I was originally going to update at rank 250, but it looks like it'll take another 2 months to get there, so... xD

new stats

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After 323 days of playing, my tiny little ship is finally rank 200 T_T <= tears of joy

Special thanks to Earths Militant Minds' Tanken for introducing me to the SSB, and to CRA's Flesh for being such an awesome mentor and taking care of me from the time I was a noobie rank ... I don't actually know, but pretty close to 1
also Ellision for introducing me to the game, Soulplay/Annabell for taking me into CRA, Quaichangcaine for the amazing planets, Jimjimtata/RuinedSprinkles/LegendofLink/Firestrmdragon for being... well... amazing, and lots of others on my BT who have made this game an addiction for me

Current ship setup (comments/suggestions welcome):



Stats unbuffed except by racial bonuses

Max energy is 1765 (when I rank). I'll be adding engineers once my TOs hit 3000

Production values (no mission planets yet):

Do you need some CR?.... I know that upkeep is negligible, but if you want to put something on a planet you colonize, then....

323 days? Quite the ship you have there...good job so far! Err....get better hull tech.

@Joseph4 Ahaha I'd just repaired 3 mark IV intra-D colliders, and so my credits vanished. I usually make around 1.6-1.7 billion a day, though

@PhantasyStar It's quite an honor hearing that from you! I'm about 3 days from having the last tier of fermionics done, so I'll be upgrading to those as I get the deck space. Still not sure if I want to stay SSB or start transitioning to MSB

My comment/suggestion is for you to keep on being awesome. As a special present for hitting 200 I have decided that today I will not Poke you with a stick. Enjoy this short lived respite.

:O

I'll post one of these too. I'm rank 199

Dude, we practically started the same day!

I am so grateful. Sensei is so kind <333


twinnie!!! I'll look forward to your post~

Indeed, your productions are very good. I would assume that you still have +12s, since CRA is a good enough legion not to have allowed you to do otherwise. If not, you should certainly get them!

Of course, there is very little I can tell you. The SSB layout isn't drastically complicated, but I'm a little surprised you're behind on hull. Since relays and hulls are basically all the upkeep you need to pay (though eventually you'll be able to start installing weapons), and you already have Wormhole Relays, my suggestion to you is to perhaps continue straight through from Ferms to Syncos. I needn't go into why - you know why - and your ship is already very respectable. Your attack is a little disappointing - especially for Konqul, but I guess that that is trademark of the SSB design.

FSD, Pikavader - thanks for your comments!

The main reason why I haven't upgraded the deep core neutroniums is that the repair costs for fermionics - and even moreso for syncos - are ridiculous. At this point, I'm repairing 3/5 of the neutroniums every other day, which costs close to 600 million credits, since I swap out 3 hulls for 4 dom III's and 3 ion pulse ballistae pretty frequently to hit players/NPCs/bases. The swapping gives me an extra 1k attack, but again - high repair costs. My "upkeep" may as well be 500 million per day

I do have +12's on pretty much all of my planets, so you're right on the dot there

Go sell 1k CTP in either the GTC or on one of the Trade Forums. You'll never need mining again xD

I hadn't considered the swapping around involved with the SSB layout, since you mostly just see them on the BT with their hulls online. Given that, obviously don't get Syncos, but you should certainly be able to afford Ferms.

congrats on 200 chia !

and yeah, i know what you mean about 'upkeep' being more than just the daily upkeep cost. during one of my recent pre-rank up scan runs, i had uninstalled all of my hulls and defenses to put the scan mods on. however, when the scanning was done, i could not reinstall all of the hulls as i didn't have 3 billion in the kitty, thanks to making an earlier multi-billion bid on the GTC to attempt to replenish my stock of TMs. of course, someone sniped the TM bid, so i was able to put my chainmail back on ....

Re: CTP/mining

The issue with CTP is that I don't hit enough elites to gather a lot of modules to scrap. Any CTP I do get usually goes into planet-buying since I can't actually scan that many :/

I'm thinking I'll hold off on the fermionics for now, since I'm trying to maintain the (rank+19)/2 damage cap. Plus... 3 billion in repair costs every other day sounds not so fun. I may update in 50-75 ranks or so~

senatorhung, you're using fermionics, right? What sort of mining do you have to support that? (if you don't mind me asking)

productions (all planets have +12s) are currently:

mining: 3410
artifact: 6951
research: 5130

upkeep is 398.8M - 5 fermis (242.5M), 4 x-manifolds (58M), 4 wormholes (40M)

no problems maintaining upkeep as long as i do not go too TMcrazy on the GTC or run into devastated landscapes on the conquered planets.

and good job maintaining true SSB ... i will get there at rank 385

Lol I wasn't a "true" SSB until 2 days ago. I've had 220 decks since around rank 100

Thanks for responding so quickly! Looks like I'll need another mining planet or two before upgrading hull

Congrats Chiaroscuro, very nice stats all round. Your crew numbers are very impressive, I thought mine were good until I saw yours!! I started a little behind you, 296 days, but you regularly pop up on my BT and I always steer clear. Re the hull, with your low damage cap (110?) and over 9k hull you don't need to worry about the Fermionic just yet.
I don't know how you can stand the true SSB, I have 651 decks and like you I'm constantly swapping mods in and out and repairing etc, although I think, not to the extent you do. I'm staying at 651 for now while I save ship-bots for the Anubix ally, but I find it frustrating. Well done on you patience!!
I wish I'd had good advice from the start like you, I didn't start PVPing and getting some help until about rank 70.
Good luck for the next 200, I'll see if I can catch you up!!

Philus

Thanks Philus! It's true - the swapping/repairing is a major pain. 12 billion credits vanished last night because everything broke xD

Current setup:



More stats:

Max energy is 2007 when ranking

Production:


I'll probably have the mission exotic in about a month or so... if the RNG is nice

Congrats on being a year old! I reached that about 5 days ago.
A very nice crew as always and amazing productions.
I'm sure rng will give you a few terraformers soon

wow... your ship makes mine look bad and mines a bit older. o.o
