I just checked my SCM combat log for a CCA run, and, to my great dismay, I noticed the hitrate of my Isolytic Plasma beams was... 67%! You gotta be frakkin' kidding me?! I have a 66.3 accuracy rating on this ship, natively! (As seen in stats, sans buffs) That can't be right. I know they nerfed acc on FAW, but a 66.3 acc rating should have more than compensated for that.
What the heck did they do!?

You may be on to something. Astute observations!
Just went to the Terran BZ (for the Endeavor), and hitrate was like the usual high 99.85%. So, this may indeed be just a specific CE deal, where certain things are perhaps not counted as hits.
They have an issue where they can become pretty much completely unhittable. It happens on FAW and Scatter Volley alike.
I went in with my Scimitar running CSV III with tons of extra accuracy. I lined up a field of about 6-8 shards, opened fire for a good 10 seconds and missed every single one. It was actually quite funny.. but yeah, those things are broken big time.
I have had the same issue with FAW and CSV, sometimes the shards just simply cannot be hit. It doesn't seem to happen during the fight, but once the Entity dies, the shards left behind are just better left alone. If I target one and don't use FAW or CSV I can hit them much better, but they seem to be completely unaffected by anything AOE. You miss them no matter what your accuracy rating.
Thanks for the detailed explanation.
I jumped the gun a bit on this one, but for a moment I thought maybe they had fixated acc on BFAW, to always suck. Good thing that's not the case.
Given how frequently they like to nerf things in this game for no apparent reason, I would say you were justified in your assumption.
Relevant for what? they're just after effects that you can shoot for petty salvage rewards.
They're about as 'relevant' as the empty space that surrounds them.
