Planetary Combat Questions

Hey!
Needed some clarification on planetary torp damage.
1. When you scan a planet and see it's ratings, does that include the +1 bonus for having a base on the planet, or should you consider an additional level?
2. How does the planetary torpedo salvo get calculated? I thought it was based on the torpedo launcher level (i.e. up to 2% of the level value * 10 damage/torp), however I'm getting values higher than than when I test attack some planets. For example just attacked a planet with 50k torps on it and level 20 launchers and all 50k torps launched. I would have expected only like 3k torps launch and 30k damage if it followed ship rules (or * 1.45 more depending on answer to q1...). So what's the deal here?
Cheers!
