Turns out I desire to autorank on NPCs FAR TOO MUCH. Have gained 109 ranks since the last update doing a scan run tomorrow to break 750 planets and go over 800 medal points. Will update when I'm done with it.

Since the last update I have: Found caelon and reached auto-rank capability on NPCs. Also decided to add some decks because I wanted to fit some scan mods on full time for the NPC runs. 2808 will be my stopping point for a while though. Once I find the Hybrid and finish the high scan parts of the talth chain my scan will go down. Also changed race to Konqul.

Rank 521 +112
Konqul Excavator
Attack: 11621
Defense: 8787
Scan: 2521
Cloak: 1529

2804 Decks -------------- +404
25650 Cargo ---------- +6060
4000 Engineers ------------ +1878
3455 Tactical Officers ---- +640
1646 Helmsmen ---------- +645
4161 Scientists ---------- +1157

Minerals 11033 units / hour 78900 storage
Artifacts 23042 points / hour 150400 storage
Research 12075 / hour 87,550 storage

Goals currently are:

Hit 25k AP/H at the very least by rank 550
Find Silthion Hybrid Larva
Finish Talth Chain - on Echoes from Taltheria now at 1/10
Start on Titancore Chain

Mini-Update

Rank 553 AP/H passed 25k. just a little bit late on the goal but close enough.

4411 tacticals - +956
4124 engineers - +124
4701 scientists - +540
2069 helmsman - +423

MP 12183
AP 25152
RP 13327

So it has been around 5 months since my last update. My ship has grown significantly in that timeframe, but nowhere near as much as I would like.



Buffs active in the picture are a shield amplifier and a Crimson Amplifier.

+86 decks
6463 Tacticals Gained
3410 Engineers gained
5975 scientists gained

In those 5 months I have finished... the Kronyn, Silthion, Talth, Mylarai, Voliir, and Litheor chains, as well as gotten myself the Eureka medal. I am at 705 days played.

Update coming April 7th.

So 2 months on here is another update.

In the interest of helping out newer players to the game I made a ridiculously well kitted VL 16x toxic for a low-middle rank player. Below is a picture.



There are no researched structures at all on that planet by the way.

No wonder you autranked me, you have 3k more Engineers. But I beat you with everything else

Have been basically without access to the internet for the majority of the time since the last update. I have been attempting to use a 3 year old smart phone that crashes when I attempt to load the planet tab, and randomly whenever I am playing aside from that to keep my productions cleared at least, but sadly it has not exactly worked out well.

I do not foresee any of my goals being met by the 6-7-14 update except the NPC kill goal. Full time net access shall be had in another 5 days, but I don't think it will help all that much in meeting most goals. Too much time has been lost for me to achieve them all.

Bumpdate ... will be filling this post with Pictures and info in a bit. Gotta spend my Rank Points first.

Will say straight away I missed FAR too much of my production to hit my tac goal, which should have been achievable relatively easily. I also did not make my NPC goal. NPCing from the phone was analogous to scraping my junk across a cheese grater. I also did not reach my APH goal as from the phone I couldn't even reliably access my planet tab. More than a month without talthing or scanning. :/

I did finish Drannik, and the high level Crimson chain, but not Xecti, however i am most of the way through it. Working on last step of the T.O. chain for the Cyclobeams, but I hate spending cages on the mission effect that robs me of the cloak needed for the mission.

Picture below added just prior to the following update. I forgot, ever forget? Happened to me.



Finally

A new update: In the last pic I was not an excavator. Now I am once again an Excavator.

Just the important bits in this pic... except rank ... frack.

1171

I was trying to figure out why you have 300 ranks on me and about 15K extra arti on me, but we have almost the same amount of tac officers??

But I see your engineers are much higher than mine.

So, are you happy that you have more energy or do you wish you had put more rank points into TO's??

The engineers are almost solely because I like to be able to do the Tejiar, and Klorvis missions daily. On top of those it definitely helps on the use artifact, and low XP return LM tasks.

As for wishing I had put them into tacs instead? Not so much. I didn't really like the idea of spending 3+ hours, and 3+ ranks NPCing to hit the proper ratio for the mission completes each day.

Name changed to Neverhalc. Broke 20k tacs and 70k aph.

Finally rifted my baby. Thoughts? I have her buffed to the nines at the moment only missing Vara and the Scruuge % buffs on her currently. Also the uldri structure % buffs cuz uh ... it'd take me longer than I have already played to make up the production loss to get them.

I fully support neverhalc and his endeavors. I say OOOH YEAH!

So methinks maybe ya'll are gonna hate me for this... but I scanned a natural dyson today. So I now have 2 rifts inside of a day.





Yes. She got a small moon. I am still insanely happy with this.

CONGRATS YOU LUCKY SUCK SUCK !!!

what is the planet ID number by the way ?

3235670 - Planet ID for Natural Dyson

so, based on this topic that dyson has been floating around for a good 2.5 years without being scanned ...
