The outcome of the main battle against Stingray 1 and her remaining yurzens escorts was never in doubt.
Once the aliens took the bait and split up their warships in order to chase after the Spirit of Bentheim, the ships left behind did not have the numbers to resist several mech divisions as well as two ace mechs.
However, the losses were still bound to be serious, especially if the technologically advanced puelmer heavy cruiser was given a chance to fire her gun batteries for an extended period of time.
Her weapon systems were a lot more accurate and precise than the warship armaments of other races!
The planners and officers of the Golden Skull Alliance already budgeted for all of the casualties inflicted by the puelmer homeship.
Just because the Phobos managed to cripple her warp drives did not mean her other systems dropped in performance.
