I've read somewhere that your ships are have a damage protection at green health or something, where if the enemy does damage more than 100% of the ship's HP, it will become 50%-80% instead, so will be orange or red after the hit, another thing is, this makes ships with odd number HP slightly better due to 80% dmg will still keep her at orange instead of red, 50% dmg keeps her at yellow instead of orange, from full hp.

On the other hand, if the enemy does not do over 100% of the ship's HP, there will be no protection. So if your ship has 32 HP and the enemy did 31 real damage, tough luck, your ship will be 1/32'd.

Enemies do not have the protection so you hit however the real damage should be on them. Your ships lose the protection once you advance with red health, so you will see big damage numbers if you get sunk.
