I can see your argument and you do bring up a valid point regarding history. I can see it happening every now and then but not every single day. That's all Im trying to say. I just think the system is somewhat flawed. Like the OP said, what's the point of leveling gear and using resources to "improve" your fleet if the game allows someone who is far behind to just beat you?
One problem here is the power rating which completely fails to account for synergy between characters / ships. Not really surprising: with all the variables in play that is impractical if not impossible to do programmatically.
Those same variables make it difficult for a simple game AI to outmatch a Human and PVP in this game is really just PVE against a team picked by a Human.
I see similar things in Squad Arena where my mixed team needs a 20% power advantage vs high synergy teams like Phoenix and in fleet arena where my high synergy team and beat higher-powered teams.
But that synergy - certain character / ship combos working very well together is an intentional part of the game's design.
