Post subject:  Question about Possible ship size...

When I was going through the available people to battle I attacked a lvl 47... yet his ship was a battleship and while I am ~20 levels higher that's a bigger ship than I have (I have a heavy cruiser). Is it possible to have a ship that big at that level?

Sure. All rank points go into decks.

bad strategy sometimes though, because with all the mods upkeep can be sky high, so can repair costs. also easy to raid.

Aye, but that become far less of a problem at 85. I for a long time struggled with upkeep. 11mil upkeep at rank 60 is not cool. It is now more than 20mil at 85, and I make 5x that a day. Now I'm upgrading my ship up until 60mil upkeep.

You get far better, with kurenite (and pawlacite) becoming more common, and making you more money.

i'm a Massive Star Destroyer (2770) rank 357 ... upkeep 2.5 bill a day, and i see about 2 to 3 billion a day after my upkeep

also, i did all decks after my initial points into engineers (up around 180) then it was all decks until recent weeks, and i have done fine (you know helmsmen and scientists are also crew that help with raid and raid def) i have a larger number of helmsmen and scientists that have made up for this ( from artifact shipments )

dont worry about it for now, do all decks and in 30 to 50 ranks start going for artifact planets (dont worry about AP now, get your RP up first for the better tech and soon more MP for the upkeep on that tech) then you will be fighting to get your AP up for a while but you will be better off than having weak tech and little credits to do anything else either.
and when you are a bit higher rank upper 200 to 300's you can shift your points over to more engineers and tac officers cuz your AP will be bringing in prisoners and bots, and Androids, (and pods/containers for cargo) dont use rank points for cargo unless absolutely necessary (limit this as much as possible)

The guy might also be more artifact focused in term of planet choices
more artifact=less research=lower energy research=less energy per period time
more rank point to deck=less energy/research=less energy per period time
less energy per period time=slower lvl up=more total artifact gained per artifact production per rank
more artifact production*more total artifact gained per artifact production per rank=way more artifact production per rank
=way more ship bot, rescued prisoner per rank
=way higher deck per rank...


I truly wonder what the size of deck a lvl 100 would have if they focused more or less purely on deck+artifact....

Decks are king early on. Some players might want engineers at early levels to skip through a few levels quickly but after that it's decks all the way. You need them to fit in all the equipment like 5 scanners for a scan blitz.

That's what I was doing till I got to Massive Levianth. At this size I had enough space for everything I needed to NPC. Since then I've put rank points into engineers and a few into tactical officers. Been doing that for about 200 ranks and shipbots have got me up to Heavy Star Destroyer (2562 decks). (Arti production is currently almost 10k/hr).

I used to rank about once a day at best but after switching to engineeers I can rank 3 times in a day. My upkeep is 2.9 billion and i've researched more tech than I can afford to install.

Some players stick with decks all the way through the game but putting some into energy helps with ranking quicker. I've got most stuff researched so don't need to worry about the speed of my ranking except for the problem of lots of open planet slots. I usually rank once or twice a day and throw the extra energy into my base.
