I love the misconstrued notion that low damage cap = good ship.
Only thing I'd say at this point is learn to crop the images

My ship isnt bad due to the fact that I put too much into decks (although that is part of it.)


My ship is bad because I focused on the wrong things, at the wrong times, and picked the wrong races and professions and blah blah blah.


But yes, cropping the images. Great piece of advice, ill hold it near and dear to my heart.

so not to criticise here....but you didnt really go too far into depth on your path...your stats and items and what your goals are...

there are lots of threads on how to build and which chains are most productive...it would be dismissive to just say get more arti...if everyone could just magically do that then what would be the point.. i would advise building your energy up....try to keep to items that provide multiple bonuses or % bonuses.

Check the wiki for pathways to extra npc slots and useful planet artis. Don't defend art planets under 3x or so...a good legion will replace those for you quickly.
Personal preference, but would suggest either a more aggresive race for pvp, or one with different production capability like talth or if you have unlocked it--litheor. Fixer and excavator make great choices for profession.

Over time researched weapons and cloak are very costly and for many people provide minimal help. Would advise you watch upkeep costs. If you are not bringing in 2-3x what your upkeep is, you will fall into a nasty circle of upkeep issues vs. invasions. Ask, people can provide free max toxics, and dropping high cosst modules works too. Theta cannons are ok for space versus cost..but would avoid quasis.

The more scans you can do, the better. Also no clue what your planet spacing is like, but dont wait forever to get the 'right' planet...having some farms and building as desired get you income now AND over time.

Just some sketch thoughts.

As this was not outlined in my first post, im going to post some findings, goals, objectives and the like.


Currently, I am level 573, working towards beefing up the ship, and making it more viable for PVP and NPC'ing alike.

Stats are as the following.

Rep: Menacing

Decks: 2068
Tactical Officers: 4000
Engineers: 4096
Helmsman: 1239
Scientists: 3634

Attack:9182 (Unbuffed)
Defense: 7299 (with permenant buffs active.)
Scan: 2294
Cloak: 2078

Cargo: 38k (No worries there :P)

Mining Production: 13078
Arti Production:13106
Research Production: 15654

Allies:
Anubix (Rank 1, just got him)
Sehrin, Rank 100
Thraacti: Rank 100
Cuninculus: Rank 93
Bane: Rank 44

Problems:

I know my defense is low, and I need to increase my production all around. Im currently waiting to be loyal to my legion again to start ranking anubix, ill be pairing him with Bunny (Cuninculus) to rank him quicker.

Future Plans: I plan on finishing off the Uldrainian chain, and plan on being a governor for quite awhile. After that, ill be chipping away at the rest of the useful chains.


Any comments that are useful would be appreciated. (Sorry about the lack of images, my laptop isnt working to well right now.)


EDIT:
Hull: 16139 Unbuffed
Shields:6955 Unbuffed
Energy:6465 With Relays in.

I would switch races...either talth excavator for more arti or aerlen/konqul fixer if you really want to pvp better. also you really need more ap/h

So, im doing a update here, with some new cropping skills. ;)

Image

(I know this image looks like crap. :( )

Image

Image


As of now, as you can tell, I am a uldrainian governor, which is actually working out great. Im working on upgrading my henxicant, and grabbing as many of the items as I can from the trade market. (Some of them are really helpful for project planets)


I think ive gotten around 10 or so of the archotage effects on my planets. 1% mind you, but still, better than nothing.

As of right now, I have several goals that I have updated.

Allies

Get as many allies as possible, to decrease ship space increase while still gaining stats

Im gunning for grabbing Bainar atm, ill most likely try to get trovar zane as well.
(Any suggestions for more allies would be appreciated, ones that I could get at my stage in the game would be beneficial)


As of right now I have;

Anubix Level 43
Bane 2 Level 58
Cuniculus Level 100
Ravyn Level 7
Sehrin Level 100
Thraacti 2 Level 100

PVP


Im also working on PVP'ing on a consistent basis.

At this point, I have all my dominion cannon's upgraded to auto blasters, but not tri blaster's. Thats the next step in that direction.

My CK sentry is currently at 125% upgraded. That's obviously going to be a long haul....

Blues, the only reason im getting them (for now) is to get Bainar.


Missions


Since Ive finished the Uldrainian chain, its basically been Hallows Bane and Harvest right after each other, so I haven't been focusing on mission chains as much.


Although I have finished the T.O chain recently, just to get prepped for harvest.

So, the chains I am working on currently are:

T.O Chain (Upgrading Ravyn Basically)

The Silithion Chain (I found the larva, going for the gemini cannons)

The Dark Smugglers Chain (Im at the disguise point)


Any more suggestions would be appreciated :)



Production


This is a big one.


I know for a fact my arti production needs to go way up. Im working on it, but its slow going. Research is fine, mining is fine.


Just not getting lucky on the planet scans. But hopefully that changes soon. :)



Races


I plan on being Uldrainian for a LONG time, till I at least finish getting the Henxicant upgraded and alot of supplies from the market.


After that......Ill most likely switch to Litheor and complete that chain.





So thats it for now! If ive missed anything let me know, id like some good feedback if possible :)

Nothing outrageous, just the standard buffs.

Ancient crystal, Crimson Obliisk, Crimson Amp, Grid Console, Nanite, and Shield Charger.


I had alot of gear uninstalled so I could get cloak up to par for the Harvest event.

So, update time!
(The only temp buff on is a crimson amp. Everything else is base.)

So, there have been a few updates here, some that im excited about :)

ALLIES

Right now, I succeeded in grabbing Bainar, so he's progressing along great.

Im also gunning for Zane. Other than that, there isn't really a ally thats close to be able to be reached right now. If anyone has any suggestions in that department, please, its appreciated!

Anubix Level 73
Bane 2 Level 70
Cuniculus Level 100
Ravyn Level 26
Sehrin Level 100
Thraacti 2 Level 100
Bainar Level 21

PVP

PVP'ing is coming along great!

I havent upgraded to tri blaster's yet, but im getting closer.

The CK sentry is now at 150%. Slow, but its happening.

Blues are for Bainar (Obviously)

The biggest change though....is that instead of menacing...im now Savage! Onto Insane!



Missions

This has changed a bit.

Im trugging along on ranking Ravyn.


The things Im working on now are:

T.O (Ravyn)

Silithion- Got one of my T-Plasma Cannons. Working on the other two now.

Dark Smugglers Chain (Basically no progress in this)

Litheor- This is a new one. Im currently halfway through the chain. It'll be my next race after Uldrainian.


As usual, more suggestions are helpful. :)




Production


This is improving, slowly but steadily.


Arti is still the big kicker, but its sure as hell coming along.


Races


The henxicant is done. FINALLY.


Now im staying uldrainian for the planet arties for quite awhile. Ill be switching to Litheor afterwards. But, ill be staying Uldrainian for now. :)



Thats the update for now!
