Ineffectiveness rule
Any strike from a ship with a weapon rating which is less than or equal to 1% of the shielding capacity of the target is absorbed with no effect on the target. As an example, suppose a player with a Weapons Tech of 12 attacks a player with a Shield Tech of 9, and in the battle one of the attacker's Artemis Class Fighters targets the defender's Large Decoy. The fighter would have a weapon rating of 110 (50 + 5 * 12). The Large Decoy would have shield rating of 19,000 (10,000 + 1,000 * 9). Since 110 is less than 190 (1% of 19,000), the Artemis Fighter would do no damage; that shot is ineffective. Furthermore, it is essentially impossible that an attacker could research their Weapons Tech high enough that an Artemis would ever damage a Large Decoy. However, some units have base weapons ratings which are equal to 1% of other units' base shield ratings; in these cases the respective weapon and shield tech levels come into play.
