This is innacruate, enemy missile fire from different salvo's will target different ships in your fleet 1 large target will not absorb all the fire.
Active sensors will target the largest ship: this opens up opportunities for deception: simply create a huge armored commercial ship with a bunch of CIWS.
I'm not sure if the AI uses heat, but if it does, you can keep 1 huge ship with very powerful engines in the fleet. And if the most powerful active scanners are put there, there will also be deception of EM missiles.
Maybe we could have missiles that produce a large thermal or radar signature for a short period to try to trick incoming missiles.Basically flares.
Just a thought:)
