I havent tested out my theory: But it may Risky to attack anyone lower than your self even if their score implies no bounty risk..... If the planet happens to be a planet that has multible ships on it and is a big investment for them... It might be possible that attacking the wrong asset of the enemy could net you a bounty even if their score does not imply it at the begining of the attack... This is where you might have to take a look at the total of the team score....But with ships stored on the planet Attacks might be Bounty risky....I could be wrong in this....

Hmmm, I don't know exactly what you are getting at here.

The stored ships on a planet do not add to the defensive capabilities of the planet.

By attacking the planet and capturing multiple ships you devastate the players rank and score so much that they become a bounty after the attack and you still get the bounty as the attacker for knocking them down in the rankings....and this would happen all in one single attack...


It was just a thought and total fantasy on my part..

I think Lucky is talking about while your in the process of attacking a planet that the enemy is logged out on. I think if the rankings show one star next to name then yes, you will get a bounty because of the ship. If their planets are in your range then you can still take those which might have other ships of theirs stored. As long as it is not the ship they are logged out in...
