good luck with those badges. even without getting 1exp from any other source i dont think the reds required for everything by level 100 is possible without cheating the system. not that it really matters. at your current rate youll be long gone before you get the medal points to use them.

so much contention over such base topic.
my thoughts :
freeze ranking is good if there is a set determined goal, for example : have x researched by x rank have x production by x rank
etc...
whatever the purpose as long as their is a goal there then that's fine, ddoesn't make it the best decision but makes it validated.
Personal opinion though you are better off to "snail rank" rank slowly while still working towards what you want to do.
If I were in your shoes I would pick either the kronyn or mylarai race chain, do that and then freeze / snail rank so that you can at least build production slowly while you do it.
kronyn would be better for your research by mularai has the kalvium fortified platings so its kinda a tossup

Hey guys. Why don't we all shut the hell up and let the guy play the game as he wants to play it? There's a difference between giving him advice and laughing at him. I don't think freeze ranking is going to do anything good for him at this rank, but it's his ship, his life and his choice.

Appreciate the change in tone. I don't mind constructive criticism, not really the purpose of the thread but better then just making fun of people playing the game.
Trying to get the best K:D was the purpose of freeze ranking at lvl 4. Wanted to bolster research/ship stats before reaching a rank that would give players a chance to disable me. At this rank as long as I don't get alerted to a legion I can't really be disabled. Once I get a bit higher in my research I will begin to slow rank.
The reason I am not waiting till I get a good freeze ranking race like Mylarian is that it takes so long to get, It would not surprise me if you could reach rank 70 or higher just from the XP(and rank replenishments) alone, which would bring me into the range of being an open target, and would take up levels I want to use to get badges.

If you want the best K:D ratio, a slowranking small ship build would be more effective than freeze ranking at such a low rank.
Keep in mind that as you rank up, the range of higher ranking ships that can see your ship increases, which means the range of stronger ships that can see your ship increases as well. Assuming you freeze rank at such a low rank and then slow rank to, say, rank 300, getting an AP production of 9k by then, you will not be much stronger than a player started off at the same time, ranked regularly to 400, and then slow-ranked to 500 with 15k AP - but you would likely be on each other's battle tab.

romanoid wrote: well freezrank works only if you have like minimum of 100k AP/h otherwise its waste of time To put his words another way, "Don't freeze rank unless you have godly AP production." Though I would add a caveat: If you have at LEAST 50, if not 70, times your rank in AP production slow or freeze ranking may be worthwhile for periods of time as at that ratio you tend to have a better production than most your rank, and those quite a bit above your rank(unless you are above rank 1000 then all bets seem to be off really). Otherwise if you want to slow/freeze rank do it for a goal like Elerian said otherwise it's just time and energy wasted.

Guys read what he is writing. He wants to farm low ranks for kills. Legionless, weak, no ap, no hull or defense bottom of the barrel low ranks. He doesn't need to have anything except a massive hull and defense to make them unable to kill him back.
Get your armories for the hull and then find a artifact base soak up some points for a few weeks and go wild.

If I was going down that path, I would finish the kronyn chain (unlocked at rank 5) That would leave you at about rank 100, from there farm easy targets and uplift/scan new planets. Oh and only kill bosses/elites and good regular npcs(sort of a #*&$ move if you're only killing alerted npcs). Make sure you're in an artifact legion.

Always coming across new generations of nutcases eh? I love that http://galaxylegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=26847PhantasyStar wrote: Well, long story short, I was 200 for quite a while and had already intended to post my stats and stuff on the forums, but my laptop decided to drop dead. I acquired a low cost gaming desktop almost instantly and the next thing I knew, net was out. This post will not be as complete as I intended it to be, but I believe this will suffice for now. I have received a substantial amount of hate and accusations of being a heavy CC player and a hacker. I assure you, I am neither. My build has also been picked at, saying that I will never survive without the builder bonus. I would also assure you, it is entirely possible, but I am merely cutting some costs. If I were Aerlen, one may accuse me of never being able to get the defense I have. If I were Sillixx, one may accuse me of not having the base decks to equip all my current modules. Well, the races and bonuses are here for a reason. I saw this happen on Tommy15551's thread, *Shrugs*. Now, my original goals back when I was an Aerlen Physicist are as follows: Beat rival Tommy15551 in stats by 200 *Check*5 digit hull by 200. *Check*7k shields (Physicist bonus) by 200. *Check*2x kalviums by 200 *Failed*5 digit defense (Aerlen bonus) by 200 *Check* (I am aware that Anzid has achieved this way before 100) Attack (Non-Konqul) = 1/2 defense by 200 *Check*Star Destroyer (To equal, if not beat SilentNight, previous known achiever) by 200 *Check*5 digit cargo by 200 *Check*3x Aegis by 200 *Check*3x Velox by 200 *Check*A little history now, I was a heavy slow leveler in the facebook game Castle Age, where I met Derick Allen and defeated his own slow leveling Castle Age character. Impressed, we became quick friends and we formed the guild, True Untouchables in Castle Age. However, it did not work as freeze levelers were simply too hard to find in that game. Soon after, I was introduced to this amazing game by Derick, and joined Ancient Untouchables as a total newb. Back then, we had no bases, no medals and the sort of interesting stuff you find around these days. Derick then formulated his plan of going slow to the initial founding members of Ancient Untouchables, with quite a few players from the Untouchables in Castle Age. I simply followed through, nodding in amazement. How long have I been playing, approximately, give and take the fact that I couldn't have possibly been here every single day:  My current unbuffed ship stats, rising all the time.  My research tree:  What I have on atm: (Note that I have several ship bots stored and that not everything is installed atm, as I have a plan thanks to friends like Golgotha, Exterminator, Unrepentant who have given some sound advice).  Buffed stats:  Buffs equipped:  My ship as seen:  Old post. I'm 100+ ranks higher and more than 3 times stronger in combat now, not to mention the current me would out-hack the old me to pieces. Basically, I could zero my old self without running out of E or buffing up/debuffing. Oh, and that's like....a year ago I think. Freeze rank only when it gives you the advantage. I don't freeze rank blindly, I look out for particular NPCs, particular missions, and particular opportunities whenever I decide to stop at specific rank brackets. I find fun in freeze ranking, and I've seen your justification on your full-time job and etc. I understand that, and I hope you're truly satisfied with your progress. Feel free to join my legion Ancient Untouchables anytime you want. We get 84k AP per day for each of our 40+ members.
