You might want to set a rule to the effect that for either side to
declair
victory, the fleet that destroys the enemy or forces him to flee, must
have
25% of his ships (points and number) survive or it is considered a draw. 

25% is rather a bloodthursty number. And ultimatly unsustainable. But
easy
to measure.
What are acceptable losses?
