the most that can happen is having sheilds and weps destroyed buring battles

So, when two MS clashes in battle, "how many" shields go?
I´d want to know approx percentages.. check your logs and estimate how many times stronger a MS that attacked you were when you lost a specific amounts of shiels.. =)

I need to figure out how much stronger MS I need to find.

Depends on the motherships involved. The bigger the motherships, the more that gets destroyed. Small motherships tend not to lose much... so I'm guessing it's percentage based.

If you just want to get yours destroyed, I know 2 people that have motherships that do in excess of 6 billion damage...

Sounds interesting, I noticed my rank before I got to buy to much, so the MS is not that strong, 6bil damage shure is enough.

I would need someone with no or low anticovert, just to sell of my weps is quite expensive so I would like to keep my spies trained if possible.

if your MS is about 3bil powerful, you'll lose about 22 sheilds every time you go up agains a comparitive MS

I remember the good 'ole days when with just 2billion total power your M/S would be rank 83 :D
It's still cheaper to get it into the top 100 than covert/strike/defense.

Ok, I need someone with a strong Mothership to whop my motherships defence to oblivion. I´ll sell my soldiers defenceweps before the "hit" and take the losses, of course I pay for any eventual damages.

Don´t want my spies dead though, so you can´t have any beefy anti-covert.

Send me a PM here or catch me on msn if you already got it for more details =)

And, yes - you must have much rank (no lesser number than around 2000 but 6000 would be great!), a powerful gamer in the 300 rank just tried to help me whopp my MS but the penealty for differences in ranking saved my mothership.. (VERY annoying).

MS defence action is only 1,620,000,000 so there should be plenty of you that can kill it.

p-s, the free hunting season is NOT open yet, I´d appriciate to be prepared before anyone is kind enough to strike.. ;)

Wait... do you want to be massed or just attacked once to get a feeling for what the losses would look like?

(I'm afraid my rank is to high, and I haven't been working on my M/S very much so I can't help. )

I want to have my MS defence massed away. (at an agreed moment)

but I believe that It must be someone that´s close to me in rank or I seem to just get losses on my soldiers and still have intact shields on my MS.

Aye, as you mentioned, there is that nasty rank/power modifier.
It's great attacking an inactive account and getting results like these:
------------------
Your M/S does blah da blah, Blowing through the enemy M/S defenses it destroys:
8 shields and 14 weapons.
The enemy M/S strikes back doing puny amounts of damage!
You lose: 29 shields.
---------

:?
But don't worry to much about damage, M/S weapons are cheap. You're not likely to spend more than 100mill a night, and the rank bonus alone is enough to make up for such slight repair costs. :)

what mr xeno said

find a MS that is about the same as yours, not alot more powerful.

if its alot more powerful, it'll lose more...

For example, my MS is over 3bil, it it'd hurt to mass your MS...

What if I´m the agressor?

Is the ranking penealty there still?

Don´t think A stronger MS would loose anything, I realised my misstake before I got to buy any strike for the MS. :)
