im thinking of going to the store to buy a disposable debt card and buying GP from it. but i cant decicde if i should get 10 quasi and save them for the dyson mission or buy the rest of the terraforming devices i need for the terra mission (6 left). and i would use the left over points from the terra for energy to do missions?

Terraformers x6
FATHER's x2
Save what's left over in the hope of getting more GP for Spatial Expanders.

Actually, nix that. Get an extra 2 terraformers to make your exotic go from 13x to 15x. If you still have GP left over, buy a spatial expander to make your exotic V Massive.

All of the above is added to my previous post so you can make a V Massive Exotic that's 15x while hopefully still being able to get FATHER's.

Terraformers x8 = 288
Quasi Spatial Expander = 50
Fathers x2 = 80

Total 418

Save the rest.

I'd have to respectfully disagree with Jawwa. While buying the terraformers for your exotic looks good in the short term, you can easily farm those last 8 (6 for the mission, 2 to go 15x) from NPCs. It takes a little time and effort but terraformers are easy to get. I didn't buy any at all for my exotic. Took me to about 250 to get all 12 but I got a lot of other nice drops in the meantime. If you're going to put $50 into artifacts, I would just get the extra $10 for a total of 60, get a set of FATHERs and your ten spatial expanders. Keep them tucked away till you do your exotic, plunk them on a crappy metallic and you're looking at a MASSIVE increase to your resource production. There is very little hope of farming enough quasi's from NPCs, but terraformers are relatively easy. Why spend $50 now for terraformers that you can get for free and then ANOTHER $50 later for your dyson? I fully support buying GP to fund this awesome game, but to me its a no brainer. Don't buy terraformers.

i think terra is dependent on ur rank.
if u just started, it could be a good idea as u won't really be able to farm out terra for a long time, and having a 15x mega exotic(as well as the dyson if you wanna go further) 3-6 month early can make quite the difference. i'm not including the rifts here cause u probably don't have good enough planets worth rifting yet... but i might be wrong~
on the other hand, if you are over 150 at least, it might be best to NPC hunt for it, defintely hunt instead of buy if you are over 250 i think.

But overall, first and foremost thing you should buy are 2x FATHER
and then 41 QSE (if memory serves me, u can pop another one on ur dear exotic)
and then... if you need to buy terra(low rank) buy terra, otherwise.... u can never have too many QSE(use on ARTIFACT planets)
well... if you do have too much QSE cause u bought like 500 already..... fluxes is the next best thing i would say~
other than that... more or less ur call, nothing exceptional. Just don't buy anything that u can get from AP pull because sooner or later you will have more than enough of everything(and the price on the stuff that u really can't have too much is a bit too much)

I was one of those players that had his exotic at level 25 and his dyson at 50. And I don't regret it one bit. Having those planets there to support me early on made all the difference. I would concur with Uy. If you're level 250 already, then don't buy the terraformers. If however you're below 100, I stand by my suggestion.

im level 268, i been hunting T.O. ships like crazy for a year and a half. i only found 4. but ill gohead and get the quasi and save them, and get one father. because ill only have enough for that. ill buy another father in the future.
