I don't think this is accurate.

Twice, I gated 500 39kt scouts 1250.67ly as a non-IT race through IT gates (inf/300 on both ends). I gated them as 500 separate fleets. Each time, each ship had 75% damage. There was no random variation in amount of damage.

There is not supposed to be a variation in the amount of damage. The only practical difference is that IT races never ever lose ships to the void while non-IT races have a chance to lose ships to the void.

Chances to lose ships to the void increase exponentially both for over distances and over weight and of course increase as you increase distance and weight over the "safe" limits. This mean that you have a way higher chance of losing ships if you go over both and minimize risk by going over only one of those two factors.

IT races only have to bother with damage. And there is always the possibility to use the repair after gating trick if you have an SFX or another fleet at destination.
