commons do take me some time to kill, shadin corsairs and chargers, they take like 7 hits but stuff like, dark warpers, take like 40 hits :/, i only disable npcs with low def, they actually alright in energy/xp return, but i think getting end mission rewards are pretty good, they all take 0 space :D

You're lucky. 80% of my tab is Top 10 legions, and I haven't seen a No Legion target for a month and a half. Throw in traps and a disturbing rarity of null fuses and I'm fortunate to get 1 disable per WEEK.

when around rank 50-100 is probably best to pvp

too high rank, you would be in dath flagitious position, everyone in big ships and in big legions, mined with traps

too low rank , not enough energy to get lotsof kills

i got alot of kills only cuase of energy tech not weapons of def, i can shoot more bullets with lotsa energy :)

but for me its , hard finding someone to hack :( , i just need blue and yellow badges, if i disable some guys ship, itll be just for the sake of combat reputation and raiding to get the yellow badge

EDIT : speaking about pvp, i need stop disabling people now -,,,- , dont want to be targeted by the galaxy :X , ill just wait till ejjakai beats me

@darth ,but they drop mods and buffs that help increase attack which in turn increases xp/energy.
@commonwealth, you said you wanted expansion well without buffs for attack im getting between 4 and 7 xp/energy and this goes up to around 6-10 with max buffs (neural interface, rsl memory implanet, crimson obilisk, ancient crystal foci, crimson amplifier, shockpulse charger and nanite swarms)

Not arguing that. Of course they give very useful mods and such, but they take a lot of energy to kill so your xp/E for that particular NPC is going to suck compared to commons. With a neural and rsl you're looking at around 3:1 per shot. That's the same ratio you would get fighting commons, but you get the real boost from the multiple Disable Rewards.

I'd love to know how you manage to get a 7:1 xp/E ratio... that would be getting 35 xp for a shot that costs 5 energy... ??

agree! +1 nuerals and rsl implants are great! , i used it for that mission slave revolution and mysterious world, got a LOAD of xp returned, ranked up lots!

i have loaded my ship with heavy anti-protons and the buffs get me to around 4500 attack and at my low rank that's quite a bit, im talking about over a run of like 2000 energy on them getting almost 20 xp per 5 energy and anywhere between 25 and 400 xp on disable... with all those boosts on i can very easily go up a rank with just one load of energy.

why dont you do that, youll get to rank 200 in over a night ! i know i would ranking up is one of my top priorities

but see thats the difference between you and sgtlynch. he took it slow and thats why hes so high tech and good for his rank. his ship is better than most 200+s. i ranked as fast as i possibly could. now my ship is average at best. i can no longer hold off entire legion onslaughts like i used to with the crappier legions i used to target, and i can barely find a target to disable. im tryin to get as many in as i can while im still mid-ranked because when i get to darths level im gonna get barely any. ranking up slow gives you the opportunity to get more ship building artifacts and more research. the only downside is it cuts access to high level npcs. its always the players choice, and i still prefer the speed ranking strategy, but i can definitly see the advantage to taking it slow.

and its only that good with all the buffs. but some people in my legion took taking it slow to the max. the was one rank 180's had thetacron cannons sycnopated armor hyperflux senors and exergernic inverters now have any of you seen someone with a ship like that?

dont matter,
higher ranked, more planets.
more planets, more growth
more growth, better research and economy
better research and economy, better build
and will eventually surpass those that dont rank up

when i start intra D collision research, ill be ranking up once a day :) again- meaning more planets, etcetc more growth

i disagree because: the faster you rank up the less time you will have had to research and kill elite NPC's compared to others your rank yes you will get more planets but people at the same rank as you will have had them for longer and will have better tech, your ship will end up being weaker for your rank the faster you rank up.

This is my strategy: research all tiers of one research level at a time, picking the technology that will require the least amount of research for the first tier.

This has provided me a very balanced ship that (due to my high deck/level ratio) I can beat every player I can find on my battle tab in disables and hacks, while still being well protected in return. I never level up too quickly and always level before I get bored. I always get enough planets to hold me until my next scanning blitz, and always get enough purgers between them that I fill my scans with good planets.

i know a guy rank 350 , he gets around 8000 artifact points an hour, 9000 research an hour ,he is not even gp player, his production is equaivalant to those that are even 100-200 ranks above and so his ships strong enough to bash up rank 700+s i seen him do it and there is some evidence of it on the forums :)

8000 artifacts an hour , 12 hours a day, around 1000000 artifact points, you are guranteed to get 3-4 rescured prisoners, 7-8 android, 7-8 durtanium brackets, 7-8 x charge cells, PER DAY

if a guy gets 4001 research compared to a guy getting 4000 research, that guy will still catch up! as long as his production is hgiher, of i course i aim to get twice as much as average production like 4000 and i have 6000 or seomthing like that

and will surpass those that stop and do nothing, if you can get HIGHER planet production WHY NOT

On what planet do you live where you have 12 hours days?!

Earth... 12 hours a day, 12 hours a night.... O_o

Rumor has it there are people who do other things with their lives than play Galaxy Legion. Some even sleep.

The slackers and wimps.

thats nice ;);) im sure we get alot entertainment and excitement from sleep :L

finished level 6 stuctures woohoo they're crap not gonna upgrade planets, getting planetary shields now

you need to research to +8 structures all at once or else you just wasted your time and your research. i researched to +10 all at once, and it was worth it. i suggest you press on with buildings.
