Actually, the problem high value/roids players have with single targeting is that a 500k planet can launch on a 5mill planet and inflict considerable damage to the bigger planet. Thanks to XP, you will also need to kill 100% of the attacking fleet, or it will land for a hilarious scoregain. Even if you do kill 100%, you will lose a lot of value. The small planets attackships will shoot first, inflicting a lot of damage. Because of the bigger players large value, salvage is poor, and you have to choose between staying to save your roids, or take a large valueloss. lose/lose for the big planet.
A small planet can exploit this, making the big planet choose between value or roids. No need to say, it sucks to be high up because you need to be on 24/7 to get defense against every inc, even from small inactives trying to land for XP.
