40  - `laserFC` = sum of per-laser contributions (OPERATIONAL: +2, DAMAGED: +1, CRITICAL/DESTROYED: 0)
41  - `crewFC` = floor(sum of per-crew contributions) (OPERATIONAL: +1, DAMAGED: +0.5, CRITICAL/DESTROYED: 0)
42  - `barracksBonus` = 1 if Elite Barracks module installed, else 0
43  - `tacticianBonus` = 2 if Combat Tactician specialist aboard, else 0
