TarMinyatur:
Corbomite, thanks for checking this stuff out. An entry, explaining that AMD's which hit fighters do 1 to 6 points of damage, might be helpful. Also stating that your AMD's will be 16% less accurate if they fire while your ship is using Erratic Maneuvers, might be good info, if it is true. I know that EAW had an EM penalty. OP might not have it.
The new table format is nice. Good work.

Thanks for pointing out possible errors.
Since AMD will fire until empty or the target(s) are gone/out of range I didn't see the point of a damage chart for it. Plasma D has better range and decreasing damage so knowing if that fleeing fighter is within range is more important since if it was within range of a loaded AMD, it would probably already be dead.
I assume there is an EM penalty for all PD, but I can't think of an accurate way to test it.
TarMinyatur:
To test for an EM penalty, it helps to have some player's assistance. Fly a D5 erratically at speed 16 away from a pursuing D6D at a steady range of 3.9 on a large map, and keep track of AMD shots and number of slow missiles destroyed. A sample of 72 shots (thereby totally exhausting the D5's pair of AMD-12's) should be convenient and sufficient. 33 to 39 kills would indicate a penalty. 45 to 51 kills would indicate no penalty.
It will take about 10 minutes to do this experiment at game speed 8. The hard part may be finding someone interested in data collection...OP isn't installed on this computer.

Confirmed: EM causes a firing penalty for AMD. It killed exactly 54 drones out of 108 potential shots (50%) while performing EM, firing at range 3+. As a control I did a no EM run and killed 54 drones out of 72 potential shots (75% very lucky!) at the same range.
Added a new section for EM effects on weaponry and updated the notes for Plasma I's, Plasma D's and AMD.
Corbomite:
Updated Cloak notes. I had a detail wrong.
