1. What is the purpose of having more Melee Defense or Ranged Defense.
2. Does it lower the amount of damage taken?
3. What is the benefit of getting more defense?
These may be noob questions, but I don't know where to look for information on this.

Ranged defense increases the chance of you being missed by a ranged attack (rifles, pistols, etc)
Meleedefense increases the chance of you being missed by a melee attack (swords, polearms, etc)
The max of each that you can have is +125, either by skills or skill tapes (these are looted items)
Ranged and Melee Defense are also tied to he attackers accuracy in their weapon, If you have +125 ranged defense and a pistoleer only has +20 pistol accuracy, then they will have a hard time hitting you.
There are some formulas floating around that give you a % to be hit based on your defense and attackers accuracy.

It should be noted that Squal Leader bonuses go on top of the 125 (right?)
