silly question but is base consideres as NPC? will Drannik get +40% attack against bases? I asked few people already and some say that Drannik gets this bonus and some say that he doesn't. So how it really is?

No. Bases are bases. They do not fall into PvP nor NPC combat. They are completely separate.

thx. Drannik doesn't look so tempting any more

well its good if your gonna be on a NPC hunt spree, however at the same time I feel that Conocol ( or however you spell it ) would be a better chioce as you get an all around attack % increase as opposed to just NPCs

Konqul:

Konqul sounds better indeed. The second question now - miner or builder? My upkeep is over 200M/day and mineral production just over 2000/hr. Which will be futureproof?

If you can afford to maintain your ship plus do the other stuff (colonize, invade, repairs) stay away from builder.

aye... builder is nothing more than a trap for the financially unstable folks... once you get used to being a builder it's hard to get away from that...

right now i'm staring at 35 builders in our legion... some of which are also still sillixx race (another trap people fall into)
and i often hear them say "i can't afford anything but builder"

there are plenty of other professions that give useful abilities, and also don't forget the fixer profession that not only helps you but also your legion's base... don't go builder if you can help it

yep yep, said it before, builder is nothing but a crutch.

thx guys. I'll stay away from builder than. Fixer sounds nice. I need to do some more research first so will stay Vygoid for few more weeks and then Konqul Fixer
