I love this game i played a game a little like this for about 7 years i can imagine playing this game for as long becuase if you want it to it can take a couple minutes a day
i played this game for a month or two logging in once a day spending my energy on missions and thats it
My birthday was in july i recieved about a 100dollars in fb credits i purchased an additional 200dollars in fb credits for myself as a self present so that got me from level 80 to level 332 bought some fluxes and some fathers
at level 80 i was getting a couple hundred art and research a day
at level 332 i get a couple thousand research and art a day
no complaints there was worth spending money to level

due to not wanting to spend more than 1 dollar per refill i went 80%engineers and 20% decks approximately
and now i am surrounded by ships with a thousand decks and because or my tech level do about 50damage per hit to npcs with a 5 hit till i have to repair my ship making me one of the worst players of my rank i cant badge anyone cant hack anyone cant kill a rare or boss without sitting there repairing every five minutes for a minimum of 2 hours some rares even if i repaired every 5mins for 24hours i still couln't kill
what i need is decks right all the top players scream decks
but a dollar and 20cents per deck that is a little expensive if i spent a hundred dollars which to me is kinda alot of money i would only get 100 decks means it would take me a thosand dollars to catch up to the decks of the other players my rank
if this was a quarter of the price i would drop 250 right now
because it kinda sucks to have got there with money and now shut out of being able to compete
and if you are saying oh you should have spent more levles in decks trust me that woulnd't have helped me cuase most of their decks and alot of their rank points came from ship bots rescued prisoners and daily rewards they are usually hundreds of levels higher in rank points then just there rank points from leveling

also i am far far behind on my research and if i could buy 5hours worth research for 10gp would have done it but at 1k would take me rediculous amounts of money to get anywhere 10s of thousands

i would love to be able to buy my way into the higher ranks of this game but it would be really hard to have my money be worth as much as their accumulated artifact pulls over time

also as i am about to sell my trailer i though of spending 1k on this game in energy refills only maybe i am wrong but i think that there isn't alot of npcs for higher levels everything i have wikied as far as booses tops out at level 700 and as i have almost none of the modules from them i cant because i will miss out on very important mods
so i messed up really bad i spennt all the money on evergy refills and enginneers now i cant get any bages and its really hard for me to get alot of npc modules and becuase i did almost all missions missed out on alot of npc modules that i can now never have a chance of getting again (at the time i didn't know npcs could drop such good stuff and i had never looked at the wiki before)

summary of suggestion
Can you make the decks equal in price to an energy refill around 25-40cents a deck

just an update i spent 150dollars on the game in the month of september at an avg of 1 refill per level
i bought all decks so it was cheaper than 2rank points per 10 but if i would have had the option i would have bought the rank points so i could have a stronger ship for my level to help with badging i acutally ended up with more energy buying decks than buying energy when i adjust my ship for leveling on the other hand now there are some people with the same amount of decks on my bt and some with like 4k decks while i have about 1100decks at some point though me investing my levels in decks will make me put 2 refills per level at which point i would rather buy rank points because the higher in level you are the stronger the other players are I just think these guys have all been playing over a year and buying rank points would allow you to try to catch up

First without good tech adding lots of decks just makes you take more damage.

Second It shouldn't be cheap to buy a top ship , paying should give you an edge not make you a god.

Third their are better ways to make your ship strong using GP XCharge Cells , Durtanium Brackets , Android Helmsman ( best one)

Forth I hope you got the 2 Invincible planets with all that money.

i just talked to about 10guys in trade post that spend 100dollars plus on this game and they said they have never bought decks because they are too expensvie some said they would by decks for around a quarter each like i would one ranked 904 said he only buys energy refills (he gets 20k art points an hour and has 60 unused ship bots) with his money and nothing else
one suggested the ability to reallocate rank points which i think is a terrible idea because of mass storage pods
two things
have you ever bought those items with gp?
second thing i am not asking to become a god in this game i just would like to catch up to other players in the game by spending money

Actually, because of the way your rank is, the game could decide just about how many rank points you would have to spend/. Probably not counting the free ones from the daily reward

the best way for you to catch up quickly is to capture capture capture as many good planets as you can and boost your research, and artifact, and slow your leveling down for just a little while so you can catch up

I'd suggest for right now to invest research into scanners and planet structures, no matter what level they are right now; the added research will be worth your while, and boosted artifact while help your deck space catch up

another suggestion to castch up to older players is maybe be able to buy rank points for gp
the thing about posting this stuff for me is mainly that due to artifact pulls over time most people are hundreds of levels above their level in rank points why would this rank 904 player buy anything but refills when he gets 20k art an hour
his money has already made him a god in this game and the way he spent it got him into the leaderboard for rank
i am not comlaining about that i just would like to do the same thing buy my way into the top of the game

why would you bother to spend money on a rreallocation and waste months of artifact pulls that wouln't work either

Why?
Maybe you want more energy or more decks or maybe you want to have more cargo.
There's always a market for things like rank point allocation.

i like allocation i just dont think you should lose anything you have gained if that be the case then it would work out better in your benefit to be albe to buy rank points and say spend 20-50bucks on what you need
case in point is it would take me a grand to catch up just to the decks right now not the cargo or def or or anything else and 1thousand dollars isn't really affordable 200 is 250maybe so a quarter a deck sounds really good to me but at 1.20 a deck everyone i know who are players who spend 100dollars a month or over does not buy decks because they are too expensive
i get a level per refill and i could take the thousand dollars buy nothing but refills and get in the leaderboard for rank instead
i would rather if the price of decks dropped buy decks till i am equal with people of my level before i leveled so i can have fun playing the game and badge and npc hunt if i took a thousand dollars and bought nothing but refills in about 10 days i would be past level 700 and not be able to do almost all the elites and bosses that i have heard of as it is i have to cool it with spending money on refills because and wait maybe 3 to 6 months waiting for decks from artifact pulls to try to compete with other players at my level personally if i had been that paitient in the beginning i woulnd't have spent 300bucks last month right now i am only 1000 decks behind if i spent another 200 bucks and bought only decks i would still be 1000 decks behind if not more i know guys with 5k decks

right now if i spent 250bucks i would get 200 decks i could just spend 40bucks in refills and buy decks with the rank points problem with that is if i spend another $400 in refills then i can no longer do bosses or elites

so say if i came up with a formual on how many engineers i have to have per level to level with 1 refill and spent the rest on decks it would still be cheaper than buying decks outright problem with that is all the bosses and elites have a max level so i would have to spend my energy refills very slowly doing npcs compared to doing missions and after 400dollars would not be able to do alot of npcs as far as it goes if i spend a grand right now on the game in energy refills there would only be 50 people approximately that i could attempt to badge (on a side not they would stomp me to pieces) but at least i would be in the leaderboard right right now spending 20-30% of rank points on decks i still level with a nueral with just one refill doing missions doing npcs i have like 2k energy to spare (your legion would love me)

i like missions it took me all day for 16 hours repairing every 5 minutes to spend 1 refill it really did doing missions i spent 200dollars in two days my quiestion is if i spend another grand is there even going to be missions or npcs for me to do

right now if i was to npc only while i still can i would only spend max maybe 50dollars for the first month in refills after about a month my tech my catch up and i might be able to spend more

Being able to buy rank points would be a horrible idea. CC players would have a tremendous advantage. Your mistake was in leveling WAY too fast. You need time between levels to let your permanent bonus artis to stack up.

thats my point i spent 300 and burned myself i cant badge if i spend another 300 i will have burned myself wont be able to hunt good npcs another 300 and i wont be able to mission
If i spend money i should be wining not losing

Your just spending your GP on the wrong things its as simple as that.

As a proud slow ranking player I too have to agree with others that you clearly out ranked your ship's ability to be competitive. However, to address your original voting post, yes I would absolutely buy decks if they were cheaper (which is true of most things in the game!) I will give Dan lots of Kudos on making his GP energy refills some of the least expensive I have seen any where. I never spent money on Mafia Wars, Viking Wars, Vampire Wars.... I dropped a few bucks on Castle Age because it too is such a kick azz game. But, Galaxy Legions is by far the best dollar per refill/rank/level of any game on Facebook.

Lastly, if 1k is no trouble to you, my birthday is coming soon

what i should have done was npced everyday and badged everyday i would have only spent about 50bucks a month in refills and i would have all my modules i should have bought 20%engineers and 80%decks so i could have all modules on my ship as it is now just my mission modules alone take up all my decks and until today i didn't even have the cargo space to offline them all

Yeah, sorry bud... tuff lesson to learn. But, as someone mentioned, you can reallocate too.
