Default Giving Strategy to Mutenied Ship Question and Wierd Combat Out Come Question

Anybody here know how to give a "strategy" to a ship I successfuly "crew insurrected". They finaly saw they were going to lose and mutined. Craven dogs, (Toltayan).
If I don't give it a strategy it will glass a planet that it is sitting over. I have "fleeted" it with itself and give the fleet a strategy. Will that be enough?

2nd quesiton:
A different Toltayan DN whoes craven crew mutenied was in a fight with a a loyal Toltayan DN.
The Craven ship had 3 drones
The Loyal ship had lots of Plama Missle V's.
Combat Replay:
None of the Craven's drones hit in the combat replay.
The Crave was hit by at least 15 PMs
The Loyal ship took 50 percent damage. They fought again same results.
This took place at a warp point.

I have saved the files

Any ideas folks?

"The Loyal ship took 50 percent damage. They fought again same results."

It was marked as 50% damaged both times?

If so, what you're actually seeing is prior damage. If a ship goes into combat missing half it's components, it's marked as 50% damaged even if it comes out without taking any fire at all. 50% damage is an indication of the ship health overall, not the damage recieved.

Phoenix-D , thanks.
That makes sence.

I finaly figured out why the I did not take damage. 1200 shield points. Doing the math,
PMs were fired from 19, (that is a correction) squares away.
1200 Shield
Divided by:
40 pts damage X 15 PMs
600 total points
Mea Culpa. I guess I should have gotton more sleep.

Thanks again folks.

I knew I did not want to ask this quesiton. * head hung in feigned embarrasment *

As for the first one try and figure out what its strat was before it mutinied then make that strat not ignore fleet strats and tell it to join a fleet with "dont' get hurt" or whatever you want.

Skulky,
That worked. Since it was a Carrier it was using "Point Blank".I set that to don't fire on planets.
I need to get more sleep. Like that will happen.
