alright im probably going against the crowd when i say you dont really need to worry about defense.



and its for the exact reason you were told to get them.
these guys will be dropping good defense mods. and with your plan to not add decks with rank points (good idea) theres no need to get those yet as they are less deck efficient than the npc mods.

as always recommend getting all your npc drops. korteths hives reynards(might just not be equipped) and ballistae(rare i know) are the ones i dont see.

id say either do scanners or 12's for research.

as a fairly big forum user you have to know by now that arti is king.
your arti should be AT LEAST 2x your mining no matter what rank you are.
if its not you need to be focusing on arti planets. only mining you should take should be toxics as you are working on them.
if you still cant do this you should look into buying planets. given your legion defenses should be less of a problem than usual, but even disregarding that fact there are alot of arti planets that dont cost alot that still produce well undefended. small doesnt always mean its bad. just do a bit of math.

FATHERS: Get them. Nuff said.

what missions are you working on or will you be working on after mylari?

That's quite a lot of great advice, to reply I do have most of the NPC drops other than the ballistae and 2 of the silthion defences, some nice planets have come up for sale in legion as well as our monthly NPC weekend so the mission will be on hold for the time being.

The reason behind my lack of AP is simply bad luck. My scans come up with crap for unscanned arti planets, no better than small ER, mixed with bad luck on invades, all I have scanned belong to players at 1k+ making it necessary to go FFA if I fail or let it be a wasted scan.

I had to cut off my GP spending after a wild(drunk) night with CoT's base, and now that I had to give up my job and may not be able to get a new one, no more for a while, but FATHERS are more than likely the first thing i will be getting when I do (barring something even better being added)

After Mylarai, I'm looking into either the Silthion chain, or the Trellith chain, but I'll do any other if the benefit is greater

research +12s, then the final relays then scanners.

Do the terlilth chain, then taltherian chain. Use the ability to even out planets you plan to make into 22x with terraformer/crystals/tranformation arts. Then use it to make 15x C plasmas.

If you do plan to do a MSB stop adding decks with rank points. Choose a layout you want to end with and start working toward it, replacing weapons/defenses after a certain number of TOs/helmsmen.

If you are doing a LSB when you get to 10k AP regardless of number of decks. The sooner the better tbh.

I would give more advice but without knowing if you plan to do a MSB/LSB I can't direct you more than that.

I just got extremely pissed off at another failed invasion, so I'm konqul again, unbuffed attack is over 5k now, defense is 3500, right now I'm looking at ways to get that back up
