How am I doing for a rank 32?(other than resource production, I know I need to do a scan blitz at some point soon)(the 3 effects are Proteans)

good job on the kills ! keep it up ! at my rank it is much much more difficult

I call shenanigans sir, those 3 effects are DEFINITELY cypher bots !!!

but seriously good job, once your over rank 50 KV's become far more common, it sucks.

No, Proteans, he hasn't hacked anyone yet

they could be silver badge mods
or buffs

i was being sarcastic

No guys they are proteans, Agrona is in my legion.

pretty sure we know, the woman was kidding around lol (not trying to be derogatory)

with that said, kills are increasingly rare.

not trying to devalue any achievements you have obtained, but player stats arnt exactly important... granted, i look at them from time to time on laughable players just to see how few kills they really have compared to how many deaths theyre obtaining, but the key is actually how you use your rank points, and your artifact production. Artifact production essentially gives you more rank points per level than you otherwise would obtain. I dont know how far you are past 32, as much of this advice will not help players that are as low ranked, but honestly, rank points are the most valuable commodity in this game. Decks are finite, and essentially, are not as good as everyone thinks they are. Now, dont get me wrong, i went all decks for about 200 ranks. but after that, i rarely put any points into decks, as they all went into crew. When you look at the endgame, everyone for the most part has the same modules. Thus, every player has the same base stats. What determines a players ship after that is how many helmsmen and tac officers a player has. So, i would encourage you to keep getting kills, as kills are by far the easiest way to gain xp with that 19:5 xp ratio, but just remember to gain as much artifact production as you can in relation to other planets, and know when to stop putting points into decks. I forget who originally stated this quote, but essentially have just enough mining planets to keep up with upkeep and other expenses, and have 2 artifact worlds AT LEAST for every research planet you get. Then you can grow your ship efficiently.
