How do damps and optimal range work? For example, if the optimal range is 90k, what happens if you target someone at say 20k? Does the strength of the damp decrease?

Dampener effect is binary, it's either on or off.

A module has a 100% chance to hit from 0km to its optimal range. At optimal + falloff the chance to hit drops to 50% and at optimal + 2x falloff it is roughly 0%.

This means that at optimal + falloff there is a 50% chance that the module will fail and do nothing.

EVE is what happens when the rule of law does not apply and Darwinism is allowed to run freely.
