Farming

[FEARLESS]

Questions for farming:

1. Which is better, Using mercs with your strike or not?
2. How much naq should you hit?

If possible, can you add some tips too.

Thanks.

There's a couple things to take into account here. First off-how many weapons do you have? The larger your strike the more your repairs cost after each hit.

Mercs or not is really your own choice-they have less strike but are cheaper-I don't know whether the cost to power ratio is the same for mercs and supers-but I think its close.

Anyways-I don't hit for less than 10 bil-but it varies on your strike and ability to defend yourself if they retaliate. Also-remember to keep your and their MS in account.

A bit more info and we can help you better. But in general I would say don't hit for less than a bil-you can find plenty of people with 0 def and 1 bil out.

Let's say you have a 200 bil strike. Now, can you give me a rough guess?

[cyberblade]

generally speaking I'd say about 5-7 bil then... But that depends on their def. Do this-figure out how much repairs cost you, and how much UU you lose per their level of def.

so-if a 0 def costs you 1 bil in repairs you should hit for at least 2-3 bil
if a 20 bil costs you 1 bil, plus 20k supers-calculate the worth of the UU plus their training-then ad at least 2-3 bil to that.

Obviously you don't have to hit for that low-you can set whatever limit you want. But I'd suggest around 5-7 if low defense. if they have a lot of naq out its often worth sacrificing more supers to get it.

I don't really feel thinking it through. :S

BTW, thanks.

You're welcome for the help received-but being too lay to continue to think it through does not entitle you to my doing the thinking for you. All you need to know has already been said.

If you have any more valid questions I'm happy to help-but I won't do things for you just because you're lazy.

about mercs

its not really about the cost of mercs but the fact that with mercs to lose no supers which means more troops for you

but you would need more weapons to get the same strike so which is more profitable

Mercs are cannon fodder. They are there to take the bulk of the damage.

all mercs do is force you to get more weapons which ups your repair cost

but still if you didn't need supers just mercs you wouldn't take any losses since mercs a re cheap and dont effect your troops

Who said anything about giving them weapons They are human shields.
