Idk if this should be in the beginner's hub or strategy section, since it's... well... beginners' strategy... But... Well... Yeah... Ok....

Productions: Mining: 188 Artifact: 623 Research: 409 Currently working on: My 4th Dominion Cannon MKIII My 3rd CipherBot Gravshell Construction 3 (88k/140k), then back to [Hull/Shield] Research. Opinions? 1000 Kills. I'll get there before too long. Artifact production, with the few planets I'm capable of scanning and actually getting. Artifact base helps wonders. (Thanks Delta!) Umm... I can't think of anything else to put on here. Any questions please ask. Also note that I'm working into an SSB build around rank 200. Won't be adding decks 'til then. I probably should've mentioned that earlier? Thanks in advance!

You're doing very well from what I can tell. Almost finished with the d cannons and cipherbots at your rank is awesome! Other than saying to keep working on AP and RP planets I can't think of any advice unless you can find a good ssb player to give you some tips.

Thanks in advance! if you don't already have them the protean armories are also very good to have. you have a nice crew size (can i borrow some TOs btw?) so raid some people off the bt  i think you could use more research income and a bit more mining may be good as well.

Doing pretty well, as far as I can tell. Relays will come in handy eventually, when you start getting lots of alerts for NPCs (and have no energy to do anything). Not sure what I had on at that rank, but positrons sound about right. Your research plan sounds good. Eventually, you'll want to get into the CT lab since there are lots of goodies in there for your planets. Also, I'm envious. I had about the same amount of hull at 61, but it was from deep core neutroniums so I could barely afford them... nice job balancing your mods and upkeep

Im at rank 63 and whenever i see you on my battle tab, i don't bother even attempting to hit you. i know from experience you are far too much of an energy sink, used up all my energy one time when we were around rank 40, didn't do a hell of a lot. Anyways its looking really good, nice job on the proteans (i only have 1 so far, mistakes made and all).
I'm very jealous of your tactical officer count though, i barely ever get prisoners..

I've gotten all my MKIII's, so I'll be installing those (Probably dropping some hull) at rank 100. My goal is to get 1000 kills before then, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to. I might have to boost my attack to get that done.
All stats here are unbuffed.

Obv barriers are much to expensive for ur rank, unless someone is willing to give u a few bill to up ur planet def, (250mil each...)

Obviation barriers aren't terrible at your rank if you can increase your artifact enough to pull and sell high-demand artifacts (like ancient crystal foci and time manipulators). That said, it looks a little like your artifact production is falling behind. Stats look nice

With a smaller amount of arti, 600ish, pulling once an ohour increases the chance of ancient crystal foci.

I wouldn't recommend slow ranking at your rank because it's nearly impossible to have a decent enough production to make a difference. With that said, you're allowed to play however you want to play.

The Arti base probably helps.

Eh, until you arti is 2-3k per hour, the base might as well be your sole income. 50k from a base is about 2k/hr with no storage cap.
That said, it's definitely important to keep upping your ap/hr.

From your hull modules, you only have 540*5 + 200*3 = 3300 hull. How long have you slow-ranked to get more than 2k hull from brackets alone?

Indeed I had overlooked the fact that he is fixer. Still pretty good for you rank
