| Post subject: | A Simple Question Really... |
Here are my current statistics with room for one more module: Attack: 373 Defense: 186 Hull: 1,651 Shield: 66 Just looking for a few varying opinions, preferably with supporting arguments, for what I should use once I resume working towards acquiring the Genetarr Transmitter - Mark IIs? |

a second damener is your best choice, you cant be all attack you need some defense modules, shields arent really needed i have neer installed an actual shield module |

you can never have too many cannons. helps with both pvp and npc, whereas dampeners rnt really necessary. dont install shields until at least rank 150, hull is better |

At rank 108, I have 1 cannon, 1 dampener, and 1 shield on at all times, and 4-5 cannons and 1 dampener and 1 shield on for my attack config. |

At your rank, if you have enough space to equip 5 cannons you may want to research your weapons tree. |

the shield is the last thing out of those you want to put on tbh...get 5 of your best hulls on then research the next tier. it really depends on your play style, the extra gun will help in pvp if people can see it, they may be put off of hitting you cos of a high number of guns. the defence module means you take less damage per hit, useful in pvp and pve...just not as impressive to those that can see you. the extra cannon will be better on a bang for buck basis...just make sure you have 5 hulls on |

I have heavy shearers at rank 43. I run 2 and it gives me ample power. |

That may very well be true, but I'm willing to bet you have neglected other areas of your ship and that your standard configuration is thus far less balanced than this: Quote: Size Class: Light Battleship Weapons: Heavy Phase Cannon x2, Phase Cannon x1, Dominion Cannon x3, Prototype Mech XV Energy: Antimatter Reactor - Mark IV x3, F.A.T.H.E.R. x2, Omicron Injector Sensors: Stryll Transponder x2, Decryption Quad-Frame, AI Supercomputer Hull: Merged Microgel Armor x5 Shields: Harmonic Resonator Cloaking: Zolazin Jammer x2 Defenses: Inertial Dampener - Mark III, Thrust Stabilizer |

To avoid confusion do not include dominion cannons in your cannon count. Put them separately. |

I assume they count towards the limit of eight cannons and thus should be included in the discussion, particularly since they have such a high attack:deck ratio for those of us in the lower ranks. |

They do not. They have a separate count. You can have 8 cannons + 4 dominions. |

I'd get defences up - I'm pulling 210 defence from 36 space, plus a load of android helmsmen and dual-stat devices. I'd say there's no point having tonnes of hull if you take massive hits every attack. People are far more likely to give up if they're doing 30-50 damage against someone with a weak hull than if they're dealing 100-200 damage against someone with a strong hull. |

Guns are the most helpful for killing NPC's and invading, although at your level it's still cost-effective to swap them in and out as needed. Load up big energy reactors and then just move atk/def items around as needed. Hull is more valuable than shields since repairing is so cheap at your stage of things. |

I wish we had The Dark Ring alerted sometime in our Legion, but we haven't yet. Anyway, I'm leaning towards a second thruster, but thought I'd see what others suggested.

I've got three Antimatter Reactor - Mark IV modules and five Merged Nanosphere Plating modules installed already. I'm working on Singularity Control at the moment and once The Kronyn Exodus ends I'll get back to working on completing Thoughts Revealed as well. |
