How did my defense fail? I don't understand! Help!

How did my defense fail? I don't understand! Help!

Hello everyone. Surely the attack/defense topic has been discussed before. But I will write down a question again. My version is 1.3 beta...

I had the bad luck to be in the neighbourhood of the Drengin! So, they started war with me very soon with a massive fleet strikes.

I constantly upgraded my force with best point defense available as the Drengin always attack with missiles. Finally I researched Aereon Missile Defense (AMD) with its impressive armor of 10!

So I built medium ship (so I can built fast) with 3 AMD, several phasor guns. So my defense of 30 countered their attack missile power of 27 (their best ship).... In fact, nothing could happen to me, and my ships were also greatly enhanced by military starbases!

So, I attack and what happened? All my ships were destroyed! How did that happen? They have no military starbases to help them. I know this:
1. attack power is random --> Drengin attack range from 1 to 27 (only missiles!)
2. defense power is max --> my effective defense is thus minimal 30....

So, I should never have any damage!

How did this happen? I don't understand any more. Now my whole utopic civilization is under ruin and smoke of exploded missiles!!!!

Is this a bug?

I already mentioned the TROPHY and Phalanx designs, among others. And I said they weren't combat-approved. You can hardly call something a working PD if it never did any actual PDing.
EDIT: ROFL! TRHOPY's top secret forcefield countermeasure! It's a frikken shotgun! And in the second video, it says it works against kinetic energy projectiles. Yeah it does. Minimally. It does next to nothing on them. Only effective against explosive rounds.

They are in the process of being deployed, they were alrdy tested and it was alrdy proven that they work, just the political manuvering going on that hasnt put 'em on the battlefield yet, just like the army's and marine's soldiers, they have to buy their own bulletproof vests cuz of political BS. Just wait a year or two, youll probably see them first in Israel, since they own most of those companies anyways, and are sorrounded by maniacs.
