hi all,
please have a look at the following combat.
Interpid counterattacked me (Utopia).
In the first turn 310 of my Strafez Queen (Range 8) does 310*700=217000 Damage
on 31 of Interpids Nirvana Dreadnought (Range 6). The Nirvana Dreadnought have
a Defense Modifier of "Ionized Hull - 60 %".
This let me assume that Nirvana has only shilding of 8000 (instead of 20000)
when fighting against Strafez Queen. Finally 217000/8000 = 27,125
So 27 Nirvana Ships must suffer in the first strike, but there was only 19
fallen during the entire fight.
What ist wrong ?

Intrepid counter-attacked you. Attack was successful !

Also, your calcs are wrong. Shield modifiers affect the damage of your queens, not the hull of the nirvanas.

So... 800 damage x 1.6 = 396,800 damage

Nirvana hull = 20,000

396,800 damage / 20,000 = 19.84 nirvanas (round down to 19) killed in first strike, before they wipe the queens

You`re all wrong!

ok, maybe he/she attacked in "cautious mode". but this is not shown to me and therefore I only can guess.
Could it be possible to show more battle statistics like in so many good RPG`s, I loved it.
Without them I only can learn by try and error, also the walkthroughs are not complete/clear to beginners.

large hull ships do better in lower attack modes since you don`t need much damage to take out a small hull ship but if a ship does less damage it becomes increasingly hard to take out the larger hull ships. this is why guardians almost always use normal and careful when attacking. try your calculations using normal and careful and see then if it works out correctly

@Luthor: Yes thats true, but if Interpid attacked in other then normal mode, hi/she would caught more damage:
"The second advantage is the attitude of the ships. The higher the aggressiveness of the
attacking fleet, the more losses the attacking fleet will incur. This is following a rule of
charge. When an attacking fleet charges while the defending fleet is entrenched, then the
advantage goes to the entrenched fleet. A more cautious attitude may result will reduce
this advantage factor.
Attitude Defender Attacker
Cautious - 50% - 50%
Normal - 5%
Aggressive + 99% + 75
"
Is there an other eplanation?

also you need to factor in his attack mode. if he used careful or normal or agressive
