Are we looking at something different? None of those stats matter for autoresolve. They used to way back, but now it's all based on FP. Unless I'm way, way mistaken about this somehow?
Edit: some of these *do* matter in terms of how much damage the ships suffer from autoreslove (good shields = less damage taken), but they don't affect the *strength* of the ships, or who wins a given engagement.
I have been looking at
protected FleetAutoresolveData computeDataForFleet(CampaignFleetAPI fleet)
and
protected FleetMemberAutoresolveData computeDataForMember(FleetMemberAPI member)
and at least that part of the autoresolve has a "shield ratio" that looks at hull and shield, that result in a ratio around 0.5 for ships that have fragile hulls due to their reliance on boosted venting instead of passive dissipation.
I also have been looking at
public static float getMemberStrength(FleetMemberAPI member, boolean withHull, boolean withQuality, boolean withCaptain)
output, and it is also very weak for those ships.
Here are some example.
My faction's best capital ship (that in part relies on modules though):
My faction's mainline cruiser:
My faction's typical 200FP fleet:
Compared to an Onslaught:
A Dominator:
or a Mora:
Makes a typical 200FP Hegemony fleet come at:
And even cheating in the fleet doctrine as such
"factionDoctrine":{
"warships":4,
"carriers":3,
"phaseShips":0,
"officerQuality":5,
"shipQuality":5,
"numShips":5,
"shipSize":4,
"aggression":2,
Still produces weaker fleets, albeit less so: between 500 to 750 fleet strength versus 1000-1300 for the enemy, both 200FP fleets.
[edit] Boosting the fleetpoints a bit and setting the fleet doctrine to 10/10/10 does seems to put them in a right spot for the auto-resolve, but I don't like how it will affect the player battles with so many high level officers.
[edit2] It occurred to me that fleets that have a low "quality" multiplier get de-buffed twice because their ships usually have Dmods that also reduce the fleet strength. Maybe that's something worth checking out if it is working as intended.
