I was going to report this as a bug, but first I wanted to double check if I'm just simply misunderstanding something.

Big asteroids are listed as having "2000/10% physical resistance". And huge asteroids are listed as having "3000/10% physical resistance". Surely this is a typo, right? Or does this actually mean something that is mechanically different from "100% resistance"?

The number before the slash is a flat damage reduction.

So for example for the one with 2000/10% if you shoot it with something that does 2100 damage you will only do 90 damage in total.

Check out the railgun ammo's damage too.

A/B% [damage type] resistance should be read this way :
Upon receiving [damage type] damage, first substract a flat A from the initial damage, then remove B% from whatever is remaining, and what you have left is how many hit points are removed.
