I tried to settle it. People never believe.

Onward Kara, more more more

You serious..?

Yup.

Hmm .. miss those days looking for the Larva.. Gratz !

from start to finish... found Larva and Caelon in less than a week.

Lol 1 week, the RNG god likes you.

LOL. I regularly sacrifice laughables to the RNG gods. Keeps em happy.


So... I've killed 45/90 of the silthion drones needed for all 3 Geminis. hoping to have my last gemini by next week. I've ranked a ton in the past week because I can auto-rank off NPCs now. Doing a minimum of 3 ranks a day on NPCs, then 2/3 of a rank on the VARA mission at the end.

Once I have my Geminis I plan on PvPing until I have auto-blasters, and the new protean armory upgrades.

After that... I'm honestly a bit lost. I know I want to slow my ranking way down so my ship strength can catch back up with my rank. But I can't freeze rank: I'm just too active to do that, so I'm thinking missions might be the best idea.

Possibilities: (in order of excitement/interest)

* The Dark Smuggler chain
* Talth chain
* The Voliir chain (for upgrading defense mods)
* Mylarai for the hull mods

Things that have been suggested to me, but I'm iffy on:

*Lazuli for an additional 2 NPC slots
*Exotic chain for the tactical re-modulation ability


I also plan on dumping E into the base in large chunks too, since I'll have Dimensional Logistics done in a few days. Thoughts or comments?

Edit:

On the side note...

IF u gonna auto rank on NPC's get ur self THE Konqul Excavator race and dont let me catch u with a Silly race like Mylarie or Krunyon or what ever u call that race.. NVM those freaking medals ..

Cause when u looking for TF's there is a lot of toxic and data optimizers that appear

I already AM Konqul Excavator, silly. Not planning on changing til I'm talth.

Awesome..

annndddd if you dont follow this plan I will send Tree to bug you till u get back on the plan

Tree already bugs me. Grumble Grumble.


But you didn't comment at all about my concerns for maxing arti planets w/o maxing passive cloak on them. whut do?

O god.... if you gonna make nice max artie planets u must max ur passive cloak and install the % mod cloak on them... This is a must.. cause there is to many sharks in the waters now... Cause just stacking Def and hurting ur production out of it wont help u..

For example : ( I love this part)

Lot of ppl think by heaving 60k + def on their planets (and ignore the cloak mods since they are sparse).. their planets should be safe...

Bahahahaha.... we see that at EotS all the time... and its so funny.. cause those planets will be taken care of in no time..

My honest advice is hide ur planets.. the higher the cloak the better.. On ur good planets dont worry about def and concentrate mostly on cloak .. According to Dan the cloak its not broken.. Have at least 22k cloak including the legion bonus ( this is where the 60 member legion comes in hand there is legions and then there is other legions)

Best planets to uplift would be the ones with SS already at ur choice..

If you dont have that.. well...hmmmm... welcome to the big leagues.. start trading, begging, stealing those crappy planets with those mods on them and the list goes on..

Hope this helps

Edit:

I would only use the % cloak mods on artie planets.. the rest can be replaced very easy such as maxed toxics and plasmas..




Here is an example of cloaked planet..( yeah i know i did go bit over board on the cloak on this one)

So according to Dan the cloak works so this planet at 30k Cloak is pretty much invincible

oh yeah I'm only cloaking arti planets for sure.

And that's what I thought. So terraformers will begin gathering dust in my cargo while I wait to slowly max out cloak on my project planets.

Sigh.

Good. It shouldn't be easy.

Like i said .. welcome to the big league.. Ranks does not determine if u are there or not.. its what u do with it

Congratz, Kara Thrace. Ya lucky hunter. I can't beat that record but you're doing quite well it would appear.

A quick update:

I've got all 3 gemini cannons now
Hit 3k TOs
Hit 3k Engineers
Hit 25k APH
Finished defense research today

Current goals: Get all 4 auto-blasters and the protean armory upgrades. So basically right now all I'm doing is PvPing. Killing lots of folks, often just after 12 hours has passed so sorry if anyone reading this is feeling butt-hurt. I promise, it was very personal for me, but had nothing to do with you

After I get my auto-blasters and protean armory upgrades I plan on doing the Exotic mission to get the tactical remod ability.

Next to research is cloak, then hyperchannels.

Adding all prisoners to TOs at this point, as I'm just shy of 12x energy/rank ratio.

So I have my first protean arsenal and my first auto-blaster. I should be getting my second auto-blaster today (need 60 reds, been averaging between 55-60 kills a day). Yaaay.

Anyways, not what I wanted to talk about. Currently, I'm at 2059 decks. I'm considering moving off the null build to thetas, but with the costs of repairing mods going up, it might not be viable. When I rank up I have to uninstall 3 trans-entropy drives and a few other mods so that I can fit on my reactors. My current reactors cost 4.3B to repair a piece, that's 13B every week or so. I haven't repaired the trans entropy drives yet, as I just got them, but I imagine they are quite pricey as well.

So I'm debating adding decks. I think I might add enough decks so that I can have the majority of my reactors installed so I can save on the costs of repairing ship mods.

Currently, my mph is 14.5. But I'm not saving very many credits because I'm always repairing stuff. Anyways, thoughts on adding decks? Pros/cons are always appreciated. Thx.

If you have the Silthion and Sha'Din defense mods on already just install those and it should give you enough space for the researched reactors. add in BM50s, if you have them on, Ion Pulse Ballistae and relays and it's 288 decks. which should be enough for the reactors( SUpernova MKIVs - 135) encephalon cores - 48, and the RSL ones 60-72 decks, but if you have mission energy mods I'm not sure how much more fat you could cut.

Anyways I always uninstall the lowest repair cost modules when I have a desperate need to switch things around. Makes it less painful as I only have 10k mining.

I run 2400 decks and for ease of rank up I keep on my reactors, encephalons, and RSL energy/shield mods.

Right now when I install reactors I'm installing: Genetarr Transmitter x4 (size 10), Encephalon Cores x4 (size 12), XRP Warp-Charge Pack x4 (size 18), T-Plasma Dynamos x4 (size 22), Supernova Generators MK IV x3 (size 45)

So that comes to 383 decks. I don't think I'll add decks for the genetarr transmitters, since they are not particularly deck efficient anyways. So that brings me to 343 decks needed. When added to my current decks that'll bring me to 2402 decks.

I think that's reasonable.

Also, I have my BM50s uninstalled right now since they aren't very deck efficient. Pretty sure they're going to stay uninstalled.

Thanks for your response, Serne!

...or instead of adding decks. You make small goals for hull and when you reach them remove a module and install more energy mods perm, but then again eventually you don't even want the energy mods. You can just add engineers until the energy you need from the mods is not needed and just never install them.
