First off, im only rank ~220, and whenever I raid/hack someone i only ever manage to steal ~100-300 points of whatever im doing.

My question is, does that amount go up as you rise in levels? I recall getting pretty much the same way back when I started... it doesnt seem worth 5 energy to do( the badges are a different story)

it seems that if your rank 2,3,4,500 etc, your ability to steal XXX amount should rise as well, should it not? how about base it on a certain type of crew... maybe scientists raise how much you can steal for research, and maybe engineers count towards how many minerals you can grab... Just a suggestion. I'm sure many of you out there have better ones or more mathematical based ones

the crew idea is lame, but the rank/loot ratio is a good idea.

The amount you raid/hack is based on the rank of person you raid/hack compared to you're rank.

so what sort of numbers are you getting when your rank 400, 500, 1000? like i said, from what i recall, my numbers havent gone up by much.. im not even getting 5% of an hours income from ANY raids or hacks

Rank 810, typical mineral raids ~1-2k regular, 3k+ crit
artifact raids ~1k regular, 2k+ crit
don't hack much, can't tell you last time I did.

From what I've seen though, you typically raid/hack for more if you do so against a higher ranked player than yourself.

Yeah when targeting a higher level player than yourself you'll get more from the raid/hack.

At 363 I usually get 300-600 on hacks
400-700 on raids.

I was getting a lot less at lower ranks. I am pretty sure it is dependent on who you are hitting. For instance I hacked someone above me in rank and got more than the usual amount. I would assume raiding would be the same, but my crew was not big enough.
