All other things seems to be are calculated by VCR using these results and shields are seemingly almost always wrongly calculated there.

Hmmmm....that can be misleading as well, as it reports 24 damage to shields but subsequent calculations reveal that 6 points of that damage disappeared along with the ship that was killed. Anyway, it looks like the 4476 number was wrong.

And in that case I would like to reverse my plea, m'lud Laughing

I originally calculated...

5000 / 10 * 9 - 24 = 4476

but the 4476 number is wrong. The actual figure is 4482 which corresponds to the other calculation method, if you allow for rounding to the nearest integer...

Round( (5000 - 24) / 10) * 9 = 4482

The second shot also works, but again you have to account for rounding...

Round( (4482 - 24) / 9) * 8 = 3960

In conclusion, I am now asserting that

Shields = (StartingShields - ShieldDamage) / StartingShips * RemainingShips
