So i'm just wondering...
1.What are the required energy and attack/defense for a rank 480 to auto rank?

2.What is the best race for auto ranking, what is the best profession?

Thanks in advance for any help

The best race Is inergon, human gives roughly the same benifit but you end up doing 10% less stuff per rank due to gettin 10% more xp instead of having 10% more energy.

Proffesion, theres realy no big difference. Explorers probably best due to allowing you to scan more planets. but realy, when it comes to autoranking proffesions dont mean much

I would argue that konqul than human or inergon. Less energy per kill, plus its helpful for bases, planets, and pvp.

Drannik is pretty good if you already have good enough energy. 12x your rank in energy is about where you should be.

1. At rank 496 I can autorank off of npcs with 5893 energy and ~9000 unbuffed attack depending on what I have installed. You want 12x your rank in energy though. Defense does not really matter but atleast 4-5 thousand is nice so you are not repairing all the time.
2. Konqul/inergon excavator/explorer
Good luck

Otherwise good post.

Drannik Fixer or Explorer.

Probably obvious I know, but ideally you shouldn't need race and profession to autorank on NPCs.

Good attack and 12-13x energy per rank should get you there quite easily, then your race and profession can better be used elsewhere.

Litheor, Talth and Uldri are all considerably better than Drannik, Konqul, Inergon or *gulp* Human.
