Also another interesting thing i thought i might share : I had just recently invaded a rank 355s VL 1x Gaia and i was suprised i invaded it successfully! :) I was precautious so i placed 8 planetary shields on it to protect it. I'm only rank 165 so i haven't unlocked the gaia mission and then i promptly went to sleep and then i woke up to find :

I just wanted to say that enemy was fought for it pretty well and thought it was interesting story to share. :) Although sadly my gaia s gone :( ( That guy phoenix was pretty generous to use 8 crimson cluster missiles on it, from i can tell, they're extremely useful artifacts )

Your SimonTang lol you used cluster missiles on him first

Hi everyone, i'm making another update and i also have some small questions :

Image

Image

Image

I have upgraded to level 10s (hooray~! :mrgreen: )

I'm research the stuff in this order :

Null Ray
Fermionic Hull
Trans-Temporal Travel
Intra-D Colliding
Hyperflux Signaling

I have no plans after that, but that doesn't matter. Researching that stuff will take a while i think.

Anways, i was thinking :

If i could switch races, what should i be?
i kinda go for a balanced gameplay (NPCing, Missions and pvp)

I was thinking Konqul, should i do the mission chains and become Lazuli or Drannik?

And when should i start investing into Crew members? and which crew member? Engineers or Tactical officers?

Konqul is probably the best all-rounded race. Lazuli helps in PvP, and bases are their forte. But, NPC's less so, until you get to uber-high ranks where bonus attack has less of an effect.
Drannik is the best for NPC, but that's it. And again, makes less of a diference at higher ranks.

You can research all those mods, but you won't be able to afford them. You need to get to at least 250 mining before you start loadin up on Nulls and Fermionics.

Oh and guys, don't worry about my mining, i have 95B Cr, all made via GTC selling pyramids, ctp and flares, i'm selling another batch of 1000 ctp today so that'll be another 50B to my bank account.

I have question though, i have recently been killed by players rank 350, 150 ranks above me, while rank doesn't define strength, they have 750 rank points more than i do, and i'm finding it difficult to defend myself against them.

Apart from Halcyon traps, anyways to protect myself? i have contemplated adding lots of cloak but some rank 370 that killed me had 5x continuum analyzers ._. so i guess cloak is out of the box too.

You say they have 750 rank points ahead of you but your forgetting you have over 6K arti which I don't have at rank 246 (4k), that'll help you get more prisoners, slow down your ranking try to get at least 3-5 prisoners per rank and you'll be stronger than them soon enough. We all get hit by higher ups, try to limit that from happening by fighting back, they disable you you disable them back. Most will stop hitting you or stop hitting you as frequently.

You have really good productions. Do you have your mission planets? I still haven't gotten any yet, which kinda blows.

Anyways...

As an Aerlen Fixer, I could have outfought you, but now with no racial boosts to combat, I feel you have the edge.

Also, what legion are you at currently? I feel you would make a great AU.

As odd as this will sound to many players who read this you hull is lacking. I have only tiny bit less as an explorer, and would have a solid advantage as a fixer.

Now, I advise you to go for Thetas. Given how far ahead your other productions are, you should be able to bring your mining up high enough for it. Or about 4k, which is enough to sustain you without trading if you're careful, and with trading will still leave you with plenty of cash. Your defence is good. Your energy pool is quite small, but you mentioned slow ranking.

definitly have to disagree on the thetas. no where near the mining for them. 1 heavy theta would double his current upkeep. i would on the other hand go for heavy nulls as they are very good guns for their cost.

id bump getting the 1200 planet defense structures near the top. maybe after nulls.

They are very expensive, yes. Having done all of the maths, had other people's maths done etc. I can say it is actually very easy to do. 4k mining is enough, considering his productions are far ahead, he should be able to get his mining up without his others falling behind.

It's been a while, i've now hit rank 300 - the pictures i've posted are buffed, alot and to be blunt, waiting 10 hours for Crux to wear off isn't really.. anyways ;

Image

Image

Buffs include Hull swarn, Foci, Obelisk, Crux, Amp, shield amp and grid console. 17.7K NPC attack using buffs.

Note : i'm deliberating to add more decks (via shipbots) since i need room for reactor and various NPC hull modules and composite ray as well as upgrade for Sync Plating.

How sad, both him leaving the game and your unfairly good scan runs. But mostly him leaving the game.
