It has recently come up in my guild the issue of stealing occupations or breaking them. Let's start by defining the difference.
Stealing- killing the occupying force and then taking the occupation.
*It is not stealing if they leave a fleet so large it is worth going to just kill the fleet for the debris.
Breaking- killing the occupying force and leaving the occupation to recharge defenses etc.
*It is also effective to break occupations made by a player when at a lower level that has grown as they cannot get those occupations back if they are under level 30.
The main difference between the two is the intent. Stealing an occupation is strictly for your benefit. Breaking is to harm the other player for whatever reason. Either way it is important to know if your guild is an occupation stealing guild or not. If it is steal anything you can. If not you should only break if needed to deter attacks and put people in their places.
You should only steal if you are looking for a fight or are already in a guild war. Breaking is fun to do just to slow others down but also to keep people from messing with you as they know you are active and could snipe their occupations again!

"Breaking an occ from someone that cannot get it back is all the same if you steal, break or bonk or hump the occ. Its something away from the original occupier and he will most likely retaliate.
Also it seems that some think that if you go around breaking/stealing their occs they 'get it' that they should stop scouting around. Well if someone breaks my occs, whatever the reason I start scouting actually more for occs to break back.
People that are KOS or have done that to you should be fair game to retaliate with same tactics."
