Chance Elite, Chance Command, or Normal

First, no I'm not back, but I'm still lurking.......

Ok, I hinted out this in the fleet breakdown this weekend, there is a "new" feature (how new no idea, may have been there months and months and months) where there is a chance that when you attack the fleet that it could spawn the normal ship, a command version of it, or an elite version of it.

Here are 2 examples.

This first one is assuming that it spawned the normals for everything

So speed and turning are faster, but resistance is down.  Ballistic reload is 50% higher on one and 75% higher on the other, so a nice increase in ballistic damage.

But both of these were 100% chance for either elite or command on the ones they triggered.  So there should have been no variation from hit to hit, compared to others that are 50% chance of elite, 50% chance of command.  Now I assume the logic there is 50% chance is normal or elite, if it rolls normal it then does 50% chance of command, but that is just my guess........
