Which of the bonuses is the best to choose from when you install a composite ray?

If you get 3648 dark badges you can get 4 of each!

I went with the Defence ones first.. gonna get the scanner ones next.

defense you can get from android helmsmen
scan you will be able to scan more planets (specially if you buff with +%)
Cloak will never really hide your ship unless your zolazin spy.

I took the scan one and never bothered getting the other modules. Seems to be just a waste of badges Maybe when im done putting 2 quantum accelarators on all my good planets then yah why not.

Got 1 so far and went for scan beacuse it's so hard to get extra scan but I think defence is a good option for most people.

Remric's right about saving badges for some of the other rewards. I'm looking forward to pushing the passive cloak up on my best planets.

I went for the defense ones because 160 scan is like 0 scan on top of 10k. 160 scan is like one purger worth of planets.

@Furious

i think you have to choose between the three options... you can only have four total i think, not 4 of each kind.

You can have a set of each but only install 4 at a time. Swapping...

This is actually the way i see it. Say an enemy planet is cloaked at 12000 if your total scan buffed is 11500 the planet will not be scanned you will lose your chance of seeing that wonderful planet.

Most people are cloaking their best planets. And this is what i'm hoping i could find. it is not as much as seeing an extra 10 planets but going over the cloak of enemy planets.

Now i do appreciate the defense that these babies give. but my thiinking is that with the android helmsmen that im getting from artifact draw i would be able to get that + to defense

Cloak... I love cloak, the original purpose of cloak is to hide from enemies that dont have enough scan, but at high decks and ranks i see that most players have a complete set of scanners and its really impossible to hide from anyone who has enough decks to equip everything. even if i choose 4x of the cloak type rays. I would still be short of the maximum scan of fully equipped ship in the game. So unless i turn into a zolazin spy there is no use for getting the cloak.


Now i know a lot of people who will be getting 3 sets of the ray. and although this is a great idea i still consider using the badges for something you will just collect on your cargo a waste. I would rather use these dark badges and build the necessary artfact building on my top 50 or 100 planets. (and that would take a lot of dark badges) (just for the quantum accelarators alone)

but thats the way ii see it and everyone has their own way of playing the game.
