Suggestions / Display numerical value for expected force needed for a raid and 100% success

1. I'm trying to steal fullerene spool from a planet, but It's impossible to know how many marines I am supposed to bring
The raid interface doesn't say much
The dialog has a "ground defense strength" value, which when compared against my "raid strength" look like an equivalent for archiving the objective, but I'm speculating and I don't believe it's explained anywhere
There should be numerical indication to how many marines are expected to fulfill the objective in the current condition instead of somewhat confusing "7 marine figures"
2. Hard requirement for archiving the raid goal and AFAIK 100% chance of success feel as a bad system. As far as I understand, there is some kind of hard limiting requirement for the marine count to archive the raid goal, so expected outcome is always binary.
In other words, it's strange that 100 marines are 100% successful at something, which 99 marines will always fail at.
I think it would be interesting to have success scaled with relation to forces with something like a logarithmic function
