Ship Strategy

Revision as of 01:53, 13 July 2011

In Galaxy Legion there are many styles of game play to use. It can be difficult switching from some of them, as Rank Points cannot be reassigned, but they are effective strategies nonetheless.

1 All Rounder
2 Slow Ranker
3 Fast Ranker
4 Hacker
5 Small Ship / Raider

All Rounder

The most popular ship layout, as an all rounder you will have a balanced ship with a balanced Research Tree. Players using this strategy will not be as effective in Combat as other ships, but will be far more effective than people using hacker builds.

Suggested Races: Any

Suggested Professions: Any

Slow Ranker

As a slow ranker you will level up slowly to get optimum Research and Artifacts to make your ship stronger. As such, you will have amazing effectiveness in Combat, but will lack the Energy to do much in one go. Slow rankers will often neglect the energy and cloaking trees to give them as much as possible to spend on things like the weaponry and structures. The aim here is to stay at least one tier of weapons ahead of most other players in your range in order to get as many kills with your energy as possible. One drawback is that your Upkeep can get extremely high, so you will need a very high mining income to balance this. Due to Rank effecting what Minerals you get, you will need far higher than people at higher ranks.

Suggested Races: Aerlen, Konqul, Lazuli, Vygoid

Suggested Professions: Excavator,Fixer, Miner

Fast Ranker

The exact opposite of slow rankers, fast rankers will invest heavily in Energy to level up quickly. Many fast rankers level up more than once in a single day, as opposed to the leveling up once every three to seven days like a slow ranker. You will have a much less powerful ship in Combat, as you will invest more in Engineers rather than Decks, and research the energy tree more heavily, in addition to structures.

Suggested Races: Human, Inergon

Suggested Professions: Any

Hacker

A hacker build focuses on a specific area of PvP other than Combat as a whole - Hacking. Hacking allows you to steal research from your opponent, ultimately getting you further ahead in your own research - often more so than the slow rankers. As a hacker you need to research heavily in cloaking devices, as well as some scanning. It is recommended that you also research weaponry, hull, and other combat-related tools such as defense, as well as structures.

Suggested Races: Zolazin

Suggested Professions: Hacker, Spy

Small Ship / Raider

Often described as a slow death, this is a strategy that looks - and is - powerful early on, but one that you will regret later on in the game. The aim here is to only add one Deck per Rank in order to keep your damage cap as low as possible. The damage cap is how much damage you can take from a single attack. There are two formulas for this, ((Rank+19)/2) or (Decks/2), whichever is greater. Small ships will typically invest in Tactical Officers and Engineers, and mainly research hull and structures.

Suggested Races: Konqul, Lazuli

Suggested Professions: Excavator, Fixer, Raider
