Okay, I am still a while away from my goal of autoranking the Taltherian chain, but it will not take me years, as PaulHsaio said (no offense). I'm thinking it will probably take another month and a half to two months more, maybe less if my luck with prisoners picks up.
Anyways, now these logs are more for me to keep track of how I am improving and how quickly. Feel free to make suggestions; they will likely be heeded, and certainly read.




Please excuse my crappy mouse-drawing skills.

I thought you would like to compare your stats with mine, so here they are:

As for research, I'm doing the Syncopated platings.

Feel free to compare

Yes, I run 674 energy with relays on and cores off Also, I don't have my mission dyson... yet.

Also, how many days have you played? Back in my day... 312/365

As for scientists, your artifact per hour must give you alot more Android Scientists than mine does lol.

You have alot more energy than me because of your engineers Also, I run heavy Nulls, because I haven't researched Thetacrons yet.

Save up your X-charge cells for Aegis Capacitors

Less than a minute ago
You can now build:
Hull Module - Perfect Syncopated Plating

That puts my max hull at 11,359.

Although we're in the same legion and i could have shared my ship for comparison that way, it would have taken far too long typing in legion comm, so heres me:

Research tree: You can see what I have thru my mods.

Scanners all done, +12 arti done, +1200 def done. Working on anti tachyon now. Done subquantum logistics once.

Played for 721 days, no resets, just long period of inactivity.

Alrighty, it's been a month, time to do this again and see where I am. First things first:




The check on Inverse Flux Jamming meant that I was working on that tier. I would like to know what missions should be done after the Taltherian Chain. So far I have:
Controlling the Anomaly x3 (Temporal Flux Orbs)
The Titancore Genesis (scanning stuff)
The Colossal Project (mission Dyson)
Surgical Precision (Voliir Chain)
Trellith Chain (begins with Unfamiliar Remnants)
Mysterious World (Exotica)
The Pawlacite Thaw (planetary shiznit)
Any further suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

NOOO you got to 10k arti/hour before me (Artifacts 9723 points / hour. I came so close lol.)

I suggest getting your attack up by a lot. For that, put some rank points in TOs (I have 2x your TOs and half your engineers lol). Also start saving up helmsmen for your Velox Thrusters. I already have 2 and halfway for my 3rd

Pull your artifact every hours to avoid MSPs.

I have been saving my Helmsmen. The count didn't go up by one for that entire month and a day.
I have also been saving up my XCharge cells.
I am still going to autorank Talth, I just ranked up because I got a couple of blockades, a T.O. Troop Carrier, and I had to invade a few planets.
The race to 20k AP/h is on!

Lol, I got my mission Dyson yesterday. And it has Rings

For your information, I'm gonna do the Trellith chain to 300, then freeze until I have the energy to autorank talth chain too

However it seems that my prisoner luck is gone. 1 in 2 days

Ahhh.... I still don't have mine, but I will make SURE it has rings. I'm not settling for Advanced Civilization Ruins like I did with my Exotic.

Mine is producing like crap right now. I dont even have 1 CTLab structure on it, no stations, no nexuses.
It could easily produce 400 more

Hmm, perhaps the silthion chain as well on your list to do?

Im tempted to make a trip over to ds to come chat with you and a bunch of other friends i have in there, but you know how busy ta's schedule can be at times. Your ship is coming along nicely though. I'm currently on 2300 engineers, so you're very close to catching me on that scale, however im also at 2449 tactical officers so im happy .

HyperChannel Relays? they are such a help, kick me from 63ish recharge to 95. definitely worth extra 45m upkeep per relay. plus the jump for supernovas is +403 energy at mk4 compared to intra d ml4 at 315, makes your goal that much closer for talth chain

Okay, about time for another update. I am getting pretty close to autoing this dang mission..... I have eventually gotten tired of doing nothing.
Admittedly, my AP/h has a bit of a boost right now, as I am holding a couple of planets for someone.

Yes, I ended up gutting my ship to save some credits.... I needed to upgrade most of my mods anyway.

Here's my research tree so far. I am working on Supernovas, and I am currently 0/4 on them.


I don't think you will care to see my mods.....
Side note, I only got my Anubix yesterday, and it's at rank 2.
Anyways, mathematically, I need 141 more engineers, 71 rank points, and 24 Rescued Prisoners. That equals (again, mathematically, I use 96,800 because that's what I got when I added it all up) 2,323,200 AP, or about 180 hours of my current production, or 7 and a half days. Hopefully it will hold up and I'll be able to post the results here next weekend.

I dont see how you can catch up to me by adding 20 ap/hour every 40 hours

Artifacts 17846 points / hour

Dude. Trellith. Dyson. Scan run. Get it though your thick head!

Another end-of-page bump so you don't have to go back a page to see it (yes, I know that when you reply, mine will still be close to the top, it's just easier this way).
