Profitable naq hits - or make believe

Question: What is a profitable naq hit?.

It seems players are hitting for silly amounts of naq for a defence. Maybe exams are stressing players out, I just do not know any more

Point: Player A has a defence of 150 bil and has 10 bil naq out.
Player B hits this player and wins 10 bil naq.

Player B looses 50,000 units, Player A looses 150,000 units

Is this a profitable hit or is it a nuisance hit?
Is the taking of the naq like a drug, that keeps feeding the players habit.
or, it is a false win, because the player generates X UU per turn, and does not take into account the cost what the UU is as it is generated "free" but in real terms is a loss

What are players thoughts on this as doing the math (s) as clearly the loss outways the gain?.

When confronted about them supporting Bebita and Rob3rt (as there were suspicions as to be a tiny account got his MS and Naq / Turns etc) neither deny their involved behind the scenes but instead hint towards it being a coincidence.

yes, you can, basically everything above 1:1 is a profit hit, but theres other things to consider, example, if you hit someone and get 1:35 for example, but then cause of that hit, you lose your def, your ms, and your planets, then its not profit ;) its a big loss lol :P

Some people often forget that the figure of losses on the attack log screen often includes mercs.
