-Wow, you have made a big mistake there my friend, research is the best resource at your level, but once you get a bit higher artifact starts coming into it's own, and quickly makes research close to obsloete, so well done on the high research but you need to get your artifact up A LOT. Maybe even higher than your current research production, there is nothing worse than just concentrating on one resource at lower levels, hoever your low enough level that it's easily fixable (I know, i went from 1.3k arti to my current 12k in a matter of months).
-Also you have made one of the biggest newbie mistakes, apparently you didn't learn much from your time before the reset. The biggest obstacle to getting new ship mods is by far not the research to unlock them, it's the mining to afford the upkeep. Too many times I have seen people over-researching and going broke.
-Well done on going for the Dom Cannons, what you want to do is get rid of any scan/defense/cloak/shield mods you have on (keep 50 scan so you can see T.O. Troop carriers and the like). Then max out energy, hull and attack, before starting to phase defense in again until that too is maxed out.
-While not installing them, you want to research scanners for your scan blitzes, planets = power. I'm not going to tell you what to research next because you can't support it with 19 minerals.

I still have over 10k ctp. Trust me, minerals are not a problem for me. So no, I did not make a "newbie mistake".

And how is that not a stable cash flow? 10k ctp, can easily get me more credits than I need. Hell, I could use 2k of it and be set for a while, and spend the rest on a couple of maxed toxics. You see small credits, I see a hidden stash.
