The question has been (and is), what to remove...

Meh, I'll go ahead and sticky.

That is counted as a (short) massing - if it is used to 'tick off' another player's Mothership, it is called Mothership massing (since MS' inflict the full damage on each other, doesn't matter how much turns used)

If you're pretty sure that somebody is inactive then farm away at them... usually the easiest way to tell if they are inactive is if they have 3998-4001 turns, and / or severely damaged def weapons and several turns worth of naq out. If they have several turns worth of naq out, they aren't getting massed as the masser would have taken the naq away.

Be cautious of their commander though, because some commanders get testy even if their officers are getting farmed when they only log on once a week.
