Ship percentage values

from Sins Forums

I am new to this game so forgive my ignorance if there is a simple answer to this.

During a battle it is possible to select a fleet by clicking on the bar either to the left or right of a planet and above the action bar a screen displays the type of ships, how many of each and two percentage figures to the right of each type of ship listed.

Can someone please explain what these percentage figures mean as I've read the manual and searched on-line and can't find an explaination anywhere.

hull strength and shield strength.  the blue one is shields

I am pretty sure that the numbers reflect the lowest strength ship in each group

Sorry but now I'm more confused. The percentage figures I refer to arn't shown in blue only red, green and amber.

For instance say I have 10 LRM frigates which start off as; the 1st % value = 100% and the 2nd = 100% both green. Then the 2nd 100% may change to say 50% and go amber. At some point the 1st % figure changes too both in colour and in value. I don't know what this is telling me?

If it were just 1 ship perhaps hull and shields but it refers to a collection of ships. At one point I had 80 of the same type of ship and both % values to the right of the 80 ships changed continiously.

Thanks for your prompt reply but I still don't understand.

It's the average hull and shield strength of all of the units.

I thought it was as greyfox said also.

The percentage on the left is hull, and that on the right is shield.  The colors of the percentages change depending on the value (ex: as the value becomes lower it gets redder).
