I'm not sure, but the calculator above is just an Excel spreadsheet, so it's easy to pull the algorithm from there.

by the way, IIRC there is also a small randomisation, so if ships have very similar attractiveness, don't be surprised if they sometimes get fired on in an unexpected order.

Also bear in mind that a ship's attractiveness will change as it becomes damaged, or it's sheilds go down. A good example is a series of battles I had once where a race was bombing my HW, and had plenty of chaff, but after about 3 or 4 years their missile battleships had become damaged enough that they became more attractive than his chaff, resulting in a swift and unexpected victory when the latest missile orbital tore them up instead of eating a handfull of chaff.
