So, what is the best level to upgrade your weapons? There was a thread on this ages ago - but it's rather out dated with base production being added. Currently I'm at 124 staring at the RP cost for anti-protons wishing they weren't so much. |

I'm slow ranking and am 432. Don't upgrade your weapons every time only after you reach 3/3 on the current weapon research. Then upgrade. Also be sure you check the daily upkeep and you'll have enough+ revenue each day. I got caught once where I needed 22hr of mineral production for my daily upkeep. That really was annoying for about a week until I was able to increase my mineral production. |

Thunder, let me give you a comparison. I'm rank 121. I've just got and installed 3 heavy sings. I'm getting by well enough in PvP with around 1000 attack and 500 defence. I'm saving space to run a 4th cannon, and I'm working on +8 buildings and scanners in the meantime. |

I have 1387 attack and 597 defense with no dark ring thrusters.  So upgrading to anti protons seems overdue...

If I hadn't changed from Konqul spy to zolazin sab, I'd have around 1100 attack. Need another 24 space for another sing. launcher. I ONLY run dark rings, nothing else. the rest is made up of special modules and helmsmen. I also run 1 hull and no shields. I'm doing OK in PvP now too (getting the 4 Mk3s, 3 armouries and last DQF before it's too late and PvP becomes a nightmare). |

Best gain is from the first level of a new weapon tier. |

Until you get to Theata-Chron Cannons ASAP. Once you get there, I suggest you wait untill you hit heavy ThetaChron Cannons and not again until Heavy Quasi Chaotics. I actually upped into light theta-chron cannons, decided I'd wait for Heavy THeta Chron cannons, and then decided, no I'm going strait to heavy quasi Chaotics. the price tag (and therefore upkeep-drag) of those weapons is cost prohibative, so you shodul wait once you're up there. ~Q |

I'm currently researching Heavy Thetacons. I am nearly done. As i am doing this, i am taking every mining planet i can get. GET YOUR MINERAL PRODUCTION UP, THEN UPGRADE TO THE FINAL WEAPONS TIER! That's my advice. Right now, while researching, i have Heavy Nulls installed. |
