it doesn't seem like it wouldn't be that hard at my rank it would have around 10k defense and 20k hull lots of players my rank have those stats I still disable them, I have disabled bigger, I have 9k attack unbuffed, I can get up to 16k npc attack with a few buffs so easy to take down with a few hundred energy still a energy sucker though. but never seen one even though I have 6 metalics.

well I'm open to ideas on how I can fix my terrible ship. (Because apparently not having 7k attack at rank 300 is playing the game wrong)




Good Luck.

you're rank 300 and you have 2K attack/defense and only nexus armor?

Yeah, you're playing the game wrong.

My legion says its fine. I'm curious on where I should move from here.

Wouldn't mind some helpful info either. (Which isn't 'reset your account its a complete waste of time')

I neglected hull upgrades. You know why? Because I rushed obsivation fields (the 1200 defense planetary structure) because losing a planet every few days isn't fun. I just recently lost a big ticket gaia and my artifact points went flying down because of it. (I'm not online all the time, most of the time I lose these types of planets when I go to sleep) Then i went into null rays, sensors, and now I really want cloak because like I said, I'm tired of losing my good planets. (which would be avoided if they were harder to find in the first place) The only planets I haven't lost are my gas giants, hence why my research is somewhere around 5k/hr

I severely lack mining and artifact planets.

Put it this way Shade... At 300 I had 8 HEAVY nulls installed plus about 4 times as many secondary weapons as what you've got.

yea Allovore Entities are awesome, dont need to tweak. There drop gives you +25% hull for two days, worth every energy. All i can say is start puting some rank points into Tactical officers or somthing.

Thanking iDaze for PMing me and helping me get started on fixing my ship. Provided detailed plans , what mods to get, what NPCs to look out for , and mission chains to complete to fix this 'wreck'

better then you guys who are laughing and not bothering to help at all.

why is this forum so spiteful? I heard it used to be helpful.

Could you really blame us?
You waltzed in here with a forceful attitude, and you were somwhat arrogant..

I was simply angry cause I keep encountering these things.

that and how I'm one of the most unluckiest guys here.

the guy who PM'ed me told me to work on getting some Korteth plating, yet I have never seen one in all my 300 ranks. I've maybe seen one legion member post it, but it was already disabled.

I recently went on a scan rush with 3000 scan, scanned up 40ish planets. None of them were colonize worthy. (35 of them were tiny/very small/small with extremely sparse/sparse resources, the other 5 wern't even worth the effort required to make them worthy (it would need lots of terraformers) )

dude, your first comment closed with "This needs to be removed or retweaked. 50% is WAY TOO MUCH." usually folks who start that way don't bother to listen to reason, even what passes for such on a forum like this.



huh, my next scan run will be between 2700 and 3000 scan (depending on my energy-scan module layout chosen) and i will expect to get over 100 planets out of that, with probably only 5% useful. are you purging ALL of your unwanted planets before going on a scan run ?

I'd recommend joining The Invisible Storm. Myself, Thunderbolta, and a couple other high-rankers could help give detailed guides on everything (like I'm doing currently with the rest of the galaxy), and help you get well on your way to becoming that rank 1000 legend that everyone wants to be.

Well, we could start with the fact you have less than a third of the average artifact production.

Next, we can move on to the fact your technology is horrifically behind. My upkeep is 1.4B, to give you an idea.

Thirdly, you are missing alot of the most basic of NPC gear. You don't even have Vortul Blasters? I have Korteth... and have done for some time.

You're ship strength (attack+defence) should be around 10k, unbuffed, assuming no racial bonuses. Plus, you should have a strong hull. You're a fixer, so your hull should be around 12k.

what surprises me is that he have a full set of dark defs... i got a full set of crimson way before darks, granted it was not the top tier crimson but still...

but yeah... weapon tech, hull tech, NPC weapons is the thing he need most, full set of crimson, drannik and some doms go a long way

The rng in this game hates me okay

I get a million dark rings a month

but I never ever get Crimson carriers Korteth/Vortul

I even look at my legion every day and they've never gotten them either

Its probably why I'm so weak partly due to RNG being completely unfair towards me. Problem being I can't really complain about it because its all luck.

And Luck hasn't been falling on my side of the pond at all recently.

Dear OP,
Your attack is horrible, same as your defence. You say that is with scan and cloak installed? I am using up 284 decks for scan and still have 4.3k attack, and 2.7k defence. I would have a decent few more k's of defence if I didn't have all that scan installed. So fix your ship. You have your mission planets set to research? Switch them to arti NOW! Best thing you can do to get yourself out of the pit you've obviously dug for yourself. My guess is ranking too fast, not streamlining your ship and not managing your ship very well at all, including your planets.

You say ranking too fast, but he hasn't got all that much energy.

The issue is in his sensor tech. Sub-D is frankly horrific for rank 300+. You know to only take good planets, right?

Abandon any crap you may have, get Hyperflux sensors and run a massive scan run. Leave your mission planets on RP whilst you do that, then switch to AP as you should be able to pick up some easy planets.

Regarding what planets to take:
For research: VM/Rich gases. Other planet types above VL/ER or M/VR.
For mining: VL/ER Volcanics, VL/R Toxics, VL+/ER+ Metallics
For artifacts: Anything VL/VR+
