MS fleets in normal combat

I know it is a stupid idea to have fleets built up without hunting down planets.

But I would like to know how fleets react during a MS battle.
Things such as fleet death formula etc.

The reason I am thinking about this is because weapons capacity are costing exponentially higher, while my fleets capacity are relatively cheap.

Besides the fact fleets costs 200 times more to build than volleys (damage/price ratio), it might still be good for a temporary boost to MS power due to low capacity upgrade costs. (This is dependent of their death formula which I have no clue right now)

they do nothing to help your mothership. They add to your full strike a tiny amount, but mostly they are useless in a normal attack.
