Is the Risa Corvette bugged?

I recently got my Risa corvette (and can finally put that saccharine island of the damned to my rudder!), and now for the experimenting!

I've been building a ship based around Defence value for some time. So you can see why I'd be interested in the Risa corvette. On a Defiant at full throttle without any buffs I'm running a 90% defence.
Then I saw the Risa corvette, "want that!" thinks I.

Well today I got it, transferred all my gear across and whacked the engines into drive. 90% with a Defiant, all I got was 95% bonus defence, no matter where I had the power setting. down at a minimum of 18, 95%, up at full beans 95%.

This seems odd considering the stats of the corvette, which is listed as:
Increased Defense based on speed, up to +15%

http://sto.perfectworld.com/news/?p=925601

In a test right now.
Impulse 53.something: 95% defence
Impulse 25.something: 95% defence

So how fast do I need to be going to get the +15%?

    From my experience the defense doesn't start decreasing until you are less than 24 impulse

    Isn't there a hard cap on defense values?

    Not sure as I sit at about 97.6% defense at 60 engpwr, never paid it much mind at higher engpwr, but I do know once I hit evasive maneuvers it skyrockets to 135%. Now mind you some of the ui screen numbers don't update correctly when changing a setting like subsyst pwr, so be sure to on/off ui info for it to correctly display up to date numbers for you.

    There is a cap on how much defense can be derived from ship speed. However, there is no cap on how much defense can be combined from other sources (ship type, boff traits, boff abilities etc.).

    Makes sense. Escorts usually get a 10% defense bonus. The risa ship gets 15%. You went from 90 in your old ship to 95 in your new. Seem right? Or am i missing something?

    yeah, pretty much, its 85% without +def items/boffs.

    Just out of interest, how did you get to 97.6? I'm guessing Romulan BOFF's?

    Never heard of an escort getting a 10% bonus. Small craft (IE: Fighters) do I believe though. My numbers tallied without that ten % though.
    65%: engines
    10%: elusive
    10% Aegis set
    =85%, and I had maxed out relevant captain skills, which accounts for the missing 5%.

    Non-escorts get a maximum of 60% defense (with maximum skill points in Starship Maneuvering Thrusters). Escorts get 70% defense. With the Elusive trait, it goes to 80%.

    If you go with all purple Subterfuge boffs from the Embassy, you can get 18.75% defense added to that.

    So, if you go:
    9 points Maneuvering Thrusters and impulse speed above 24 (70%)
    Elusive trait (10%)
    5x Subterfuge boffs, purple (18.75%)

    You can get 98.75%.

    If you add:
    Aegis set (10%)
    Piloting a Risan Corvette (5%)

    You can get 113.75% defense.
