Post subject: Space and ground combat

Hello I am a new player in the P4 universe. I already made some experience by participating in a game of P4. Reading the Wiki once again, I became aware of the fact that I did not understand some crucial things related to space- and ground combat. Perhaps someone of you could share her/his experience with me:
1. How do the ship's hull parameters "attack bonus" and erasive bonus" have an impact on space combat? From the Wiki I learned - in case I understood correctly - that ships having large attack bonuses have advantages using low-accuracy weapons. More the "pOdds" of hitting a ship and avoiding point defences are effected? It would be most helpful if somebody could be so kind to clarify the impact of these parameters.
2. The Wiki-page "point defenses" gives some code on avoiding the fire of large weapons. In the code it says: "If Ship Attack > 100". What is meant by "ship attack"? Attack bonus of the ship? Accuracy of the weapon used?
3. On the page 'Ground combat battle losses' the code is given to calculate attack and defense power of ground units. Two eventmodifiers (1 & 2) are used. What are these modifiers? How can I calculate or select them?
4. Finally, the calculation of the propability that a ship will hit a minefield which it is crossing includes the parameter "stealth rating". What exactly is stealth rating? Is this the sensor image or the warpsigniture of a hull? How to estimate it?

I hope that somebody support me to become a better player. Many thanks in advance,
MoonChild
