So I was just looking around the code today and found this tidbit:

    if( ch->pcdata->learned[gsn_spacecombat] > 1 && ch->pcdata->learned[gsn_spacecombat2] < 1
            && ch->pcdata->learned[gsn_spacecombat3] < 1 )
        ship->hull -= sdamage * 4;
    else if( ch->pcdata->learned[gsn_spacecombat] > 1 && ch->pcdata->learned[gsn_spacecombat2] > 1
            && ch->pcdata->learned[gsn_spacecombat3] < 1 )
        ship->hull -= sdamage * 5;
    else if( ch->pcdata->learned[gsn_spacecombat] > 1 && ch->pcdata->learned[gsn_spacecombat2] > 1
            && ch->pcdata->learned[gsn_spacecombat3] > 1 )
        ship->hull -= sdamage * 6;
    else
        ship->hull -= sdamage * 5;

The above is in swfotefuss space.c around like 5227 (stock).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you've learned spacecombat1 you are doing less damage to a ship vs someone who has no access to that skill? In stock it seems to be a piloting level of 5.

Or am I reading that function wrong?

Nice, a 3 with the last else would make more sense

    else
        ship->hull -= sdamage * 3;

Yep, glad to know I wasn't completely off on that one.
