Default Re: overlapping fleets?

Strongest means one of two things (nothing to do with resource cost):
Has the most hit points
or
Can do the most damage (possibly with to hit chances factored in)

I believe it is the second one.

G) We are allowed a selection of four of the above. What Algorithym does the computer use in selecting its target? For example, let’s say I select A, B, C, D in that order. Does it assign 40% to A, 30% to B, 20% to C and 10% to D with the enemy ship which has the greatest percentage is the selected target? Or is some other algorithym at work?
It goes in order. It finds all ships that meet A, then of those, what meets B? Then C, then D, and then random if there is more than one ship left to pick from.
