@Topherousenator

Was talking about Joseph4.

Admittedly, my average production per planet is Awful compared to both of you

The only thing I beat you on is defense and based on how quickly you are growing, that won't last long.

Kronyn: Erudition
Excavator: Artifact +10%
Rank: 435
Space: 2609 / 2609
Attack: 12193
Defense: 19538
Hull: 21416
Shield: 3235

Just autoranked Talth mission chain. My ship hasn't really changed much since rank 425, so I am going to wait until rank 525 to make another ship log. Right now I am rank 508.

Taltherian is not worth all the enrgy IMO. You get an additional 20 artifact/hour every 40 hours. The only way it can benefits you is if you freeze rank for 2-3 months

If you're only getting 20 aph each time, your planet isn't set up right. I get at least 30. And it doesn't have to be freeze ranking, works well for slow and medium rankers as well, since you can still NPC, steal planets when you're talth.

Yeah, it's more than 20 AP/H if you use production boosting artifacts, like I am planning to do.
Like Demon said, I'll still be NPCing and everything I'd be doing 60 ranks ago.

I still think doing the Talth Chain was a great idea, and I've already made an amazing planet steal! look in the Galaxy Pub for a story about it. It maybe sounds kinda dumb, but to me it is a really amazing steal!

or if your patient like me and increase your mining 3k by being mylarai....
or by 10k ish and growing by being kronyn

you'll have talitherian alot erlier than I sadly but i'll get it eventually.

I hadn't realised you are such a fan of worgen. Just seen this on his comm.

LOL!! Haha! xD I didn't know anyone actually read my comms! 99% of them are just mindless gibberish, like that one.
But I just post random crap to Worgen every time I badge him in hopes that he'll take the comm instead of smashing my ship in two. And so far it has worked! lol

I don't badge worgen, takes too much energy. I can get 4-5 reds off other people for the price of 1 from worgen.
Worgen doesn't badge me as far as I have seen, might be because I run 1k cloak permanently on my ship though.

He hasn't badged me either lately, but I am still scared of his ship since he used to be on the top 10 kills leaderboard list. I've probed him before and his atk is less than my defense, iirc, so I shouldn't really be too worried. lol

He uses a small ship build, someone with a small ship build can be an absolute pain in the neck because their max damage is so low that you will hardly ever out damage them.

unless your defense is so high that their attack doesn't matter, the downside to ssb is you have to almost exclusivly concentrate on artifacts, and good ones to maintin the gain that not having those other mods will land you.

granted over time that that diminishes as a full set of heavy thatas is worth roughly 2.8k attack, and your tac officer count alone will out shine that. but early on it can be a real struggle.

I don't pvp much currently when I do its someone I recognize from the forums or a SSB, the SSB is just so I can see how much hull / shields I will have left at the end of the round.

After autoranking the Talth Chain, I decided to slow rank some. By slow ranking I mean slow PvPing and mostly zeroing people. So I finally made it to 525, after like a month and then some (34 days) and my ship greatly improved (imo), although it might not seem like it. I completely re-figured my ship, tell me how you like it!

Here are my previous goals. I am glad to say that now, 75 ranks after, I have FINALLY reached some of my goals!


New Goals By Rank 550:
1. Reach 30k AP (Shouldn't be too hard with my slow ranking)
2. Reach 29k SS (26.8k ATM)
3. Get That 4th Auto-Blaster
4. Get That Last Protean Arsenal
5. Get Bane to 100. (Rank 81 ATM)
6. Get Serhin, Bioship Ally
7. Do Some More Missions

I know it's a tad late, but I just realized I broke 20,000 crew! (406 people ago )

Now my total crew count is 20,406!

Rank 541
4006 Engineers
6568 Tactical Officers
3514 Helmsmen
6318 Scientists

Total Crew:Rank Ratio (I dunno if this is an actual thing, just wanted to have a ratio in here somewhere. LOL)
37.7

Yayz!

cograts Topher ! i hit that milestone just last week as well (20oct) at rank 440. up to 20776 at last count.

my crew to rank ratio is 46.38 ... hard to boost it with the daily ranking for the sehrin rankups ... but it is rank 47 now ... so should cap out near the end of november.

Nice but I have you beat for now.

Rank 679
5406 Engineers
6067 Tactical Officers
3249 Helmsman
6490 Scientists

Total Crew Count: 21212

Wow. You're just destroying me on crew count. And to make matters worse, you're nearly 100 ranks below me AND you have the Sehrin! You must have a very solid ship. lol


Hehe. It's a small gap, we'll see if it gets bigger or smaller by my next full update (in 9 slow ranks)!
But regardless, they're very nice numbers!

I have a bit more arti according to your last update, and I'll be ranking more so I think I may just pull further ahead.

Oh oh oh! But it's 32k now (30k is a better milestone, but I forgot ) and it's growing!

Artifacts 27109 points / hour

Switching to excavator on November 7th, you better watch out
