Thanks for replying. Your information helps a lot. Bottom line is that I have no defense against this player since he attacks me while I sleep. Of course , even though he out ranks me by almost 100, I can attempt to find him and repay him in full.
My first suggestion, is that getting disabled really has very little downside, especially if you are just getting badged. Worst case scenario is a crit hack, which doesn't matter if you are halced or not. At your rank, losing research and artifacts can still hurt a bit, but as you get bigger that becomes less of an issue, and if he's just badging it's no big deal and don't stress. (If he is zeroing you, then that can definitely be a problem.) Since you aren't on anybody's news feeds (presumably) given that you are halced, nobody will be finding you by trolling their news feed for yellows.
I try to do all my PvPing in one go-around and
usually don't have to worry about it recycling (though it did today.) Having high scan gives me the best possible list of targets.
As for things that you can do to avoid this...add cloak. If you have higher cloak, he'll need higher scan to find you. You'll either pop out of his battle tab altogether,
or he'll expand his battle tab folks to make it harder for you to recycle. The game is suffering from a lack of new players, so at your rank, there may not be sufficient players, but you can try it and see how well it works. The other thing you can do is to rank out of his range a bit, though if he's 100 ranks above you that'll take quite a bit of work. The upshot there is, you'll have more planets and better production and can improve your defense and attack and make yourself a less attractive target.
One thing to note, if somebody
else sets off your halc, and he finds you before it wears off, he can leave your tab open for up to the couple hours and potentially still be able to target you even if you have been bumped off his battle tab. Though that doesn't seem to the complaint here.
