Yes. You got it.
If they attempt to run the retal, then this is additional costs on the attacker, I call this WR-feeding (Will-Retal feeding) or more commonly called midfeeding. In fact midfeeding is very close to bottomfeeding since your attempt to outrun the retal simply means are trying to outgrow the target as is the case for bottomfeeding (the distinct difference being that bottomfeeding usually refers to hitting untags, while midfeeding usually refers to clans that Will-Retal).
This is distinctly different from land trading, and the country setup (both military and economically) are different. A landtrader typically has high BPT count (a lot higher than 100), and a high jet count and low turrets. A midfeeder usually has a high turret count (to outrun retals) and a low jet count (which are attacking the low defense guys in some weak clan) and typically has not more than 100 BPT.
