I find that the number of pink stars usually doesn't make a big difference in Outpost battles. It's more of an intimidation factor.
Gear, placement, and traits are much more important than sheer star count.

My "Dear" Mahit....yesterday i get only a TG, today you grab me a TG and a soul of my poor survivors! I find you..and when i enter in your outpost i'll dance on your defenders! This is a promise! I wrong??
Is this supposed to be a bug? I only had no time to get tg but i've got the flag...

It started with about half a dozen defensive wins, but once I realized I was within range of the U.S. leaderboard, I had to go for it. Sorry to all those who leave an open route to their TG but still ended up with 3 dead defenders. I just had to humor myself!

@SCBMA I'm only 30 influence points away from @Movado! (probably the only time I'll ever be able to say that, lol)

Ran into a blast from the past with @eetu . Curious to see if the defenders were pinkies. They were not. Only 4 Level 1 walkers too. Just grabbed the TGs and left feeling sorry for the defenders who once had a great leader.
Thanks for visiting and leaving me in peace @JackBauer!

@JackBauer Just curious, why go after Deadeye's survivors but not mine? Is my layout harder to attack? Was it my easy access to TG? Did Deadeye block his TG? Did you want to kill 10 star survivors just to say you did?

@JayZ I can't remember your setup, sorry. But next time I will have a "closer" look. Deadeye's setup is super easy (even with 10-star survivor) because of badly placed survivors.

Hey, that's not me, defenders don't match. .There is an impostor afoot
Since Outposts are currently down, I wanted to take a quick moment of reflection.
To "Ash" and "Muffinman," - I don't know if you two are Forum people or not, but I wanted to say THANK-YOU. When I went through a period of putting in weak defenders as a test, everyone had destroyed them even though TG was easily accessible. I lost faith in humanity. However, the 2 of you were the only ones that let my people live (even though you didn't have to). And for that, I thank-you. You are gentle kind souls, even though in the past I admit I may have been undeserving of graciousness in Outposts.
You see, many players profess to only grab TG's, but when you look at their screenshot logs you see a full squad of legendary-defenders on the other end. So, most likely, it was their own self-interest in avoiding hospital time rather than any true kindness towards defenders. So I'm always hesitant to deem them honorable. But you two players were the true Bodhisattvas, shepherding the weak through the valley of darkness.
Unfortunately with an entire log of wicked attackers of others, I cannot say that I'm motivated to offer free TG's anymore. But I will say this: I will never raid the 2 of you, I shall never step foot in your Outposts (or alternatively, if I see you in a search, I will start raid and immediately quit without flags to intentionally lose raid and offer you free Influence. Just a small token of appreciation for your conduct that was above & beyond the call of duty). As for all the other cheap opportunistic killers, I will plan to murder and pillage them all, later.
@movado, I'm new to the raiding aspect of the game, so bear with me...
In all of the raids that I've been on, (if memory serves) the opposing team are always right around the TG's. If I stumbled upon your outpost I would walk in the door and there would be the TG's just sitting there for the taking and I would have to get the goods and then go out of my way to find your defenders like around a corner or something? If that's case I'll know to just grab the goods and go (even though that's probably what I would have done if I ever encountered it).
I think most people have the mindset that if they have lets say 1000 TG's total, it would only take 3 raids to knock them down to zero so by god they're gonna defend it.... even though zero TG's and no heavily injured survivors is better than zero TG's and everyone in the hospital. They're going to defend because they aren't going to let someone take the tomatoes out of their (virtual) babies mouths without a fight (no matter how pointless since defenders are at such a huge disadvantage).
No tradegoods are lost by the defender. So it's really in how you want to play. I always attack people who block tg. I never attack people who don't. Some attack everyone. Some are jackals, only preying on the weak. They are they ones Movado is calling out. Once I had weak defenders, and encountered what he is talking about. I encountered more people than he who left in peace, but their numbers are not high. Now I aim to take a little blood, but am not serious about defense. Active raiding is the way to keep influence up. When raiding is available, of course...

I'll have to murder the bastards then for making me feel sorry for them!

You have been lucky but 10-star survivor Bot Deadeye not :-)

I never thought about a strategy how to defeat this outpost yet. Maybe next time

It is nice that you do not shoot first and then ask later.
I wish you lots of free TG until the Update.

You're welcome! Thanks for not blocking the TGs! Feel free to stop by my place. The TGs are reachable, but bring a Scout.

Although I don't have recent proof of it I definitely recognize Governator and Movado as frequent rampagers through my outpost!
Good to see you back... at least for one post!
