You may attack inactive players as many times as you like.

You can attack each active planet 5 times in 24 hours.

noob rules -
Anyone over 100k total points can attack each other
Under that mark you can anyone over 5x you score or under 1/5th

Bashing rules are waved during wars.

The computer will not allow you to attack players that are against the rules to go after. It will also warn you if you are exeeding the five attack rule.
Outside the box? What box?
