Ello snap, I think you were in the RBHL with me. Firstly, your artifact production needs to go up. Some throw around the figure that your arti production should be 50x your rank, but that's nonsense, unless you burn tons of GP and have tons of generous legion members feeding you marvelous artfact planets. But you need to find some artifact planets to colonize, asap. Be sure to spend no rank points on decks, spend it 4:1 or 3:2 tactical officers to engineers. Your mining production doesn't need to grow anymore for awhile.

These are my stats
Battles 9161 (Master)
Player Kills 578
Deaths from Players 168
Non-Player Kills 105
Planets Found 195
Planets Occupied 23
Planets Captured 8
Missions Completed 40
Scans Performed 359
Successful Hacks 33
Successful Raids 150

and alright will try to do all that

doing real good, but youre amount of deaths for youre rank is a BIT worrying..

go for the 5 platings of neutronium, otherwise looking quite good.

Being as you are in the same legion, Icarium and I could have told you this awhile ago....and we may have so excuse the repitition if so

#1. No more RP into decks, but instead apply to Tactical Officers and Engineers (Personally I only fly around with ~700 energy and that is more than enough to do what I want to do) Shoot for 500 TOs and then re-evaluate.

#2. Get 3 more Dark thrusters as soon as you can (You can remove the Megapulser and Jammers for space) Only use the Jammers if you are actively hacking and only until you have enough blues to get a cipher bot, then just use that if you want to hack.

#3. This is probably the most important in terms of ship mods, but get the other 2 proteans. You may have to fish for yellows, but the sooner you get those the better. They are by far one of the best badge items especially for our rank.

#4. I wouldn't colonize anything but arti planets until I had at least 2k/hr (preferrably more as you can NEVER have enough arti)

That should be a good start and hopefully get you where you want to be. Your mining is almost double mine and I could comfortably handle your current upkeep without much effort so that should last you a good while before you need to find another mining planet. Your research tree is nicely progressing so not much advice there. Once you've gotten those first 4 suggestions accomplished then we can reevaluate and see where to go from there.

I think snap might have just been having weird luck pulling android helmsman all the time. kind of like I went a whole month without getting fewer than 3 android scientists a day at AP/h around 2.5k.

And snap we were in the RBHL together for a while, back when DrDoom and Jimjimtata were there.

oh ya i remember, and no im getting adriod helmsman almost every time from the base shipments but i thought it could use extra boost, should i not put the points into helmsman then? put them in engineers instead?

Put the rank points in engineers or tacticals. depending on if you're going for a power ranking build or a PvP power build. 5:0 at rank up for engineers and 1:2 on prisoners seems to be a common split for eng:tacs.
