Everyone in the game is a target. The game still works the same way. We value PVP, getting ahead and having fun as opposed to an abject fear of losing.

yea but due to your attitude and actions in the game there baltard you've pretty much painted a blazing neon bullseye on you and your members....how does it feel to know that ultimately your probably on EVERYONES hitlist

and like Noci said...would rather be a predator then prey and you bali boy are prey

Im cool w/ sponny, I mean I dont agree with everything he does but I got to give respect for being the leader of the only group in GL to openly admit that they act like (NOTE; "act LIKE", not "are") assholes rather then running around on a high horse.
Just cuz you dont like him doesnt mean everyone does.

I've sort of been letting nocifer kill me up to the limit so I might get a clean slate in a few days and because I need to defend various planets. I could probably take him out once while he sleeps but I don't particularly see the point. It takes a ton of energy just to spring his traps and he has a ton of shields so it would probably take an hour and a half and cost 300-400 energy for one kill. I probably should have given it a shot for the hell of it. It would be a bit counter to my plans now though.

His shields regenerate ~400 every time you repair after the first time, so there is a big difference if you are even a little bit stronger or weaker than someone else giving it a shot.

I started with 400 or more energy and got him down to 8 hull. Yeah I should have used more artifacts. I only used a nanite hull swarm and by the time i got down to 80 energy I used an EMP sphere. Thats about it. Anything going better would have killed him. Full weapons and hull and the rest defense. Also reactors... I don't know if the defense was really necessary if he was topping out anyways.

I'm guessing with a 6 minute repair timer he gets about 4 clicks or 8%. So 400 shields every repair would give him 4816 shields. My guess is its less. He pretty much has endless decks and will hit most people's damage cap anyways, so having good weapons and hull would be the key. I only have heavy quantum devastators. I spend nearly all my research on energy modules and planet structures. If I were a konqul fixer, had weapons and hull that were a tier better, and actually used more artifacts, it would probably only take 100-150 energy. Maybe even less if I had less decks. I sure do a lot of PVP to not specialize in it. I guess I have more of a long-haul strategy. I'll probably switch race/professions someday in the far future though.
