This is because ZE does not employ the "Plunder Algorithm" for attacks. Somehow, the developers forgot something in their formula or it is too difficult for them to program.
Here is the way an attack should look:[/color]
You can only capture up to 50% of the overall resources on a planet. For example,if you attack a planet which has 20,000 metal, 20,000 crystal and 10,000 deuterium, you will get be able to capture a maximum of 25,000 resources overall {(20k+20k+10+)/2}.
Now here is how each resources are captured and its called the "plunder algorithm":
1.Fill up to 1/3 of cargo capacity with metal
2.Fill up to half remaining capacity with crystal
3.The rest will be filled with deuterium
4.If there is still capacity available fill half of it with metal
5.Now fill the rest with crystal
Because ZE does not employ the Plunder Algorithm, you have to send more ships than is necessary to get the full amount of resources available...

Can I build more than one small shield dome? If so, then what is the benefit of the large shield dome over the small one? As far as I can see, the cost is five times as much(except for a negligible amount of deuterium) and the strength is exactly five times as much. Also, how can the domes have rapid fire with an attack of 0?

You can't build more than one large or small shield domes...

Just wanted to say Thank You for explaining the concept of Fleet Save! I've been wondering what the heck a Fleet Save was for quite some time and now I know! Thanks!

Is there a limit to how many ships you can have in a single fleet or how many defensive weapons defending your planet?

Nope. You can build as many as you can afford and own as many as you can keep safe.

Any incoming attacks will show in red on your overview screen. Also, your fleet cannot be attacked mid-air.

second, i can't find the official trade ratios, can u give me a link?
Thanks again and have good time playing
