Shadowjack, I'm quite curious as to your formulas, and look forward to your detailed post. 

While I can certainly see how the formulas could work - they'd be reasonably complex but not indecipherably so, I'm puzzled as to how you can factor in the unknown: "Boost" ability. I've seen ideas tossed around, but without a knowledge of what it does (and if/how its value scales with pilot skill like Barrel Roll must), that must be a major unknown.

It isn't as complex as you'd think. They do tweek some numbers up based on pilot abilities and other balance issues. 

I did a regression analysis to figure it out but I didn't plug the stat numbers straight in. I'll talk about it more when I'm not typing from my phone.
