You farm people for pitiful amounts, anything lower than 50bil on any defense, you should be shot. Unless someone is defenseless, its not very profitable to hit for anything less. Think, someone with a 500bil defense, large MS, bigger than yours, and you hit them fior 50bil. The repairs on your MS are more than what you hit for.
That means you GunZ. Watch your "farming".
Tetris, even I hit & farm some people for less than 50 bil on a defense... granted, my strike action at my current ascension level has topped out at 76 bil, and so the defenses that I hit are mostly zero,
with some small, even tiny, defenses...
but the ones with defenses are still bigger than the famous Asgard Order suggestion:
build 1 bil defense to stop farming.
...and yet, when my defense was 230 bil + mothership,
I would get hit at least once per week for amounts that would bring the attacker 25 - 30 billion naq, before repairs.
I finally upped my defense so that I could take out 22 - 25 bil naq and go on PPT without concern that I'd be hit for that same naq.
For the record:
my minimum "intended" hit fluctuates between 25 and 27 billion naq on a zero defense, (up to about 7 bil defense), and rises slowly there after.
on a 25 billion defensive action, (plus mothership), I'd want... hmm...
41 billion naq or better? --though apparently, from my logs,
I've hit for much less than that...
not sure why, except that as one of my former farms assured me:
"don't worry about it. farming is messy."
