I'm sure it been mentioned a lot but just wanting all the information on ships build more specifically on MSB builds as I think that is what I am 2224 decks at rank 493 and I am having to switch around a lot of modules when I level and because I can generally auto rank off NPCs this gets expensive (I'm either looking for ways to limit the cost such as which modules are the cheapest to uninstall and/or whether my mining needs to go up but it already caps in about 7 hours). I would also like to point out that Mining is currently 8127 and I have 21 planet slots available.

Links to topics that would give me more info would be great just need to be pointed to where there is lots of info on the topic. I've tried searching but there are just to many topics to look through would be nice if the search omitted having the same topic brought up more than once

Raise your mining more with maxed toxics. A good rule of thumb is to make 3x+ your upkeep per day. Depending on how often you can log in to grab resources the cap shouldnt hurt you too much. I cap in 4 hours and generally lose out on 8 hrs of minerals every day but make enough to cover upkeep, invasions, and turn a nice profit. The high end researched modules are going to cost you the most to repair but that is the price you pay for running a small ship.

Thanks Darth,

Good advice wasn't aware of the 3x your upkeep. Last time I checked I think I made between 7-8B per day or 300-350M per hour and my upkeep is 5B.

Also thought that my ship wasn't small to be honest but then again I am not totally sure what amount of decks constitutes an SSB, MSB or LSB

Don't be afraid to get research planets too. Better Mods. And once your tech is filled out they can pay upkeep as well.

Thank Chakotay,

The research I have left to research is

Quasi-Chaotic Force
Proxy-Universe Reactions
Cloaking from Dimensional Masking
Entropy Field Warping (working on right now)
