Text Bug: in description for Titanium System Casing

The description reads:
All ship systems have additional plating that provide a 15 percent change to negate damage when hit (hull will still be damaged)
There are two errors:
1) "plating that provide " should be "plating that provide
s "
2) "15 percent change" should be "15 percent chan
ce"

1) The sentence is correct. "All ship systems...provide a 15 percent..." The plating is irrelevant.
2) good catch. You are right

I disagree.
It is the plating that is proving the 15 percent bonus, and as there are multiple platings (one for each system) they should be referred to in the plural.
Though I'm not a grammar aficionado, so my logic might be flawed.

While "All ship systems..." refers to pluralized systems, the "additional plating" does not have to. Additional plating, singular, provide
s a 15 percent chance to negate damage.
But, you know, whatever.
