why did my fleet power suddenly drop down?

[Benderbej]

Some crysis? Economics is fine.. I wonder/ What is the reason?

Did your fleet enter a Pulsar system? Pulsars negate all shields, and sometimes the UI glitches out and doesn't re-update your fleet's power when you leave the Pulsar system.

Were you running any of the combat edicts that use rare resources for a boost to shields/lasers/whatever?

Did you just move out of friendly territory and you have the Harmony Tradition that gives +Fire Rate in friendly territory? Do you have the Defense in Depth War Doctrine (policy) active?

Are you using any mods?

Seriously, if you want an intelligent answer, you'll need to provide more information than that.

[ppaladin123]

sometimes auto-best upgrades lower the fleet power number. Sometimes particular edicts that augment your fleet power expire. I think we'd need more information

nerf was ended when the war ended... May be it was cause of "war
weariness"? look like some crysis (every fleet was nerfed)

If it was an endgame crisis there is a debuff against any robots and Sapient Combat Computers.

Did you use your jump drive by any chance? doing so has a negative effect which causes your fleet power to go down for 200 seconds / game days I believe.

0) it was only the begining of the game - not endgame crysis
1) i had all the resources(to maintain the fleet) - not economical crysis
2) no hyper drives -i think - (first game years) - corvettes with simple weapons and drives only - not hyper drive debuff
3) this debuff had appeared soon after i attacked enemy transpots fleet
after it enemy warfleet appears but debuf was still remaining!!!(?Forced Disparity?)
4)i jumped to my home system to save the fleet, but debuff had been remaining untill my friend attacked my enemy and my war was ended.
5) i saw debuff effects in ships bonuses window(cost, green and red numbers) - that was too big - like -80 percent weapons, -70 percent shields et cetera (and power decreased from ~1500 to ~600 !!!)( war weariness ~50% was at this moment)

War exhaustion has zero impact on fleet power. Force disparity simply boosts the fire rate of the weaker side due to them having a target rich environment.

Everyone has hyperdrives, that is the basic drive system while Jump Drives are late game.

How about you list your mods? Because this doesn't sound like vanilla, shield debuffs do exist but it is either 20% from an enemy starbase with the right module or completely disabled by pulsars. I think Titans can carry a debuff module but you said it was early game.

no mods installed, only cosmetic DLCs, debuff appeared before jumping to home system... (debuf itself was the main reason to retreat from battle). System entered in regular way - through the coridors...

Did you run out of energy credits to pay the upkeep?

once, but at that moment solved it(with friend's help - balance was about 900 credits -37 per month, ), but then for 3-6 months later it had been nerfed, despite good situation with upkeeping the fleet

Might be the reason: I've seen one post mentioning that this debuff only refreshes on wars and other rare occasions since some update (likely result of optimization effort) - don't remember exact details.
