There are a couple ways you can go about doing it.
What I like to do is break it down by Shields, Armor, and Hull HP.
Simply take your Shield HP and divide it by (1 minus the decimal interpretation of each resistance type) to find the effective shield HP for each resistance. Then you can average the 4 resistance effective Hp's to get an Average Shield Evvective HP. (Note: You can average the resistances before hand if you are just looking for a quick average, but I find doing it on a per resist basis much more informative)
Do this for Armor to find your Average Effective Armor HP, and for Hull to find the Average Effective Hull HP.
Next, You can add up the 3 of these Average effective HP's to find your Average Total HP. (Note: It actualy may be beneficial to look at the lowest resistance effective HP for each of the 3 Types and add them up, as This would be a "worst case scenario" Lowest Effective HP).
"1 minus the decimal interpretation who what?"
Convert your resistance to a decimal. If your armor kinetic resistance is 30%, it becomes 0.30. If your hull has a Damage Control II, the resists will be 60%, or 0.60. If your shields hav 10% EM resist, it is 0.10.
1 minus this number is simply factoring in the percentage of damage that actualy gets thru your resists and deals damage to your raw HP.
Example:
A ship has 50% Average Shield Resists across the board, 60% Average Armor resists across the board, and 0% Hull Resists.
It has 1000 Shield HP, 1500 Armor HP, and 1000 Hull HP.
Shield HP / (1- Decimal resists) = Average Effective Shield HP
1000 / (1 - 0.50) = 1000 / 0.5 = 2000 Effective Shield HP
Armor HP / (1- Decimal resists) = Average Effective Armor HP
1500 / (1 - 0.60) = 1500 / 0.4 = 3750 Effective Armor HP
Hull HP / (1- Decimal resists) = Average Effective Hull HP
1000 / (1 - 0) = 1000 / 1 = 1000 Effective Hull HP
Total Effective HP = All 3 effective added together
2000 + 3750 + 1000 = 6750 Average Total Effective HP
