cost 0.3 credits
Special Board Fleets: 255% (Thanks to Draken) = Ships hold 3.55x marines
Kamikaze Master: 50% (Thanks to Draken) = 1.5x attack on all ships
Unknown Alloy Armour: 70% (Thanks to Draken) = 1.7x HP on all ships
Slave Training Knowledge: 255% (Thanks to Draken) = ~1 credit per 850 workers
Master Defender: 50% (Thanks to Draken) = 1.5x defence on all ships
Black Market Dealer 37%(Thanks to Sir Emi and Draken) = Ships bought with the design cost 63% of original
Shield Master: 37% (Thanks to Draken) = ABS +37%
Target Tracker:   37% (Thanks to Draken) = ACC +37%
Emphatic Trade Relations: 70% (Thanks to Draken) = Market buy price x0.3
Fast Talker: 70% (Thanks to Draken) = Market sell price x1.7
Line Assemble: 80%  = Ships cost 20% of normal
Upgrades Dealer: 37% (Thanks to Draken) = Upgrade cost x0.63
Explorer Mercenary: 50% (Thanks to Draken) = 1.5x segment reward
Elite Mercenary: 50% (Thanks to Draken) = 1.5x credit reward
Slave Trader Mercenary: 50% (Thanks to Draken) = 1.5x worker reward
Contraception Ban: 255% (Thanks to Draken) = 3.55x worker growth rate
Bank Fraud Program: 255% (Thanks to Draken) = 3.55x interest
Genius Mind: 255% (Thanks to Draken) = 3.55x EXP
Genius Leader: 255% (Thanks to Draken) = 3.55x CP from levels
Alliance Genius Leader:   100% (Thanks to Draken) = 2x alliance size
Warp Alignment Sensibility: 75% (Thanks to Draken) = Travel cost x0.25

Putting all the stat boosts together gives you a ship that's ~10 times the strength of its original cost. Cool.
