Weird fleets on missions

[The-Joe]

I don't always understand how the mission fleets are put in order, and how the results are calculated.

example: 10 fleets mission - i destroy 4 fleets - outcome- i have destroyed 5% of the enemy fleet.

My fleets are in order of the power, i suppose the mission fleets should be in the same order so at 10 fleets minimum fleet power layout should be:
1. 10%, 2. 10.... 10. 10% so minimum fleet power destroyed should have been 40%

So i suppose outcome is not determined by fleet power destroyed but by other indicator, probably fleet cost. so cost could easily be:
1.1% 2.1% ........10.90% if fleet 10 is a total  design (very expensive low power ship).

Am i close?

You probably destroyed the four weaker ships.  If you destroyed the first four strong ships then you have to look at the % of power, it will also tell you how much power you destroyed.  If you destroyed the top four most powerful ships but there are like 20 different fleets it might not do much damage.

Can the first four fleets in a mission be the weakest?????

[Silverthorne]

sometimes it can be depending on the type of ships - swarm, powership, etc.

also the number of ships in a fleet make a difference as well

Pst round when I did missions with 8 ships, I had completely destroy the first 9 fleets, lost nothing, but only the last 10 th fleet had anypower :S

that's why you should put your swarm fleets first(trainee)
then your medium ships(baracuda mk1)
then your large ships(borg cubes)
then your @#$%! ships(extremely powerful designed ship)
