I was looking for something that encourages action. Not having to worry about losing ships helps with that.

So a person that wins 100-80 would get 200pts. A person that won 50-0 would just get 100pts. Yes the second person won by a better margin. But they only managed to destroy half as much as the first player.

OK but if we look at games as portions of a longer war, the second game had a much better outcome for the victor.

Knowing how to be defensive with your ships is still part of the game.

What you are saying is 100 to 100 wipe out on both sides is the same as 100-0 game? How on earth does that make sense to be awarded the same? No penalty for loosing your entire fleet?

No, if someone destroys more points than the other person they get double.

So 100-0 would get someone 200pts

100-100 would get each person 100pts

But 100-80 would also get someone 200pts. Again, aiming to create an environment where engagement is encouraged.
