The Stars Calc says that it will take 79% damage, with no losses.

However, in the game I lost 4 ships and ended with damage of 6 @ 78% ...

Well, the damage is close enough that I'd call it correct, the 1% difference is probably due to the usual rounding errors.

Here some info from experience:
1) ITs never loose ships.
The only exception is due to accumulated damage of 100% or more.

2) Mass-overgating leads to losses.
The not exact formula was once posted in the Advanced Stars! FAQ.

3) Distance-overgating leads to losses as well.
There are several posts, including the FAQ, stating that only distance-overgating leads to losses but that's wrong... at least nowadays. It could be that it was changed in the later Stars versions or patches. Most of the articles and calculations about gates are rather old and thus might refer to older versions.

4) Damage calculations due to mass- or distance-overgating are the same for every PRT including ITs.
