Protonic space weapons - 43% chance on crit to deal proton damage?

They list the 25% chance on crit four times, each with different damage. Two of them are vs voth, two are vs everything else, so in effect it's two 25% chances to proc on a crit.

Does it mean these weapons have a 43% chance to deal some proton damage when you crit and like a 6% chance that both of them will proc? (I'm terrible at probabilities but you get the idea).

It's a strange mechanic. Maybe it's a display error? Maybe it's not actually two separate and slightly different 25% chances but it's displaying that way for some reason?

I believe it is intended to be the following (as an example):

25% chance on crit to add BD (Bonus Damage) to target X. If target = Voth, do 2x BD. BD is applied directly to hull.

Yeah that's probably what's intended but it's not what's shown:

The ground weapons list the proper two procs but every space weapon lists four of those procs, each one different, and for some reason the two listed below the -25 power drain proc are lower damage than the top two.

Like I said it's strange.

It's also showing the same thing for all my characters so I can rule out a specific piece of equipment or set bonus that might be causing it, because each character has different equipment and reputation sets.

Typical display issue, it occurs often from time to time, they are supposed to have only the single 25% chance for either or, and not both!

In other words, if it is WAI, it is 1 roll @ 25% chance no matter the enemy type, dmg is applied accordingly to what enemy type is being dealt with.

Lol then which damage set is correct? They're both different.
