That was quite a while ago...
I don't remember how exactly I got those numbers.

PSG: 375/40 = 9.375
StA: 100/30 = 3.333
ScA: 150/50 = 3.000

Lets see if I can't figure out what I was thinking...
Due to its use, it has to be related to the change in firepower required to kill your ship.

Perhaps a much simpler way would be to:
A) Use steps 1 and 2 to find out how much ammo the enemy will need to throw at you if you use shields.
B) Use steps 1 and 2 to find out how much ammo they have to use if you replace some shields with Stealth/Scattering armor.
C) The ship design which gives the bigger number is stronger.
