Tracking Disruptor Maths

I recently trained Amarr Cruiser to IV on my way to a Pilgrim/Curse and I decided to take a look at the base hull. Naturally, I wanted to see how good TDs could be. ATM, I get a base TD effectiveness of -24.1 with a Balmer or T2 in the hull, and scripts double that to -48.2.

1. Am I correct in that if I have two TDs in the hull with range scripts, the target's turret range is reduced by (48.2 + (48.2 * 0.869)) = 90.08% ?

2. With some training I can get my base TD effectiveness up to -27.7, or -55.5 with scripts (chose an arbitrary skill level for fun). Would that then mean that with two TDs I can reduce the target's turret range by (55.5 + (55.5 * 0.869)) = 103.73% ?

2a. Does that render the target's turrets completely useless?

If my math is right, and it always is, you're effectively reducing their turret optimal to 20.191% of original range with current skills.
Modifiers are multiplicitave.
Original*Modifier1*(Modifier2*0.869)=ModifiedRange

Awesome, thanks for the help.

I believe falloff is not affected by tracking disruptors.

You are incorrect. Do a "show info" on any tracking disruptor in game. At the bottom it will have an "Optimal Range Bonus" at some negative percentage and a "Falloff Bonus" with the same negative percentage. both of these factors are affected by optimal range disruption scripts.

That's only NPC tracking disruptors.

Ah, my mistake then.
