	~~Weapon~~ control modules ~~'''are useless when using guns'''.

The abilities of the weapon control modules can be stacked, however every additional module of the same type will be reduced by half for every module of the same type that is installed. The formula can be interpreted roughly as:

	: '' Note, I'm still not entirely sure on that last bit. Because missiles are auto-homing projectiles, would the accuracy mods affect the missile turn speed? Jammers definitely reduce the speed by making them fly off in a wider circle. Needs some way of testing. - [[User:NKF\|NKF]] ''		Module Accuracy boost / 0.5<sup>''n''</sup>

	~~Weapon control~~ modules ~~can be stacked, however every additional module of the same type will decrease in effectiveness~~.		Where ''n'' is the number of additional modules being installed. For example:

	eg: ~~'''VERY rough estimate'''~~		*1st module: 10% (10% × 0.5<sup>0</sup>)
	* 1xmodule = 20% ~~increase~~		*2nd module: 5% (10% × 0.5<sup>1</sup>)
	* 2xmodule = 20 + (50% ~~x 20~~) ~~= 30% increase~~		*3rd module: 2.5% (10% × 0.5<sup>2</sup>)
	* ~~3xmodule = 20 +~~ (50% ~~x 20~~) ~~+ (50~~%x(50%~~x20~~)~~) = 35% increase~~		*4th module: 1.25% (10% × 0.5<sup>3</sup>)
	* ~~4xmodule = 20 + (50% x 20) + (50%x(50~~%x(50%~~x20)))= 37~~.5~~% increase.~~

	~~I don't know the exact formula, but it seems that using more than two modules of ANY sort becomes almost pointless.~~

			The fractions are rounded to the nearest integer. In short, the more modules of the same type that are installed beyond the first 2 reduce the overall effectiveness of the accuracy boost.
