 If I'm understanding Posey's spreadsheet correctly, the formula for damage is:
1-(mass over)/4*(mass limit)
1-(range over)/4*(range limit)

Total damage is (mass damage) + (range damage) - ((mass damage) * (range damage))

If this total is less then 1%, then no damage is done. I'm not sure if it rounds or not, or when it does.

Posey's spreadsheet says that a 305 kT ship will take 1% damage, but bigcanuknaz tested it and they take no damage, so obviously the rounding is different for the spreadsheet then in the game. My guess is 2% over rated mass - 1kT is safe (which does work out to 305 for a 300kT gate).

Be careful in testing distance. If the distance listed is 35.3 that could be 35.30 or 35.03, there is a bug in the display of distance.
