please comment

i dont really know what your looking for but you compare to me if you want

rank 48
light frigate
space 97
attack 383
defense 71
scan 1
claok 0

konquol fixer

merged nexus armor x2, overcharged q phase plating, protien armory

It's been a while since I've been at that rank. I have a friend who's rank 60 with:
700-800 attack
150 defense
2.2k hull

Hopefully that comparison will help. Good luck

Not too bad. You should keep raiding to get your protean armory's for sure. Do you have a good legion?

Looks good but it would help if you add your productions. Only comment I realy have is to move out of silliax. It can become a trap since switching out would cause you to have to uninstall your modules. Konqual excavator/fixer would be a good choice for early pvping. raids are important protean armours offer a good hull:deck ratio considering their only 8 decks big and can be a big help at low ranks. A research tree would be good but By the looks of you modules your doing ok however that graviton shield may be worth switching for more defence or attack.

The first things that come to my mind is to take off the shields and research more. Get hulls up to Nexus and weapons up to Singularity Launchers. You have the right idea with the quantity of hulls and attack modules installed, but increased quality can do wonders
Cheers, and happy hunting

you

NEEEED to be konqul or aerlen for attack def buffs while still being a fixer....no need for much cloak. drop it. concentrate on hull, defence attack. get your kills up alot, trust me. the higher your rep the less who attack (it is true regardless of if lower rep has better ship)

There's more to this game than attack and defense you know.

Anyways, onto the ship at hand. You seem to be doing pretty okay. Keep driving your attack up, but do give your defense a bump sometimes, otherwise you'll have to repair just stupidly often. Sillixx can become a deathtrap over time, and isn't the best race. I'd pick one which is more advantageous such as Kronyn Excavator or Konqul Excavator.

That little bit of cloak should mostly keep you off the battle tab so I would keep it.

Raid as often as you can, every kill if possible to get the Protean Armories. They're one of the best hull modules available, so I'd make sure you really go for 'em. The Dominion Cannon Mk3s are pretty good, and should be ready to go by rank 100. Don't buy the Mk2s though, it's kind of a waste of badges.

If you want to be stronger. listen to my advice. if you want to go on the road of being looked down then don't get str stats and hull up.

get a bit of scan and cloak (only cloak is needed to keep you off bt if you....afraid of being hit. but keep your core stats up and hull, build yourself a rep and no one will touch you on bt often). yes. no more than 100 each. so you can concentrate more stuff on attack def and hull.

get arti points = more strength, power....

I think this year you will still get the race change arti. on new years eve and new years day the daily rewards SHOULD be era of the new sphere. grab them change to konq fixer or excavator

You're doing good, you seem to know essentially what do to, but these are my tips:

• Go straight for Nexus armour
• Slow down on your decks for quite a while, at your rank and deck size people with high attack can hit a lot higher on you. lower decks = lower damage cap (it balances out with rank)
• Get your arti up. doesn't matter what it is, get it up.
• Protean Armouries, these are a big deal, as they are one of the most deck:hull ratio efficient mods in the game
• Ditch the shields, this should come off to provide space for upgraded hull modules, then weapons.
• If possible, switch race. On new years day the daily reward is an artifact that allows you a free race/prof change, and since the cooldown timer is 20 hours, its possible to get 2 of these. i recommend switching to Konqul, with the profession being Fixer(+30% Hull), Excavator (+10% Arti) or Raider (+30% Raid). the reason i recommend raider is because you have a huge deck count for your rank, meaning you will have a small crew, making it a lot harder to raid, and you need them protean armouries.
• Red Badges: I see you have 1 Dominion Cannon, i don't recommend spending any more Red Badges until you reach level 100, at which point you should spend them solely on Dominion Cannon MkIII's, occasional base scans are fine, as long as you make up for them.
• A lot of people will tell you to take the Cloak off, i say leave it on. it only tae up 10 space, yet it keeps you off 95% of peoples (Good ones at least) Battle Tabs, and at that level most people don't run 50+ scan, unless NPC'ing.
• Chill out on the scans and missions, unless the missions are for your mission Exotic. Performing these tasks gives you experience, which you should be using for Disabling and Raiding, and Hacking if your energy is too low for either.

Other than that your ship seems good, have fun with it, that's the most important thing, however considering peoples comments will help makes your ship less appealing and more opposing to potential attackers, which is always nice

Actually, you'll get stronger faster by not focusing on att/def. You'll just have to play catch up later on. That comment of mine was more aimed at the fact you said that Aerlen/Konqul Fixer was obligatory. Fixer is a crutch, and Konqul/Aerlen are hardly the only option. Mid-term Vygoid Excavator trumps both, as does Talth Excavator later on. Zolazin Saboteur is equally viable too, as are a bunch of other races like Drannik Fixer, Lazuli Fixer, Kronyn Excavator etc.


50 scan, yes. Your "but keep your core stats up and hull, build yourself a rep " isn't really true though. At rank 235, my ship is more powerful than a lot of ships 1.5x, 2x my strength. My hull as a non-fixer is over 11k (with some hull modules offline) and I still get hit quite often. I have 250 deaths from players in 650 days of playing, some of which is war time, but most of which is random BT hits (and to a lesser extent, badge alerts at a lower level). The only true way to keep a low deaths count is to stay halcs. Perhaps it's because I'm Mylarai Explorer, so people look at my race/profession and think I'd be weak, but I saw the same (if not moreso) at Konqul Fixer.


Change away from Sillixx, yes. Konqul Fixer? No. Simply put it isn't as good of a race as people say. As I already mentioned, Fixer is a crutch and nothing more. It stunts long-term growth in comparison to other racer/professions and is completely unnecessary. Grab an artifact base, some nice hull modules and you'll surpass the hull of a lot of fixers. I'm not saying Konqul Fixer isn't a good race/profession (I think I may have recommended it in the past) but it's outclassed. Lazuli/Drannik/Mylarai then go fixer. Otherwise, there's something better you could be using.

"Mid-term Vygoid Excavator trumps both" It really does....not.
your advice was decent before at times but I don't know where it is going now.....some is true but most of your comments are just saying what I say with a little twist. but alot is messed and contradicting. Mylarai Explorer is hardly the best race/prof at all. hardly.

"Lazuli/Drannik/Mylarai" what are you on about...? you are saying fixer is not the way to go but recommend lazuli...

I am steering cjkjcjk more towards what my opinions are.....more pvp style. not saying konqul fixer is a need to be race. hell....I said "konq fixer or excavator"

"Fixer is a crutch and nothing more." but....what about those who like to help base defence....what about those who like to be harder to disable.....not out classed.
"Grab an artifact base, some nice hull modules and you'll surpass the hull of a lot of fixers." well what about fixers that grab nice hull and hull mods?.....then will you surpass yourself as a fixer? that what you meant?

strm, you buff yourself up to be a lower rank GL god like your advice is law. I don't have much time to argue, only to give my views to people that need help....

It actually can, assuming the productions are decent in the first place.

If most of what I say is similar to what you say, shouldn't most of it be true? I give my opinions when giving advice - as does everyone.

Mylarai suited my needs, I needed to do a scan run and could only afford to change once. Therefore, Mylarai explorer was the best race in that situation.


Lazuli has it's uses, but I mostly put it with fixer as a crutch, and wasn't actually recommending it. The aforementioned races were the only races where fixer is the only real option to use that actually see a decent usage. I could have included Xecti, or Sillixx too, but I would rarely recommend Xecti and never Sillixx.






The base defense area I hadn't considered, yes. I would still hold excavator (or explorer even) over fixer for being hard to kill, with the exception of Lazuli.


No. What I'm saying is that with decent hull modules you'll see very little benefit from fixer, particularly when most fixers DON'T bother getting things like the Kalvium Platings, or the Silthion Platings, which means that other fixers will have less hull than you do. Pick a random fixer at rank 200. Probably around 9k, maybe 10k hull. There are, obviously, exceptions.

No. When I see something I disagree with, I point it out. My advice is far from law and people are free to take it how they wish.

If you disagree with something I say, put it intelligently, not with the aim to cause offense. You'll find offending me far harder than most.

I don't have much time for this. I won't bring up all the flaws that you just made for yourself.

Vygoid...20% res really not awesome.

"If most of what I say is similar to what you say, shouldn't most of it be true? I give my opinions when giving advice - as does everyone." yet if you look I said "some is true but most of your comments are just saying what I say with a little twist." most of your comments are tweaked things of what I said the other 1/3 is bad.

why do you get on at me for saying go aerlen or konqul if you are trying to justify being mylari explorer...you condemn a very, very nice pvp combo lazuli fixer to be a mere "crutch" yet you are under the delusion that mylari explorer is a decent combo....?


I pointed out excavator in my next post strm....like you say a bunch of random races for one post then change at the next, giving no clear advice for the post. I said "grab them change to konq fixer or excavator" also

just for the trivia i'm not a fixer atm I am a hacker for mission. I understand about excavators yeah, more hull is gained from them. but explorers....oooh no no! when I see an explorer I smash down on bt. well tbh races and profession don't count that for much at our rank (200s). anything will down down with a few clicks -/+ 5 at our level.

while I agree with many fixers being lazy with hull mods. the point of our advice is to say 'right, if you do go fixer get the other decent hull mods to really help the boost kick in' right?

well I am being blunt. you DO act like your word is law. sorry to say but, you go round trying to rip up others advice and say it's nearly all bad then flare up when they point something out. not trying to offend you, it's not my intention of giving advice and defending it.

Your advice isn't helpful though. All you say is "Bring up attack, defence and hull". No sh!t. I was just going to leave them there for the rest of the game. Maybe, maybe you might say "Go Konqul/Aerlen Fixer/Excavator" (Oh, and for the record, Aerlen does fixer better than Konqul). That's nice, but there's more to choosing a race than picking one of 2 at random then sticking fixer on the end. Have you seen me recommend Mylarai Explorer to anyone? No. I also explained why I am an Explorer. Simply? I could only change once - I couldn't afford to go Explorer and back, which, I agree would have been better. In a more competitive scenario, a hacker who enjoys PvP might choose Konqul Spy to get a boost to both. Excavator doesn't help hacking much, so as far as a hacking build is concerned Spy>Excavator>Fixer. Someone who wishes to level quickly off of missions is going to have poor attack/defense/hull. They're better off as an Inergon, or a Human than a Konqul or an Aerlen. You're narrowminded as to strategy, and your inability to think is what bothers me, and the point I was making, which was, and I quote:

All this spawned out of a passing remark. Silly, eh? We both have strong ships for our rank, but it seems we have rather different ways of going about the same thing. Let's leave that there. The only comment I have to say is don't take it as a personal attack when someone disagrees with you. Your advice style bugs me, I admit. You give blanket advice, with no reasoning behind it. I'm not saying write pages, but at least say why!

I was just meant to add a slight opinion to the thread. not wanting to go into all the big 20 sentence answers. I wanted to give him a slight indication as to what he needed to get up...now stop getting aggressive strm.


you had half the first para saying "go this race if you want to do this, go that race if you want to do that." what is it? match the race bonuses to the play styles?

In PMs, PLEASE explain this. "You're narrowminded as to strategy, and your inability to think is what bothers me'

I don't need to like every race and don't need to give fully justified opinions. how ever much you hated my first comment for it being a brief 2 sec post....you cannot really say your quote with much evidence behind it at all.
your actions weak when it comes to other aspects of the game. so don't attempt to bring me down.

Exactly!

I assume my advice was viable then? he's probably skipped right over it to the bottom of the page from your guys .. disagreement.

this is what i do.

i have no scan,or any of that stuff.

all i have in attack, defense, hull, energy.
rank 63.
hull 1703. then attack 600, defense 500 also 653 energy.
kills 354 and 41 deaths.then non player 135

I'm a little bit above you, but it's still comparable (especially since I see you on my bt all the time...)
