If your giving moon shots it shouldn't count as I attacked a friend of me to give him a moon and it took me 27 attempts until he finally got a moon

But did u use only probes. If u use other ships and a small player sending to a bigger player could fall foul to the milk/pushing and pull rules

Specific to bashing, I'm understanding no algorithm exists as would report your probe attacks for moonshots. It but triggered the warning. Given how bashing rule is lifted when Wars are declared, and how that is forum specific, I do not believe any in game mechanism exists as would alert Admin to your moonshots.

The target of a bashing must report your bashing for the bashing to be acted on.

Micky's point pertaining to milking is one to def keep in mind, however.

The debris fields you create have value. You should be recycling that, rather than the moonshot recipient, if its total value exceeds one hours worth of your mines production.

Bashing rules are u are allowed hit one planet/moon 5 times but for one hit to count one single unit from the attacker survives if the attacking is destroyed it would've count that's why when u do a moonshots u want the recipient to be able totally destroy what u send on a other note if u spread u attacks over a 24 hrs or the first few attacks land on ur sixth u should get a in-game warning u could be breaching the bashing rule but if do one attack but at end page and click more than 5times u dont get the warning I believe ur fleet has survived on ur moonshots and this is the warning u got
