What Is Mitigtion?
Mitigation is your ship’s basic ability to take a punch and finish the fight. Understanding mitigation % can be the difference between adding more mitigation to outlast an armada or dying because your ship takes too much damage early in the battle.
The max mitigation any ship can have vs incoming damage before shields, apex barrier or iso defense is roughly 71%. You can’t actually get 72% so anything over 71% is effectively a perfect rating.

Calculating Mitigation
Calculating mitigation is simple. The 1st hit your ship takes in the battle log [the 1st red box] shows the standard damage your ship mitigates on the left and the standard damage the opponent deals to your ship on the right. Divide ship mitigation (mitigates # standard damage) by the damage the opponent dealt to your ship on the same line (deals # standard damage)
Formula
Damage Mitigated / Damage Dealt = Damage Mitigation %
How Do I Get More Mitigation?
Raising or lowering this number is based on several factors including officer abilities, officer stats, forbidden and chaos tech bonuses, ship buffs/debunks, etc
