I see that alot but I dont get it. Defenses give the best bang for the buck combat capability wise so given the same amount of ressources defenses win.

Of course if player A has 2 or 3 times the points of player B with player A being a fleeter and B a turtle A will win. But given the same amount of ressources defenses should win everytime no? That is of course assuming the player with defenses build them only on one planet.

That's the thing, though. There's always a player with enough fleet to take out what defense you have. Defenses (mainly LL's) are indeed better looking at stats per resources spent. But you must also consider that fleeters have the ability to raid and get more resources than turtles who simply rely on their mining income. This means that fleeters grow faster, which allows them to get more res faster than turtles. So in the end, leaving resources and ships behind a shell won't protect you from hungry fleeters. You just have to make yourself unprofitable (fleet save).

adding to what said u can also make yourself unprofitable by spending everything u have everyday. the point is staying low on resources than what your defense is able to protect.

usually its the attackers who goes for resources that would make a defense bash profit. unless the resource is worth the time and fuel cost of the attacker they most probably wont attack you. also take consideration of the fact that in a war or rage pawnage situation an attacker may not care about profit but just the Total Damage.

for the later scenario turtle shells are a bulls eye target for attacker cause they cannot be moved.
