Religious? This guy probably has a War Shrine, which will drop the 100% defensive bonus down to 95%, maybe even 90% ...Sure, having him miss 9/10 shots is good, but having him miss 99/100 shots is so much sweeter

So, the uber-defense ships (if you finally get around to making them) ought to get some training...your Psychic Ship training facilities (which IIRC, train all ships in the system) should do nicely.

By the way - what are your Culture, Traits, and Characteristics, and what are the Culture & Traits of "Hippo"?
