I didn't see this reported - posting here:
According to EFT, my inflicting damage should be 460/3858 (DPS/Volley). According to the DPS graph (with rigs and painter), I should be getting max. damage against a Gurista BS.
However, each Volley is only producing a strike of 2045 when hitting both Shield and Armor as shown in the log:

[ 2010.09.10 00:33:37 ] (combat) <color=0xff99bb00>Group of Wrath Fury Cruise Missile hit Pith Conquistador for <b>2904</b> damage
[ 2010.09.10 00:33:45 ] (combat) <color=0xff99bb00>Group of Wrath Fury Cruise Missile hit Pith Conquistador for <b>3857</b> damage
As you can see, the damage is consistent minus the one Volley where a defender missile picked off one of my Cruise missiles. But notice when I hit structure. The second to last volley took out the Armor, and dented the structure (higher Volley damage). The final volley hit almost at the exact amount of damage predicted by EFT (1 point off). As I look through the logs, every ship is the same.
So I did a quick search, and found an entry that shows the resistances for this particular ship:
http://eveinfo.com/npcship/24148/eve-online-pith-conquistador.html
As you'll notice, it has a 47% resistance to Kinetic damage on both Shields and Armor. Doing the math (3858 - 47%), you get a value of 2044.74 (which rounds to 2045). So I played with the resistances on the target ship in EFT, and the DPS charts don't change, no matter how high the resists.
Basically, all it's doing is providing the raw DPS/Volley when no resistances are in place. When you graph it, it simply prints out the raw values, never factoring in the resists on the target.
So you're probably hitting for full damage in-game folks, but just never knew it because of this bug.
Thought I'd report this.
