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?.

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.
