The stacking penalty should be being applied from highest to smallest doc. Th following should be the correct equation:
(50 GÇó .9) GÇó (1 - .25) GÇó (1 - (.869GÇó.20)) = 27.88425
CCP rounds up at .60, making the end total 28 dB.

"Individual bonuses: -20.00%, -21.73%, Total bonus: -37.38% Calculate Bonus [edit]Formula Preliminary tests indicated that Dust 514 also uses the same formula as EVE, shown below: S(n) = 0.5^[((n-1) / 2.22292081) ^2] n = the nth module added S = stacking effect for this particular module addition Module bonuses are ordered from highest to lowest, thus giving you the maximum bonus." except that in the case of profile dampeners, they don't.
The only need there would be to order modules from lowest to highest would be for module effects that apply a negative effect, such as the speed penalty for armor plates or the delay penalty for shield extenders. CCP was priviously calculating the armor plates in this fashion, but as of 1.7 this is no longer being done for some reason.
The reason this should be like this is because with deminishing returns one needs to decide whether they are going to calculate their returns to be either high or low (.i.e highest to lowest or lowest to highest mod first). If one chooses high returns, then for positive effects, like damage mods or profile dampeners, the highest mod should be taken into account first; conversely, with Nagative effects, like shield extenders and armor plates, the lowest mod should be taken into acount first. This produces high returns across the board, with both nagative and positive effects. As well, if one wants to have low returns then the reverse of the above is true.
If this is not being put into practice by CCP, then someone at CCP failed math and needs to go back to school.
