Augmenter Tweaking

Each level of Augmenter Tweaking (abbreviated Aug Tweak or AT) up to level 25 gives a 4% increase to all augmenter stats, totaling to a 100% increase to all augmenter stats at level 25. You can get up to level 2 by completing the missions at a AI controlled space station in The Nexus called the Cadet Academy. Levels beyond 2 are obtained by completing missions The Acropolis.

For example, a ship with one augmenter equipped to grant +56% to some statistic would receive the following bonus, as a function of the player's level of Augmenter Tweaking, labeled AT.

$\left(1+.04\times\mbox{AT}\right)\times56%$

Similarly, if the equipped augmenter granted -56% instead, the resulting penalty is calculated as follows.

$\dfrac{1-56%}{1+\left(56%\times\left(.04\times\mbox{AT}\right)\right)}$
