So i just noticed when i bought and equiped it, it claims 15% kenetic and Energy reduction. But my stats only say 13%. looks buged imo.

Nah I would say its a bug too.
The way i understand it you only get a lower percentage if you stack consoles.
Why would they even write 15% on it if you can never get that much.
One of my bridge officers is wearing armor with 12% kinetic/12% physical resist. Looking at his status screen, display resist is 10.5% for each.
My own character is wearing armor with 10% kinetic/10% physical resist, display is 9.4%. Equipped a different armor with 19% kinetic/physical resist (because I got it as a mission reward and forgot to equip it anyway), status screen showed 15.8%.
Unequipped my armor to make sure there wasn't a mysterious second resist in place. No armor: status screen shows 0% resistance.
Went into a system with my ship and started hitting my abilities that added resistance, one at a time, with no resistance console equipped.
Hazard Emitters - Tooltip: 30% - Status screen: 22.9%.
Engineering team - Tooltip: 22% - Status screen: 18.2%.
Brace For Impact - Tooltip: 55% kinetic resist - Status screen: 34.8% kinetic resist.
I'm pretty sure this is working as intended, but if it's not, it probably applies to every single resistance-granting ability and piece of equipment in the game.
If i stack two consoles fine, but if I use a console that shows 15% i want that 15% not 13%.
If the Console shows 13% then give me 13&.
Actual Buff = 100*(1 - (100/(100+(Sum of listed buffs))))
So you lose even at 5%:
COMBINED BUFF %: ACTUAL BUFF %:
5 4.76
10 9.09
15 13.04
20 16.67
25 20.00

35 25.93
40 28.57
45 31.03
50 33.33
55 35.48
60 37.50
65 39.39
70 41.18
75 42.86
80 44.44
85 45.95

A tooltip that reflected diminishing returns would be difficult, because the tooltip value would change based on your current resistance values. I.E. if you had no resistance console equipped before hand, your Neutronium Console would reflect an entirely different value than if you did have a resistance console equipped, and the value would be completely dependent on how much value was on the already-existing console.
But what if you want to swap out consoles, rather than stack them? Then you get the issue of "well, my tooltip said I'd get x% resistance, but I got more than that." And THEN there's the fact that a lot of abilities further add resistance, which would further mess with tooltips.
Better that item/ability tooltips have a static value (or semi-static, since abilities can be affected by skills and other abilities) than the chaos that would ensue if they reflected their actual value.
No, this is called ********. I was pretty damn disappointed when I bought an Assault Cruiser and got me some Neutroniums. I find the first one gives only 11% despite saying 13 or 15% or some ****. Then the one after that only gives me like 6%, which is less than half. W-T-F am I going to do with 17% resists to phasers and disruptors? It's a stupid equation and needs to be removed.
If they're worried about unlimited stacking, hardcap it at 50% or 70%, but don't have people buying **** that gives less than what you paid for.
Because nothing is usually as powerful as is claimed. Except c0~r$@ir psu's.
Points as just skill point amount.
Please check them informations again.
