The key in ascension is to try and stay below the radar and build until it becomes problematic to stop you. Frankly, it is useless for me to farm or raid as I make more per turn in planets and income than most people on the server make per day. With the turn limits, farming and raiding are not a long-term key to success in this server.
You drive a strong point, but you point out the exact problem in ascension. Once you reach that point where it becomes problematic to stop you, then you must compete with those above you, or who would displace you. Each one of them raiding and farming those below them. So while farming and raiding doesn't get you to the top of the game from the bottom, you have to to keep yourself in the top of the game. This is a problem for the mid level members as they get raided by those who are larger.

Farming in your case Hen would probably be not necessary.
Well farming is something I'm extremely good at, so I do it anyway. My income does an excellent job of keeping me growing faster than most of my competition, but the extra DMU helps still. Considering I farm for 2bill+, and I have hits that number in the 100's of billions, I'd say it's profitable.
