Quite sad that I left my Medium ship build and started to add decks via Ship-bots. Hard to keep installing/uninstalling modules as a MSB (Medium ship build), you'd always have to switch modules and tbh I got tired of it . I still think Medium Ship build is a great build (look at Demonshadow, Golgotha, etc) though switching modules constantly got me to decide to make my ship build as a Large or Massive (whichever) at this point on... More upkeep and higher damage cap, meh I guess I have to do things and never look back.

Lookin great but, must say im very sorry to hear you left your MSB.

More Engineers!
You have 3x my TOs but I have just over 2x your Engineers

Im currently trying a MSB, not too sure what im doing though! any tips?

Keep up the good work!

Brief Update of my Ship, gaining 27 ranks from my previous update. Now rank 427. Feel free to comment and/or compare.

nice work on your ship mate, surprised that your def is still under 13k but meh, attack is looking sweet but i guess you have quasi's installed now, finally caught up to your arti/hour but still have about 12/13 planet slots left to maximise my production, other then that were pretty equal (even though i do have about 70 ranks on you lol) only thing i'd say is to put a few more points into engineers till you have 10x E : rank ratio and get 120 E/hour asap as it will allow you to do much more. Btw you can still have 3k decks and still be a MSB, sure dmg cap is about 500 higher then 2k but you get more manouverability with that. (i'm aiming to stop adding decks entirely at 3k)
keep up the nice work!

Ty. I don't have quasi's installed, having 8 of those cannons would put me over 15B upkeep per day, plus they're not worth it. Tactical officer's my main priority and engineers would be second, trying not to rank too fast but not too slow. I like to pace myself. 120E/Hr is also my next goal and having to find Caelon Dispatcher and it's mission is a total energy drain and I HATE missions but sometimes you have to do 'em to get what you need. I'll soon get 13k unbuffed defense.

You've gone too far with the decks, pull up, pull up!

Gotta say I agree. Didn't you hear all those high ranks or other long time players saying they would strip off decks in a heartbeat. Anyone reading this who is btw 1600-1800 decks right now should absolutely freeze on the decks. Dump points into attack and energy.

Yeah, you definitely fell into the deck trap. But still a very strong ship, just poorer defense potential, that's all. You've got a good 1.5k extra attack (after removing Konqul) as a trade-off. Barely ahead in artifacts, but I have so many extra ranks

lol I will never use RPs on decks, I've been using Ship-Bots, should've gotten Anubix right now but idk why I didn't wait.
I'll catch up to you as soon as I sell some more things for CTP to buy arti planets. I'm getting close , I can feel it.

20k--ish SS with 2235 decks, you're stronger but I gotta try and push for more with what I got

More and more decks D: im only the millionth person to say that. Great progression, when are you going to stop adding decks?

Also saw you joined Cosa, hope youre enjoying it there. Being targeted yet?

Can't fully settle in right now due to many many planet trade I have. 3k or so decks would be my max.

Now rank 450 and finally back to Konqul Excavator. Changed my IGN to TimeManipulator from ARustyTinCan (A temporary IGN change just until I use all of my TMs in my cargo).

Plan on freezing/slowing down a lot to meet those goals?

Glad to see you cleaned up all that rust btw now if only we could help you with that addiction of yours. ....

It's not an addiction ffs, I'm in love... . Planning to slow down a bit a soak in the ap/h while I mainly focus on bases once I get my anubix (within a few weeks). Hopefully I'd get atleast 20k Unbuffed Attack by rank 500 (w/ Konqul).

3.5 ish days per rank up to meet the strength goal.

Uh oh, you're in deeper than I thought . ..you're too far gone. Good plan, you're making great progress. Don't let too many decks sneak up on ya though, can't lose weight in this game except through emptying your cargo.
