by relative number of the different ships (which is what it is currently)
by relative value, and by relative armour.
Which would be preferable?
If someone's willing to explain a system that's related to what Sov suggested above, I'm willing to attempt to code it. :-)

Of the three I vote value.
Simply because a ship's value comes from its cost, and the costs are generally a better representation of 'danger'
The following explanation is understandably
very confusing and complex -- Appocomaster
SHOULD be able to follow it, and if he's interested he knows how to contact me/introduce it.
For the rest of you :
It deals damage to the ships based on their value, but if the damage dealt is greater than the armour available to reduce by, the excess damage is moved to a new variable named 'unused' and this 'unused' potential is used on the next ship etc... going down through every intiative, updating throughout!

Through a coding perspective:
(in this example all 3 ships are imaginary, all are the same class and target the same target (themselves))
=sum(cumulative armour of ships attacking)
e.g. 1000 ship2(5arm-1dmg-init2)
9000 ship1(2arm-2dmg-init3)
(9000*2 + 1000*5) = 23,000
=sum(cumulative armour of ships defending)
e.g. 1000 ship1(2arm-1dmg-init2)
2000 ship3(3arm-3dmg-init1)
(1000*2 + 2000*3) = 8,000
=sum(individual armour of ships attacking)
e.g. 9000 ship1(2arm-1dmg-init2) = 9000*2 = 18,000
1000 ship2(5arm-2dmg-init3) = 1000*5 = 5,000
=sum(individual armour of ships defending)
e.g. 1000 ship1(2arm-1dmg-init2) = 1000*2 = 2,000
2000 ship3(3arm-6dmg-init1) = 2000*3 = 6,000
(giving...)
Then by initiative...
Init 1
=sum(cumulative damage dealt by attackers)
Attackers init 1 = None
=sum(cumulative damage dealt by defenders)
e.g. Defenders init 1 = Yes (ship3)
2000 x ship3 (6dmg)=2000*6= 12,000
=sum(value attacking per ship at this initiative remaining)
e.g. 9000 ship1(value=2) || 1000 ship2(value=4)
(9000*2 + 1000*4) = 22,000
=sum(value defending per ship at this initiative remaining)
e.g. 1000 ship1(value=2) || 2000 ship3(value=6)
(1000*2 + 2000*6) = 14,000
=percentage per ship of value attacking/defending
Attack:
ship1=18,000/22,000=82%
ship2=4,000/22,000=18%
Defence:
ship1=2,000/14,000=14%
ship3=12,000/14,000=86%
=armor loss = (%age of value this init * defender damage dealt this init)
e.g. No defender is hit
=armor loss if statements= (%age of value this init * defender damage dealt this init)
unused = 0
9,000 x ship1 = 82% || 82% of 12,000 = 9,840 damage dealt
9,000 x ship1 = 9,000 armour
=if damage dealt > armour available
difference = 9,840 - 9,000 = 840 (true)
=true -- if(difference>0) (840) add to 'unused'
e.g. unused = 0 + 840 = 840
ship1=0
=false -- (individual ship1 armour - damage dealt)/ship1 armour stat
1,000 x ship2 = 18% || 18% of 12,000 = 2,160 damage dealt + unused
= 2,160 + 840 = 3,000 damage dealt
unused = unused - 840 (just redistributed) = 0
1,000 x ship2 = 5,000 armour
=if damage dealt > armour available
difference = 3,000 - 5,000 = -2000 (false)
=true -- if(difference>0) (0) add to 'unused'
=false -- (individualship1 armour - damage dealt)/ship1 armour stats
e.g. (5000 - 3000) = 2000
2000 / 5 = 400 remain
Ship Renumerations:

Was & Now:
Was: 9,000 ship1 ||| Now: 0
Was: 1,000 ship2 ||| Now: 400
Defence:
Was & Now:
Was: 1,000 ship1 ||| Now: 1,000
Was: 2,000 ship3 ||| Now: 2,000
(continuing per initiative with newest values referred to...)
