Finish hull.
Get next relays
Go for antimatters. I had them by rank 130, and they'll server you well up to rank 200 at least.

Seriously though, you might wanna upgrade your structures a bit. +5s will increase your income dramatically, skip +6 and perhaps go for +8 if you wish. I'll help pay for building them. With the increased mining and research, anti protons will be alot easier.

...and all by 110, knowing how slowly you rank.

I recommend:
Finish Hull. Then do structures to at least +8s. And shields to rift 1/3 (for planet defense).

Structures are the easiest way to increase production while slow ranking.

Then depending on your rank, energy (don't have to use it) or guns.

You may consider researching up to the CT-lab too.

Actually, didn't see your planets. My advice now would be:
Finish Hull
get X conduits (2 days, assuming no base research)
Planets. All the way up to +5s (which are affordable). Skip +6s, and go for +8s (when your RP picks up).

then take it from there.

Skip 6's, go to 8's. 6's have better production/space then 5's, but you can fit more of them, is actually equals the exact same, but 5's are cheaper.

So:

Finish Hull
+5 buildings (install research only)
+8 buildings
X Conduits, Zero Point Reactors
AntiProton Cannons?

I'd get X conduits first (after hull)
for 2 days of research, you'd get energy 12s faster.

Yes you have the right order though.
Skip +6s - It's worth upgrading to +5s as you go along though - they're relatively cheap.

In that case, pretty much ignore energy. Hull, +5s, then see what you need.

Yeah, +8, should be the next thing you do and then rift shields, before antiprotons.

Be aware that +8 and planetary shields at your rank WILL be expensive, but DCN Hull and anti protons are even more so. You might choose not to use all antiprotons immediately.

Looking at 70mil+ for hulls and weapons - probably 80-90mil including everything else. That's why you do +8 before antiprotons, for the mining boost.
