While the zolazin battle is active, is it worth NOT finishing it to farm the easy NPCs and getting the debris to sell on?

debateable. while they are easy kills, and they are exp powerhouses, the next mission in the chain gives you two more NPC slots. so instead of 2 you get 4. i have a guy in my legion who wont finish the battle just because he wants to beat on the zolazin some more. as a zolazin it makes me sad. but nothing i can do about it lol.

That's the debate that I'm having.
Also, you could sell the extra debris for cash on the forum.

I personally love being a zolazin, it makes invasions easier, if you are desperate for cash you can sell out your ability and get some quick cash, it's the ultimate team helper and plus you get a nice big bonus for hacking.

Once you become Zolazin whats the better class to choose from? Hacker, sab, spy?

I chose saboteur, it's done me a lot of good, and so far I've had few retaliations for sabotaging planets. if you are using the race to hack people I'd think you'd want to go with hacker.

and i personally chose to be a spy. 60% to cloak is a major help with hacking. i sat at the computer and definately debated for about an hour over sab or spy.

I have a while to go yet before i have that choice but its going to be a tough one between sab or spy i think.
Sab is def a unique chose for the ability to take out planet structures, you would be one of the key players in your Legion!!!!

you would think so...i stopped being a sab because it got a bit boring waiting for planets to be alerted.
you get no other bonus' with that job...it is great for the team, but detrimental to your own play.
i'm a Kronyn excavater these days...awesome ship design and good ability (for myself lol)

Aside from the race choice, and the NPC slots, if you are considering leaving it (I am), the xp boost depends on whether it spawns random ones regardless of rank, or if it spawns the bigger one if you are high rank. The XP ratio varies from 3.1 to 4.6 . The Zolazin Revenant is the 4.6 -- the highest XP thing I have found and not hard to kill at high ranks.

Anyone observe if you get random zolazin spawns, or if it is around your rank ? Like are you seeing the rank 10,15,30 ones at a high rank or no ?

btw, you can get 2 of the 3 glaviz even if you don't finish it up.

at rank 110 the vast majority of ships were between 10 and 30, so i think its constant no matter what the players rank

They all take 3-5 hits to take down, depending on their damage cap.

Only if you think the profit from selling Zolazin Debris exceeds the potential missed opportunities for rewards from uncommons, rares, and elites that might turn up in the additional NPC slots.

In all fairness, Hacker gives less of an advantage to hacking than Spy does because the Hacking +30% only applies to the initial success roll and not the critical success roll as well, whereas the Cloak +68% applies to both rolls.

As I just stated above, it's actually Cloak +68% for a Zolazin Spy because the Race and Profession bonuses are multiplied. ;)

So your saying spy is the better race? what your saying actually makes sense.

I'm saying Spy is the individually most beneficial Profession available to as a Zolazin; however, I still feel that Saboteur is far and away the best option when it comes to helping your legion.
