Easy Food?

I noticed that I am in range of about 10 runs per hour of extractors with a star gate level 2.

Each day I can get anywhere from 5-10k food, or go for 5k-10k energy...

Now, comparing this with raiding a person, I get anywhere form 0-2000 of everything... Why attack a player? When I can only like raid a player once, and not many inactive that I can attack.

This brings my to the point of topic...Easy "food"? I can send waves of 2-3 marines and get lots of food, are send 15+ marines and get whatever else I need, the only thing that has any value is BC, which I don't get much from attacking so, WHY attack a player?

attacking players help your growth speed because you can't get bc from mines it is true you can get everything else but it isn't super likely to be in a area that has all 3 mine types if you have 4 transport ships you can be exchanging 4 resources at a time for bc but the people will eventually quite having bc or not need the resources you will also reach the point that only raiding players will matter if you need bc

Yes, but by maxing out my tax, I and upgrading my production and trading for cheap prices, I can produce a fairly high amount of BC as well, and attacking players has kinda lost purpose.

As for the three mines... I have a solar plant 11 tiles away, an argon mine is only like 6 tiles, and then a erythiem only like 9 tiles away, I do not believe this to be chance.

look at it this way, raiding helps the targeted players to be more paranoid and build more soldiers and hence giving more challenge the next time and heighten the gameplay.

well that's one way to look at it anyway. I just farm inactive players instead. no harm no foul. they don't want those resources, so why waste it?

if your argument is about raiding active players then think of it this way, war = not boring = better testimonies = better reviews = more players = more outposts to raid later on when you are bigger and cannot support yourself by relying on in-house productions. maybe that work better?
