1)  Gunnery Strength Modifiers = Attacker's situation - "Attacker is not
targeted by an enemy vessel" suffer a -25%. Is this correct? and  why?

This is a typo.  It should say +25%.  The idea is that a ship's  fire is more
accurate when enemy fire is not interfering with crew  operations.

2)  Penatrations: do primary guns from 3/4 hexes penetrate light armor gun
boxes?

Yes.  The rules attempt to build in the penetration tendencies of  gunnery at
different ranges.  Shells tend to follow different arcs at  various ranges.
Penetration capability is greatest and short and long  ranges.  Thus, primary
guns penetration heavy armor at long and short  ranges.  At medium ranges,
primary guns can penetrate (what the game calls)  light armor, but not (what the
game calls) heavy armor.  There actually is  a considerable amount of math and
research that went into a fairly  simple-looking system.

Hope you enjoy it
