Ships Basic question

I think ships with multiple crew receive less of a boost per each character updated. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but a fully leveled single character will increase a ships strength just as much as 2 or more fully loaded characters when it has more crew. At least that's what I think I've seen.

These ships battles need reworked very badly! How does someone with 120,000 fleet power lose to someone with 112,000 with the same ships, but win against someone else that has 126,000 and the same ships? This continues to happen day in and day out. Almost our whole guild just pushes auto now because of how messed up those battles are. They were fun at 1st, guess it was beacause it was something different to do but now it's just aggravating

It's most likely due to the combination of strategy, RNG, and bad AI.

A while back I used to be at around 100k power and I'm up there fighting in the top 50s with 120k power. I knew how the AI reacted to my attacks so I pretty much had an advantage every fight (only with Akbar capital ships). I've noticed I've been dropping ranks now if I'm not keeping up with the power levels.

Edit: RNG can be extremely ridiculous sometimes. I had a fight where it was down to 3 ships vs 1 and I lost because he dodged 6-7 attacks in a row ... in a row.... without dodge up, needless to say I didn't do any fleet battles the rest of the day
