Thanks for advice and encouragement. I turned on the shield and used all my resources anyway. Unfortunately one of my explorers was coming back minutes before the attack and I couldn't be bothered to time it better. Hopefully he doesn't attack again or I will definitely get annoyed and look into doing something about it or just quit, lol.
It's just not possible to consider battle until you have a handful of planets.
