Max hit cap

there has been some players who have been leaving out close to 3 trill naq without being in PPT.

Now i don't have a problem with this in the least.

with every naq hit i do, i take into stock a number of things, loses expected, return, etc, etc.

But with this cap of 500bil, it is pointless hiting these big accounts. to get all the naq you would have to do major damage. some would say so what.

but in my eyes a naq hit should be a single strike & move on.

I can see why forum put it in because of these people who caused all that trouble & people attacking these accounts with shall we say alot of naq out :lol:

what do you think could help

If they leave 3 trill out, and I have the strike to take it, I'll take it... just a minor inconvenience with the cap...

Increase the cap to about 1 trill, 1.5 maybe?

The ultimate solution would be to remove the cap and fix the exploits in the code. Jason is obviously a capable programmer but desperately needs help and/or a QA process to keep those kinds of exploits from making it out into production.

I'd vote to lift the cap since the problem ultimately can be traced back to bad or poorly tested code which is not the problem of the legitimate players.

Ive said this before, but ill quote i here

There shouldnt be a limit to the amount that is stolen, because there shouldnt be cheaters in the game.

The game cant be based around what happens a tiny % of the time
if the last time it happened was anything to go by a limit (If really needed) could be 100's of trillions and make a difference still.

I guess Forum is trying to incite more wars that will brand larger accounts as bullies. Really what is the point of forcing use to destroy accounts?

If I could hit someone for 500bil I would be delirious. 500 bil is nothing to be looked down at. That's around 800K UU on the market. I am also sure if you're able to hit the account once then you attacking 6 times for 3tril would be no issue as you would be able to build back up easily.
I remember reading a bigger players post. He was complaining about massing costing millions of UU. This as you all know consists of a lot more hits than 6. I'm sure you would not lose more than a couple of million UU which you could easily buy on the market with 3 tril naq and still have a good bit left over (even after repairing damages).

depends on their defence and the make up of your strike, i.e. mercs/ attack planets.

If you are S T I then you cannot buy your lost uu back.
