i took one from a 500, and im lvl 110. should i use my flux? its average 5x toxic

hmmm thats a tough question.. for sure the rank 500 will take it back since he/she made it that way... average... not really that great. what a waste of purifiers

how much do you want to keep it?...if you thought it worth stealing, it must be worth a flux?
its not great, but at your level its good enough for decent production.

average and only 5x ??

i wouldn't be surprised if the lvl 500 guy thanks you for freeing up an occupied planet slot,...

...probe it, if it only shows 1 person has it on scan, i wouldn't bother fluxing

he keeps attacking it.....but he cant get past my defences.....i dont know why, and i dont really care if he takes it or not.....its just a game and there are better games

it's possible that he made all the other larger toxics he had 16x, so maybe that was the next one on the list to get upgraded. and obviously he wants it back, so either you can keep the defenses on it and get no production, or you can take them off and let him have it back. after which he'll probably flux it himself. if he doesn't do it immediately that's because he doesn't have a regular Planet Flux and had to make one from the Controlling The Anomaly mission, the only bad part about that artifact is that it won't work if the planet has been attacked within the past week. so if it doesn't get fluxed immediately, just hit the planet once a week so he can't flux it.

see what I do is wait till they make it 15x or 16x and then take it

you know that dude may have read this thread....

Or maybe he is just a bad player, ive seen rank 300 plus with 8 phaser weapons equipped already.. He either started it when he was a low rank and didnt know better or he doesnt know what hes doing.. In either case I find it hard to believe he wouldnt want it back..

that's possible too, I've seen players in 1 man legions over rank 200 that have 300 attack, so either they don't plan on attacking anything ever or he doesn't know to upgrade his weapons which I doubt.

5x Mega rich toxic, hummm nice.
Average planet, heuu what?

some aberation in this universe.

so the big question, should i keep or take?

get some QSEs and keep, if you don't spend money on the game or don't NPC hunt, leave it.

put only resource structure on it.
keep it.
and hope nobody will take it.

THERE ARE BETTER GAMES?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Imo dont use a flux on a minning world, even thoe its x5, if you npc hunt enough you can turn plenty of VL abundant toxics to x16 in a defecent amount of time if you farm npcs often. Minning planets are very each to come by and normally most are rich+ and a good size, sure you wont find a natural x5 toxic but can get some great ones just as easy.

lol thanks for your opinions guys!! i decided not to flux and just let him take back cause its average

this is a game???!!!!

the best toxics are very large or larger (very large being the largest natural size for them) and have a mining production that gives a X00% or X50% (100%, 150%, 200%, 250%, etc)

if it gives a X25% or X75% you'd need to waste a terraformer on it anyway to make it a X00%/X50%, so that it could ultimately become a 16x megarich (from toxic purifiers)....
