First, what is the damage distribution of weapons?

I am not understanding your question. Can you, please, rephrase the question?

If a weapon is stated to do x damage, then what is the probabilistic distribution of how much damage it actually does on a particular shot? Or does it always do x damage?

Second, what is the formula for scanner ship range with multiple scanners?

After typing in "multiple scanners" into the Find-option of the Stars!-help:
"Multiple scanners on a single ship are cumulative. [...] The formula for calculating a ship's scanner range is the 4th root of the sum of each scanner to the 4th power. Let's say you have a ship design with two 100 light year scanners and one 60 light year scanner. (100^4 + 100^4 + 60^4) ^ � = 120 light years. The same calculation applies to planet penetrating scanners."

Thanks, I think that works.
