I've been trying to find out what the various ship weapon damage stats mean. I know they are different when docked, but even in space, there are two different reports. The first here shows from the ship layout over a phaser. This is not base, this is after consoles are added. Base is lower.

Now here is the same weapon moused over in the hot bar:

This is a difference of nearly 2x. This occurs on all ship weapons regardless of consoles. Is one not updated or is it something else?

Both space displays take into account the console boosters, if that's what you mean, so there is still a question of what is the difference.
Put your weapon power at max and then put your ship on Shields, and you will see a drastic difference in the damage of your beams.
The damage on the graphical layout (accessed by "U") reflects increase from booster consoles. This I know. Are you saying that this does not reflect the bonus from your characters' skills and that bonus is also added to the HUD?
