I think it will take a heavy UP push for most players for the first 8-12 weeks, then anyone wanting to hit the Automatons will certainly need to be a Human player (like Affy... HeHe) and an Attack Focus set!!
It will take a large Army w plenty of decent Attack weapons, and maybe by about week 13-14 someone will be able to hit the lowest 10-12 Automatons.
The only other way will be a concerted effort by 4 or 5 players with built Attacks who can 'wear down' their massive Motherships w 1 AT attacks and then possibly finally Sab them and Attack them until one of the 4/5 players hit the Jackpot and take the NAQ!!
Right now I suspect it is the aide of their Motherships that are making them Un-Attackable?? Then the other question would be if their Motherships 'Auto-Repair' at some rate. Once the MS is taken out of the equation I think they can be taken down with a decent Offense built up.
'Bad Affy' sez... "Affy's brains are already taken Out of the Equation!"
