Cielo Command Cruiser's Designate Target ability is actually classified as a negative damage reduction. This acts as a damage scalar equivalent to the formula: 1/(1+damage_reduction). Since Designate target is a negative damage reduction the damage scalar is 1/(1-.4) = 1.666. This means that each attack on the target does 66% more damage, rather than the nominal 40% shown in the ability. This affects abilities as well and so is a good way to multiply the effect of strong abilities such as the Ragnarov Titan's Snipe or Kol Battleship's Gauss Rail Gun.
Bonus damage is still affected by armor and shield mitigation. For a target with 65% shield mitigation, Designate Target is equivalent to bypassing 23% of shield mitigation. For a target with 75% shield mitigation, it is equivalent to bypassing 16.5% of shield mitigation.
