COMBAT BONUSES
Fleet Strength Bonus
When you merge your starships into a fleet, each ship contributes a certain amount of points. These points equate to a percentage 'strength bonus' which is applied to the fleet. The maximum strength bonus is 10%. You can view the current 'fleet strength bonus' by viewing the fleet info page for that fleet. Escort ships make the smallest contribution, while capital ships make the largest contribution, to the fleet strength score.
Officer Bonus
If you have assigned an officer to the fleet, the officer gains experience in proportion to the base salvage that the fleet earns (before race bonuses). This officer experience is converted into points that you may assign to accuracy, evasion or damage, to get a bonus in that area. 1 point = 1% bonus.
Class Bonus
Each class of ships offer the fleet a specific bonus, provided minimum criteria have been met. Escort ships offer a bonus to speed and stealth for other classes. Ships of the Line offer a bonus to damage for other classes. Capital ships offer a bonus to sensors for other classes. These bonuses only apply to ships in the same fleet.
Type Bonus
Within each class of ships, one type of ships may offer other ships within that class a specific bonus. So for example, scout ships offer a sensors bonus to other escort ships, while corvettes offer a speed/stealth bonus to other escort ships. Similarly, destroyers and cruisers offer sensors and damage bonuses to other ships of the line, and battleships/assault carriers offer uniques and weapons platforms a sensor bonus.
