Recommended Proffesions

Fixer

DRANNIK FTWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

Done. Anything you fill needs to be added post and I will edit as needed.

Doesn't the Zolazin mission line start with "The Glaviz Incident"??

Yes and thanks.

So, Kronyn, Mylarai, Taltherian all permanently increase planet production?

yes

"Zolazin-(+40% Cloak) Most will go sab for the free c-missiles "


how do you get the free c missiles other than the few you get form the mission?

The Sab profession is almost identical to getting a free crimson cluster missile.

I can see how the working can be confusing , I changed it to a more suitable working.

Great post, although I know a few people who would rank Mylarai a little better. Maybe this could get a sticky?



Nearly. Current total is 178,345,800.

Good write-up, but Inergon is only +10% to max energy, which means they'll get more xp from tri-matrices and energy cubes than Humans, but Humans will get more xp from energy gained over time through relays, so while Inergon gets more done for the same rank, it's not unequivocally the better of the two power ranking races, since one goal of power ranking could be to level faster.

shame....was about to change race then to collect a few C missiles
good post and should be a sticky +1

Thanks.



Good point , I was thinking of auto ranking when comparing the 2 , but if you can't auto rank then human would be faster.

Inergon/Human is also a trap, what you want to do is use energy more efficiently. Drannik lets you do that while doing the most efficient activity in the game for ship growth.

Yes Drannik is better for fast/auto ranking in on NPC's , but you do have to unlock it and if there's a good biweekly mission it will slow you down.

Inergon/Human isn't that much of a trap , fast/auto ranking makes you weak for your rank and that's noted above.

With enough arty production the 20% Konqil atk is more then the bonus you need to auto rank and still have nrg left over after NPCing.

Excellent Post!!

Only thing I would suggest is...

Sillixx's Con - Pay-off Deck loan when switching to another race from Sillixx
