I am sifting through all the enhancements and just wanted to mension that enhancements do not have enough detail to say what they actually do.
For example Advanced defence upgrade and Advanced defence power. They both increase defence by 6% but they are different and yet no one knows why they are different. Instead of just saying "defence 6%" it should say "maximum HP 6%" or "armour recharge rate 6%" or somthing to explain what exactly it is. The weapon versions aren't too clear aswell. Only the movement versions are perfectly clear because they say "turning" and "speed" instead of '6% increase'.

I think defence +x% reduces the amount of damage you take from a weapon hit by that amount.
Not that I don't agree with you that enhancements could possibly do with some rewording.

Your reply doesn't make sense, both enhancements have defence in their name but obviously they do somthing different.

They both do the same thing. They used to do different things but they were adjusted to the same values because otherwise Def Mode would be ridiculously good.
The reason there's two different enh is so that players who already had the Defence Power upgrades didn't suddenly lose them.
AFAIK

One should note that if two enhancements both say "+x% to ", it means that they do exactly the same thing.
I notice that that has only the slightly more enlightening term "+x% to armour and shield".
Should that have "hitpoints" added onto the end, by any chance?

Defense power used to increase regen rate, but it was changed to do the same thing as defense upgrade.
