It would be around 6060 for the solars. It makes it too difficult to kill them all in one shot at the moment as there is no rapid fire. I would suggest if you are wanting a 20% moonshot without hassle try 223 large cargos.

Yes I agree this is the most economic choice for the one doing the building as metal is easier to come by than the crystal. However, you do have to take in consideration, that it takes a bigger fleet to kill the 56 battleships. Especially if you are doing moonshots trading, considering the fact that to kill 223 lc will take about 20 or so battleships, which take less deut than for the fleet you would have to take against the 56 battleships.Urweirdsaysi wrote:Or 56 Bs, for the most economic choice

Large cargos put a much smaller dent on defenses than the Battleships.

Cargos, in my experience, are bad at moonshotting. Me and a friend have been exchanging LC moonshots for well over a week and neither of us have had any luck so far. 
Either the cargos are failing majorly or we have a couple of those really stubborn planets.

lol probably a stubborn planet, I know of some that have tried for at least 8 times with a variety of ships and the darn thing just will not get a moon.
