I can see a loads of enemy planets and 750energy for a single purge is kinda heavy price. Tactically what's the best way to get people to get rid of them for you?

Any planet under Massive or 5x Mega Rich for me wouldn't be worthy of a flux, so the first thing you need to do is ask yourself, is the planet you want your enemy to flux even worth it to them?

As a sidenote, you can get purgers from your artifact production, so the best way is to really beef that up.

Repeatedly attack the planet over and over without ever using arties or allowing them to know who is attacking it, eventually they will get fed up and flux it. I have done that several times to players who were in legions that I simply did not like.

As soon as i see a planet of mine attacked, i put an alarm sentry or a grav whip on it, so i can see whose doing the attacking.

My response to that, wait a week, do it again, it has to get tiring wasting arties or guarding the same planet over and over and never know who attacks it.

Tap each planet. They can't hit you back because they don't get a notification saying who hit it, only that the planet was hit.. But some stupid guys will flux their planets. That'll cut down your list easily.

Some one did that to me once, Traced it with a probe. Unless your in a bricked rank 6 base or a rank 7 , I dont suggest that that.

Recently I got one person to flux their planet trying to get more In some cases the planets are getting bricked and I am getting closer to the pinball medal warping them. My base is pretty high so no worries there

well I have someone doing that to me now, so I used the tracer and I know exactly who it is, they will not be done any favours if I see any of their planets (there are 15 sabs in my legion ) or see them during a badge run. Also I'm going to keep traps on it for quite a while so whoever trips it will get a zero hahaha

you could do what I plan to, unlock zolazin, be a sab, find an 'ok' enemy planet in your BT hit it, sab a structure and move on. You get your sab count if your going for that medal, and possibly some fun as well.

forget to leave of planet name, the person ship and the legion and they run into when you have it up for bid and they flux it.

This totally worked

It was about a week after I last hit and it gone now, saved plenty of energy doing it this way!

saved 5 energy and a few hundred artifact points

Stellar Cartography takes 750 energy and 750 em to get 1 purge! I get plenty from arti points but every bit on top helps

every bit helps but probably cost the other player a flux which is 1k ctp or if it was a temp. flux quite a bit of energy. it should've been a good planet for him to plux it though. not sure if anyone does that mission for a purger.

I've completed 'Stellar Cartography' more than 300 times. Some players are at much higher completion levels.

I don't see the point in wasting so much energy on stellar cartography. I've used about 20 Database purgers this week and my completion level for Stellar Cartography remains a nice round zero. You get them in artifact pulls. Just do a purge once a week or something and spend the energy on something more worthwhile; like scanning more planets and getting your artifact production up.
