I tried looking on the wiki but couldn't find anything regarding the specifics of damage calculations. How exactly do the stats of a weapon interact with the stats of a crew member/ ship?

There are 3 types of damage types in ship to ship combat. Each damage type is rolled separately, and goes through its own pipeline.

Soaking Damage

Whenever a character takes damage in a Crew Combat, their Armor, attributes, and resistances, may soak (reduce) some of that damage.

AFAIK, and I'm not an authority on this by any means, the crew stats might help determine if the weapon hits but don't directly increase damage. Once it has hit, the damage is calculated purely based upon the weapon's stats, any ship stats from components that might modify crit, standard damage, added radiation or void damage and any activated talents which might modify crit, std dmg, etc.

#

Also, some debuffs the enemy ship might have from crippling hits and talents could increase damage they receive.
