How can this be?

I already asked about the difference between armada and flotilla. I'm not sure why do we need to have both, a graph of one is basically stretched/squeezed graph of the other. But these three graphs do not make any sense at all. How come that the red had big flotilla/armada but have almost zero armada power? Are their armadas... defective?

Maybe tech level is taken into account the one for power, but the others are just number of flagships?

An armada's flotillas (that is, its flagships) don't contribute directly to its power.  The power numbers include only the squadrons aboard the flagships.  So if those armadas have taken horrendous losses and not been back at their own planets long enough to have their squadrons rebuilt then they're much less effective.

I agree that just calling it "armadas", "flagships", and "squadrons" would probably be clearer than the current approach.  I also think that having flagships be consistently counted as 10 squadrons for power computations (they are semi-counted that way in certain contexts) would make more sense.  But that stuff is up to Chris

Oh, also meant to add that if you want Chris to see something during this intense-work period, it'll need to go in mantis.
