How am I doing so far?
I PvP but am currently freezing to improve my ship from my legions base.
I know my arti is bad but I cannot find good artifact worlds at this time, Thanks

Your ship is definitely above average by my standards.

Yeah, keep working on your artifact production. Wait for star chart purgers so you can scan at least 1 planet a day. Don't over scan though because purgers are always good to wait for in the long run.

With that said, keep upgrading your scan mods so you can continue scanning even though you're colonizing planets.

Lastly, pump everything into hull asap. Every deck space needs to go into hull. Nothing else matters right now.

By the way, you're considered an MSB now because you have more than 2 times your deck in rank.

You'r ship looks good, I would put all feromonic hull modules on instead of any other module, but that's only my opinion.

You reset!

Nice attack for rank and time played. One thing I'd say is that freezing with 215 Arti per hour + Base Shipment is not a good way to get ahead. Not saying you need to start ranking like crazy (ranking just to rank won't get you ahead either), but I would stop considering it a means to any sort of positive end. Even if you have horrific scan luck, you can still score some nice farmable planets through trading or a lucky FFA if you are in the right trade group or legion. Personally, I'd work on all the angles on planet acquisition, set 1,000 ap/hour as a short term goal, and move on from there.

No sir, I have not reset. Thank you for the advice.....Gotta get me some of them nice artifact planets......Maybe someone could donate some to me

Then you have really been freeze ranking!

The first legion I was in told me not to rank until it was necessary

Sigh.

No disrespect to your first legion, but that sounds like such a horrible existence! There are so many things worth spending energy and ranking over, and there's a difference between ranking just to rank without any aim (not smart!), and ranking because you are spending energy to earn rewards or meet goals (smart!). As long as there is a purpose to it, don't be afraid to rank.

Furthermore, while there are more 3-hit wonders available for easy killing in the sub-100 rank category, PVP really isn't *that* much more difficult at rank 400-900, and IMHO is more fun due to the need for more strategy. Can't speak to high rank PVP (I imagine the lack of targets would be frustrating), but at least in my experience, all the warnings that PVP is going to become some kinda nightmarish slog after rank 200... then after rank 300, after rank 400, after 500, etc... really have not proven true at all. And it's not just my own experience: a rank 1,200 in my legion recently set a goal of getting his Tri-Blasters in short order, and did so no problem. 1088 kills in a few weeks while also locking and hitting bases, doing legion missions, and donating his excess energy. Don't be afraid to rank up and have yourself some fun

Donating is not an option in this game lol. You pay for them. THat's why the best SSBs are resets because they earn tons of CTP like myself and then reset.

so that would be something like having people hold your best planets that way you can start off the game with absolutly no advantage whatsoever... riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight thats a rest. And yes you can have a strong ship without resetting, or with resetting.. actually resetting. It just takes more time and some planning.
