So why do I get 80 deployment points in this fight? Seems absolutely stupid considering the magnitude of this fight.

Basically, it's a game-performance limitation.  There's a maximum battle size; how that gets divided between you and your opponent is based on relative fleet sizes - so if the enemy fleet is much larger than yours, you'll have a lower max deployment.

If you want to be able to deploy more (and think your computer can handle it), just increase the maximum battle size.  ...I don't remember where that's set, though.  It's probably either in-game somewhere or in settings.json?

Edit: Also, please spoiler-tag your images.

It's directly in the in-game settings.

Up to max of 500.  Probably good idea.  Maximums can be changed in the settings.json.  I tried 1000 (because 500 was not enough to deploy my whole fleet), but my carrier fleet choked the frame rate.  Even 500 features major slowdown if most of the ships are carriers.  A pity, because carriers are the most powerful ships in the game if played to their strengths (meaning AI controlled carriers may want more cowardly officers to run away from everything).

Thank you so much for this. I changed the settings.

I also must say that Starsector is a true gem. I have played it ten times more than some so called triple A games. The progression is also so nice to see, I come back to it like every half year or so for the new content.

Thank you all who made it possible I love it.
