I have not started the exotic chain or the Laziul (sp) chain. I was wondering if I should get the exotic algorithm first or the 5th and 6th npc first. It would be alot less energy to get the algorithm.

I would go for the tactical remodulation in the exotic chain.

I am 29/120 Of the Algorithm, I just do it when i have spare energy, On the other hand, I want the NPC slots, so i am going to do the Lazuli Chain.

Dont forget, doing the lazuli chain gets you more bonuses than just the NPC Slots.

Hmm i think ill go for the algorithm

Look at it this way. If you were on for the NPC refresh every 8 hours within a 24 hour perios, with the tactical re-modulation you would get a total of 12 refreshes assuming you have the base 2 NPC slots. With the extra 2 slots you would get 6 refreshes. Tactical re-modulation should always come first.

Got to disagree here. Think it depends how much energy you have though and whether you can autorank. I can throw 6000 energy into an NPC blitz and can often level a couple of times in a row. 18k energy can find a lot of shared NPCs. 4 slots isn't enough and sometimes neither is 6.

I also tend to skip past ships which use an ability such as Styrll Trappers till I've got a lot of them on my tab. Saves on Containment Cages. Again, 6 slots is much better for this tactic.

Tactical remodulation is nice but it's not worth it. It takes 100 energy to use right? That's 20 shots. If you've got 4 NPC slots that's 5 shots per Assassin instead of using tactical remodulation. Those 5 shots make it a much easier kill - about the same number of hits as flamehawks - and you get dark badges as well.

There's also little useful out of the exotic matter chain whereas the mission after the NPC slots one on the Lazuli chain give a ship module which boost attack and energy.

Your info is our. tactical re-modulation is free. is it cost 100 energy i'm pretty sure nobody would use it.

Really? Okay. In which case it's a bit better. Don't know why I thought it took 100 energy.
