There are various random outcomes of an expedition. You can find resources, find ships, find nothing or bad ones such as being sucked into a black hole and having the expedition fleet being partially destroyed. There may be other outcomes i do not know that you may have to ask around for or discover on your own.

Amount to send
If you find resources on your expedition you will only be able to carry as much back with you as the cargo capacity of the fleet supports. If you find ships on your expedition they will be of the same type (and possibly quantity, not sure) of your sent fleet. So sending more ships can potentially yield a greater reward, but also carries a bigger loss if the expedition is a failure.

Yes, but Zorg spelled backwards is one letter off from the word grog- which he may have been drinking at the time of the post. :D

it's not same quantity... sent 5 battleships out and they found another one 8-) . So it's probably just same type...
