ME Weapons destroyed Calc

So the ME score of weapons is weird, messed up and possibly bugged. Don't know if it is, or if it's a weird formula that admin uses, so anyone know how it works and if so does anyone know the formula/calc for it?

I would expect its a mere accumulation of damages points done to weapons.

ie

1 def weapon, 5750 weapon points
you do a hit, and for instance, after the hit the defence weapon becomes
5700 -> that would be 50 points
next hit
5650 -> 50 more points
that would be 100 points already times 0.0001
and if you would sab a weapon away
1 weapon 5750 points sabbed away -> 5750 points time 0.0001

I would guess its as simple as that.
havent tried, but that sounds most logical.

That's what I thought but it doesn't seem to work out, unless my calculations are wrong.

I also thought of the possibility of repairing def weapons so the weapon points destroyed is higher than the actual weapons destroyed, but the number I got was too high for even repair damage to seem reasonable.

Are you missing figures ?

Perhaps it also takes damages done to enemy attack weapons ? (which ran into your defence)

edit: and sabbed enemey attack weapons for that matter

ooo that must be it. Damn, makes it impossible to calculate weapons destroyed then. Thanks!

Every time you damage someone's weapons, that number goes up. That means your weapons destroyed will be a fraction of the overall calculation you'd get by dividing by 5755. It still is a good rough estimate to go by, especially if you don't farm defenses a ton.

Weapon Points Destroyed (Sab+Att)(0.0001) 84,611,907,096,118

I hit 10T within the first week of our war and the division came out to something ridiculous, looked back at my ME yesterday and remembered I had to ask this question :P
