I went SSB(Small Ship Build)but then i realized its a waste of time.
Im wondering if its worth resetting and starting again?
Artifacts 332 points / hour
Production: 330 research / hour
I know they are rubbish but i will be researching +5s and shields soon that wil help slightly.
Im currently in SA2 getting research to do so

actualy that's pretty decent you just need some more defense if your moving out of the SSB, and you may need some mining soon you can't have people giving you money for upkeep forever but right now it's easy.

That is ok i have a couple thousand ctp on me

At rank 23 defense isn't a big deal, focus on hull and attack. Maybe grab the Trinity-Core Drives if you have some GP.

Agreed. Over of the big benefits of the ssb is you dont need def. And ssb isn't a waste of time. Just a pain that's worth it long run. Wil say should buy fathers before trinities.

I have 1 dominion cannon and one other in cargo need space for it im close to my first protean armory, they will help .
I rarely can get gp maybe a few months or on my birthday i can get a bit of gp for those and fathers

2 dominion cannons + 1 protean armory = 24 space
fill with researched hull or some energy.

Stick to decks = rank + 19 and in the medium term you will outclass guys that are in bigger legions.

Dont worry about research too much and try to get yourself into a lvl 5/6 artifact base if you can. Just pvp and raid like mad to get your last 2 proteans.

What's your reasoning for it being a waste of time?

Well because the limited scan and energy capabilities you can do with it.
I like npcs more then pvp due to the drops at high ranks like to troop carriers. You benefit more from that then pvp, after you get the pvp mods

If you plan properly, at around rank 100 you can move away from an SSB into a real fighting machine.

Without turning this thread into one huge slow vs fast ranking debate, you don't necessarily benefit more from NPCing.

Eh?

It's all about relative strength.

Bigger guns.

for the energy spent you get more from npcing.
Npcing then freezing would be better than missions or pvp(assuming have battle market stuff already) up to the same point.

Oh and as to the original post if you are moving away from a ssb your gonna need more def.

Pichu.. at your rank range guns get priority, then hull, then def. Resetting at rank 23?? no reason. Small ship build is completely worthless at rank, but serves well til 150 or so (worth saying keeping a deck/cap ratio in mind even longer is helpful also). Best to develop a kill ship regardless if you like pvp or npc (as you know you will do loads of both). But as mentioned above now is the time to kill like a beast. Reds are never easier than 150 and below, and the dominions are strong for your rank (size/dmg/upkeep). Expect a very detailed guide doc to be available within days to all SA legions for developing extremely effective low rank kill ships.

Ok thanks for the advice and heres an update on my ship(My defense is still same )
ize Class: Light Frigate
Space: 66 / 66

It might be a good idea for me when/if i get gp to get the 2 trinity cores they are cheap and low space
And my mods
1 Protean armory and 2 Nanosphere platings Hull
2 dominion cannos weapons
Im researching the +6s 1/3 and then hull to nexus then +750 shields(got 450 shields right now)
