The ship on the left in the first picture is at 30% CR, and starts off with exactly 50% during the simulation. It is freshly bought, not having seen any combat yet. The two ships to the right of that are both at 7% (in the fleet window), and both came out of an earlier battle. Both of those suffer critical malfunctions... in a simulation. Not sure if that's intended, so I figured I'd make a topic for it!
All three of these ships are from the Valkyrians mod, running in Exerelin as usual.
