Been playing for almost 9 months now, at rank 90, just want to check in for some feedback and suggestions before it's too late. I am attempting to slow rank so I leave my weapons offline as I'm not doing much other than bases and hacks.

you are going nicely, as always higher arti is always better. i recommend pvping and gaining all reds for your dominion cannons mk3, and raiding some more to gain your final protean armory, same with your cipherbot. goodluck
