but im halfway to finish kronyn, dilemma
and also is there any research that i should working on it asap? which one?

thank you,
bov

You should be doing full blocks of research - so all 3 or 4 tiers of each one. The only other time is defense if you're upgrading 3+1=>3+1 like I do (so you research the full block as before, then the first tier of the next one and install that due to the dampener/thruster split).

Aaaand it's pretty clear that you're ranking up slowly. It's a nice enough so long as you're satisfied with never being strong. Otherwise, might want to bump your energy up somewhat.

thanks for the advice thunderbolta, i will do the def res asap! and try to reach nacelles at least.
today is my 230 days of playing GL, actually ive tried to rank up faster lately, mission and npc

Yeah Bov, as always, Thunderbolta speaks the truth.
Love the way your ship is progressing, +1 to increasing energy, don't be afraid to rank and keep rocking

Your ship is far more than fine for where you're at. Since you are interested in NPCs now, I'd put a special focus on energy and increasing your attack, but that's about it.

My main suggestion might sound odd, since your question is about the state of your boat, but I think the best thing you could do right now is set the "Eye of the Universe" award as a goal for yourself. It will take you a bit of time to complete the research and acquire the right modules, but your ship is already doing pretty well... so really, the *best* thing you can do right now is focus on finding more nice planets to improve your production.

-----

There are many ways you can get your scan high enough to scan 501 planets, but a surefire bet would be:

1) Spend your blue badges on 4 Decryption Quad-Frames (100 scan total)
2) Spend your silver badges on 3 Tetra-Seek Targeters (120 scan total)
3) Complete X-Manifold Sensing (2960 scan total)
4) Complete the Genetarr Chain through "Thoughts Revealed" (not cheap: 22,750 energy total), which will yield you 2 Stryll Transponders (40 scan total), and 4 Mk II Genetarr Transmitter (220 scan total -- will also add 80 energy)
5) Temp race/profession switch to Sillixx Explorer. Put on a calming amp, and swap out your gear for *everything* that increases your scan and energy, then buff accordingly (don't forget to include a Stryll Seeker in there)...
6) voila!

Note: if you don't want to do a race change, reaching the second tier of Hyperflux Signaling and using those scanners (712 scan each) will allow you to just barely reach 501 planets. They are a lot of research and even more credits, however

update rank 220

not much happen on my ship at this rank, beside start to npc'ing, doing some missions, and turn to konqul fixer.

try to finish voliir and unlock medals to be able to use Autoblaster

Nice hull for your rank!

I would suggest more Artifacts per/hour, if your struggling to find good planets on scan runs try asking your legion for alerts

thanks Crazor, im working on it, not best season fer scanning but i keep trying i rarely find good artifacts for my planets boost, maybe thats why my artis point is low..also seems i needs to finish +12 planet structures asap. reach the star lifter days ago




im doing your suggestion on full blocks of research TB, takes time but im in no rush
