Fleets Losing against weaker fleets
Okay so im in the middle of a war, and I decide to destroy an enemy fleet that was bordering me. given that I was attacking there two 4k power fleets against my two 15k power fleets, i figured I would be fine. All of the sudden there 8k fleet power starts to annihilate my 30k power fleet. I am so confused and angry about this. Can someone explain this to me? (each of there fleets had 10 cruisers, 5 destroyers, and 16 corvettes)

they might have had a build that beat your ship design just like how you can beat crisis fleet by building ship that counter their ship build

Did you check to make sure your ships were firing? Because sometimes my ships won't even attack enemies. E.g. I had 40 cruisers in one battle, enemy had about 5-7 destroyers, and 13-15 corvettes and the enemies were just hammering away at my cruisers while they (my cruisers) just sat there doing nothing, not even firing back. I lost 14 cruisers before I noticed.

It isn't an intentional thing. It's a bug that happens sometimes.

Aside from bug (but almost 100% sure it isn't happen in your case - it's affecting FLEET, and I never heard that TWO fleets get it in same time), it's very possible:

1) Your fleets are mixed one so it's very high chance that your designs aren't optimal too.

2) Fleet power is very misleading. For example - upgrade from tiyanki beam + 2 blue lasers to autocannon + 2 plasma = is shown like REDUCTION of fleet power. While in reality those corvettes get much, much more power.

Strongest "trap" is electrocutting BB (arc emiiter + cloud lighting). Their fleet power is small, but their real fire power ...

3) You may miss enemy upgraded starbase. It can help them too.

Pay attention that smaller fleets vs bigger fleets get firepower buffs up to 100%

Not since 2.2... at least, it's not listed anywhere in game.
