How does enemy AI decides which ships to attack in combat simulator? and how defense works? in Game Talk GalCiv2 Forums

Playing DL, mid to end game. I'm trying to find a good ship combo for my fleets. So far, i'm using a high number of small ships, with both attack and defense, leaded by a capital ship, huge hull, with big numbers on both attack and defense. 1. How does AI decides which ship attacks 1st in combat? So far is working, they always attack the capital ship, which survives every battle more or less, while little ships do the killing. Question is, can i drop the defense on small ships
