Max solinya: currently at rank 41 (up 3. standards are at the level now that theres next to no natural unoccupied that im willing to colonize, might have to wait for another trip giving away toxic uplifts before theres much more traction)
Reach 8k hacks, 6747 (up 8 been on the backburner recently but will probably refocus efforts on this soon now all my blues and yellows are done with)
Maximize Nanoshear sensor. up 107 scans and complete!
Complete the lutuma chain: at 0/20 on the lutuma coup. ctps the difficulty now 20k to unlock is a lot of warehouses that could expand my cap to a level thats requires less attention as ap grows further. Will probably wait to see what the eyes ability is before making a call on if its worth making that sacrifice at this point in time.
Complete the Litheor chain. currently at 6 of 10 iterations on reaching the core.
More and more goals completing as my ship advances on.
Given im rank 1200 Its time for the obligatory stryll seeker tot up: Stryll Seeker (Uses Left: 555) 555 scan runs worth of seekers left, I dont think this will be a issue any time soon XP

Time to invade and colonize has fallen further to the point invasions are nearly possible daily. Research cap is however making this optimum credit gain more difficult and I would imagine a fair chunk of research is lost due to capping when afk, however the combination of increased research and mining overall has certainly lowered the time it takes to invade/colonize, despite all of the popular wisdom suggesting that I would be needing mining focused worlds.
A possible hitch that may throw my finances into disarray for a while will be the new ct lab designs, as I intend on throwing all my research at ours until all the designs are found. I will probably have to sell off some artifacts/ctp for a while at that point to fund upkeep and invasions, but I am not too worried about that being a serious problem.

As always, comments and comparisons welcomed!

We are past the hypothetical daily invasion point. My zero mining world build remains, despite all conventional wisdom, highly functional. Mining has ballooned as my ap/hour has enabled more and more 15-22x planets to be found, each of which normaly provides a good amount of passive mining on the side. However for the sake of fairness I must state that I currently have about 1.5-2k mining per hour coming from mining worlds I am currently holding in prep for my travels during bane when they will be taken by legion-mates who do run mining. On the flipside however I feel the calculation is fine because the passive mining from ap worlds added to replace those slots will come out to around the same amount. Either way you come to figures less than 24 hour invades. The fact I currently have a 2.2tn pot with no sales of ctp or em in recent times (the converse infact) demonstrates that while the hypothetical credit production is obviously untenable (due to research capping in under 4 hours) My ship is fending off the warned of credit shortage I would supposedly end up facing by now.

Finaly, I must admit, I am tempted to move to a medium 4002 deck build. An increase of my cylcopean buffs by 3%, access to the ravyn chains blue badges actualy have some use and silvers make 2:1s as well as the big, repeatable 20% cloak 2000 ap storage corruption market arti is attractive. I'm on the tipping point.

As ever, comments and comparisons welcomed!

Its a brave new world. Having been a ssb for almost four and a half years at the rank of 1480 I've finaly made a move to the medium ship 4002 decks build. Hence, todays update will be split into two halves, my final ssb one and my new msb one, with the usual discussion on the msb post.

First up, the final ssb build

I definately like the idea of picking this one up for its high cloak which I cant add through ap but at the end of the day im not going to sacrifice getting two quantum accelerators and using magnetospheres to max passive cloak on each of my permacloak ap worlds. Case of if its a goal, but its lower priority than expanding ap so I'm not going to be too eaten up about slow progress)

Theoretical income further increases. Research growth from now on is effectively halved thanks to the hyperturbine eating 100 scientists from every set of 200 of each artifacts. The ZMB remains perfectly functional. However, as expected (despite many naysayers believing they wouldn't be released at all) the release of the new ct lab designs married with what has been effectively daily invasions for almost 6 weeks from starting traveling has eaten far into my credit stockpile. for context for how my build works during normality, since release I have sunk into various research topics and ct labs 100m research, a credit value of 2.5tn, which if were instead changed into credits would put me at plus 600bn rather than -1.9tn on octobers update.

Ap growth continues well, quality over quantity being maintained as well as a healthy stockpile of cloak % artis stored up (folds and where possible worlds above cookie cutter vm being the current restraint).

As for the real crux of this update, the transition to the 4002 deck build, killing my long standing ssb, I had been thinking about it a while. Dans really screwed over ssbs, gating two (now three) major bits of content behind the 4000 deck barrier is a big stick for those in ssb builds and the growth of the deck % based buffs a additional carrot. Eventually the moment the sileena chain came out I was fairly sure my mind was made up, real clincher came with the second missions hacking boosting passive ability (I absolutely love abilities that add extra rewards rather than simply make things easier) Am I sad to have had to make the move, absolutely. Do I think all ssbs should change over, absolutely not, that would make the game and ship logs far more dull. Do I applaud dan for managing to get me to make the move without absolutely killing the ssb build by changing up the damage cap? Yes, choosing where your deck count is one of the only ways of de-homogenizing the ships in the game. Do I think dan should ever do anything like a deck restriction above 4k in the future? absolutely not! More % based on decks is perfectly fine, a cloak one for instance we have yet to have, but complete content blockades on anything but the largest builds is not a good idea. And while I may no longer be a ssb, I will not be dropping the ZMB.

That said, I will appreciate the higher max scan to both locate cloaked planets more and increase defence against crit and counter crit hacks, the ability to avoid having to switch my ship up all the time to either a npc rank mode or pvp mode as a added side benefit to the 3% Cyclopean buff increase, new bt market items and two new chains.

As always, comments, comparisons and discussions welcomed!

two thoughts

1) good job, like your progress and think you have a great plan and are a fun player
2) you will NEVER pass me on hacks so get used to your postion on that leaderboard and maybe aim for raids?

So for the first time since starting this finance section the time to invade and colonize has increased by a smidgen. I'd say this is probably due to the consumption of half of my android scientists by the theory lab and that I currently have a fair few project planets/cloak bricked planets awaiting work, producing next to nothing but increasing the planets owned stat. Regardless, this is mainly a theoretical thing as its not a issue given my credit supply has ballooned to over 4tn and thats after giving several trillion away. With the number of slots I have left anyway Im not hitting any kind of daily invasion atm, as much as I would like to be able to have that many planets that justify taking haha.

Colonize and invade time rebounds down a tad. Credit supplies are not a issue still, the depletion in funds is ironically me helping out a high ranked mate who isn't a zero mining world build. Strong growth in mining production from ap worlds and the increase in standards meaning im not colonizing and invading very much (and am approaching my planet limit for rank anyway when I'll have do drop the terrible rookie mistake worlds I still have, so not going to increase too rapidly any time soon).

Colonize and invade time lurch downwards significantly thanks to impressive mining growth coupling the usual research growth. This is key in it being beyond simply theoretical as while research caps in under 3 hours mining still takes 7, meaning gains in mineral production income are subject to less loss by cap as it caps less often (once when im sleeping vs many times a day with research). The Incredibly healthy 9.5tn ballance built up since last update clearly showing credit income remains no problem for my zmb.

Reach 2nd on the raidsboard, Currently 5th @ 24027 (status quo position, up 250 raids, hacks still more a focus than raids, so only grabbing yellows on kills feeding the raids)

Reach the killsboard, currently unranked @7296 (up 288, gap reduced down to 436 from 802, A fair amount of progress made here.)


Finances


Colonize and invade time make no moves. Im not overly surprised. A lot of the planets I've gained recently are either projects or require folds ect so are producing very little. So the gains in credits gained per day from improvements to old planets, and a portion of the new gains are offset by the unproductive new planets added. Credit stockpile decreased due to spending 5tn, but has mostly recovered.

As always, comments and comparasons ect welcomed!

Here at last, just after ship log showdown gets updated, is my rank 1815 update







Shots at cap to kill: 704 (up 152)

Still a talth excavator, project planets seem to replace themselves with more project planets. Also, although my planets owned count remains wrong (1 bellow the actual planet screen count) it apparently is what my planet cap is based off, so im permanently down a slot unless support fix it. Hit the planet cap and so started to have to abandon planets, which hurts as its gp expense but it is quite satisfying dropping those 'realy great' planets from back in the day. Bye bye average vr icys!

Also, solinya finaly maxed yes! 2% more ap buff permanatly is sweet. Ended up buying some planets to cover the finaly 3 ranks I had just before this update.
Targets
8 Hours of ap storage with excavator: 8.01 hours (down 0.01 hours.) Broke the 3m mark and still have 26 warehouses to get online. after that though, I imagine it will end up dropping bellow the threshold unfortunately as most of my ctp supply to buy more warehouses was just traded away.

Goals
330k (excavator) ap/hour (complete!)
New goal: 340k (excavator) ap/hour (complete!)
New goal: 350k (excavator) ap/hour (complete!)
New goal: 360k (excavator) ap/hour (complete!)
New goal: 370k (excavator) ap/hour (complete!)
New goal: 380k (excavator) ap/hour (complete!)
New goal: 390k (excavator) ap/hour (Currently at 384.5k with excavator) (AP up 55k)

Achieve infinite wisdom medal (on ice.)

Max solinya: currently at rank 100 (up 8 and complete!)
Maximize the Cosmic Rail, currently at 0 out of 21 (Yep, still not happening right now)

Pvp Goals
Reach 8th on the hacksboard, currently at 15th @ 24676 (down 4 on position, up 1589 hacks, a lot of people hacking and me not feeling the hacking has lead to this slipping. Leaving it in goals but realisticly its not even close to getting achieved any time soon)


Reach Quintuple marauder Currently at 24569/25000 (up 292)
Reach 2nd on the raidsboard, Currently 6th @ 24027 (down 1 position, up 292 raids, easy to retake 5th if I tried however raids remain not a priority vs hacks)


Reach the killsboard, currently unranked @7486 (up 190, gap reduced down to 190 from 436, close to within stricking distance though less to do with my actions and more the stagnecy of the killsboard. Imagine in in the top 60 now, so not much to go now!)


Finances


Colonize and invade time inches up ever so slightly, but given Im now at planet cap its only more unlikely that this will be a hinderance as planet quality thresholds to take are higher than before, and with solinya maxed unoccupides quality thresholds are now the same as invades, rather than significantly lower (eg vl 3x)
