Similar effects at faction home planets, just make sure to take down defences to get everything back. Note that at max raid effectiveness, you often get back more than what you sold. When selling 60k units for fun, I once was refunded an extra 7k.
Nice "5 million" transaction, you still haven't addressed how much investment is needed to acquire 20 thousand heavy armaments in the first place. Also take down defenses? Now you just proved Anvel who you called brainless right, if you blow up the orbital station or bomb their ground defenses then the commotion will last for months.
Charming.
Anyways, looks like I made the nitpicky redditor equivalent upset. Probably will be my last reply since I've pretty much refuted everything said and you're relying on straight-up misinterpreting what I say to have any point at all.
1. That screenshot was me refuting your statement of "You get 300k credits from selling 20000 heavy armaments and raiding them all back". In no world would you ever only get 300k credits for selling 20k heavy armaments. The very lowest you could go for is 500k, and that's if they have absolutely 0 demand for it.
2. The 5 million:

You (actually maybe not you, but I) could certainly do it within a year, and that's without using this exploit. If you use this exploit, it would only be easier.
"Now you just proved Anvel who you called brainless right, if you blow up the orbital station or bomb their ground defenses then the commotion will last for months"
4. You can sell the items first, and then cause a commotion. You can still raid planets when you cause a commotion.
Ignoring the fact that there will be windows of opportunity where the port is open while things are still under repair (especially since heavy batteries would get knocked out for a whole year with a bombing), there are also other bypasses such as mass-selling other items you may have inadvertently stacked, and then raiding them one-by-one.
This whole point is kind of moot, since the price of armaments you sell is based on how many units of demand they have. There is no particular reason to go after home planets with huge defence when you can just raid pretty much any other planet with low defence. If you are at the point where you can take down their home planets, well, I mean, well done? You could now decivilize the entire sector while you wait for alex to patch this interaction!
I would say "Kind of amusing what your argument has devolved to – 'oh no, a week of wait!' – maybe you can take one of those exploration missions you like so much in the downtime.", but that was your argument from the very beginning. Still can't fathom how you blew a very simple credit exploit so out of proportion.
