If you slow rank with that artifact production its should help building your ship tough if you have any interest I can propose you a ... nice ship building but only by PM .

No major update, added the new timed mission mod X3, for extra energy and scan.
changed races to aerlen excavator, so att and def are quite balanced now, and arti production is upto 15K/hr
Did a medium scan spree with the best tech.. cost 30Bill when all said and done for 5 new planets and one theft.
time to go slow rank as much as possible

thank you again for letting me use your CT lab, those veloxes jumped my defense by a little over 2k, and double my shields

you seem to be doing well but i would have expected you to have Heavy null rays by the time you are lv 300, i have them and i am not even lv 200. Good luck in getting better mate!

congratulations on reading SOME of the posts... not all researched tech is installed IMMEDIATELY... costs/upkeep is always factored into any equations of upgrades. as well as 'immediate' gains versus what goals are being done atm.

why do i care about your page??

working on base research so i can donate as much as possible when unable to rank before sleeping.
all planetary modules have been researched except topopolis rings.

Still planning on freezing/slowing majorly once unlocking talth. only 3 full parts left to go, 165K energy to go.

zooming up there, still a konqul or no?

our defense is almost the same mine is up to 11084
like you i have weapons offline, my attack is a sad 3811 but i dont have any researchable weapons mods on.

You've got me way outclassed though in the power field, im only cranking 1302 with relays off



all my points are going into tac officers at the moment, trying to hit 12k attack / defense at rank 400.

and nice arti / hour im jealous.

im AERLEN Excavator now, thats helping my arti along for an extra ~1.6-1.7K.

ill be putting weapons back on ASAP, i HATE not having any attack.

ahh, im still a mylarai explorer looking for Caelon / hybrids while i slow / freeze rank my way up. I feel ya on not liking the low attack, but since i dont really attack anything at the moment, except for the stray crimson hawk an Troop Carrier that breezes on my BT tis not really all that important to me. My scan / cloak are both riding 3k and im working on hacking right now. Wanted to get on teh hacking leaderboards for a while now so thats my main focus at the moment.

I can attest that he is getting harder to kill

thanks bloodynine, I'm working on my arti production STILL lol... its quite an addiction. i can see why mento is buying everything on the forums lol. Ill never be that bad, but im working for a respectable income
I think ill start saving all ship upgrades each week and use them on sat or sun. with the exception of prisoners/rankpoints, which are all energy until im satisfied.

planets are coming along nicely, MCs are X18, X15, X5.


Income : storage
Minerals 8608 78,500
Artifacts 20625 202,000
Research 11999 104,650

Been fighting nicely with the CN members who arent under halc... which is the majority, but a few will come out to play. B9 is always there for some good online action.


No big changes, working on getting a couple stealth screened planets for storage sheds... buying a x18 irradiated later in the week, that should keep me sorted for income/upkeep.
going to try doing NPCing ONLY on even '10' ranks.. 530, 540, 550 etc...
opened 2 more npc slots as well.

So i guess its time to slow down the ranking a lot more then i have been, keep growing stronger and harder to kill.
Just been increasing TO's, ill continue that until i surpass engineers by a good chunk, maybe stop at 5K and go back to energy.

If anyone sees me and hits me, let me know what you think of my ship.

Well your not outside of my BT range yet, so if i see ya ill give ya a go for sure.

weirdly forgot to post my rank on the last one..

rank 556

mining 10.8K/hr
arti 22K/hr
research 12.5K/hr

contract available and good for ~3bill when at full capacity

Love the Crew Size (You don't need Heavy Theta's). Artifact/Hr is crazy as always. Would suggest to get Exergonic Inverter Mark III, other than that the ship looks good.

using the contract atm to get credits.
dont really NEED the def boost.. so meh..
arti is always increasing.. its the only way to play and grow harder and stronger
