I'm rank 142 at the moment, and I'm wondering if Kronyn is going to be worth it for me? I'm already quite heavily research oriented, and my legion base gives 20k Research a day (When we haven't been disabled; not that it happens often). If Kronyn isn't worth it, I might aim for another race instead. I'm an Inergon Merchant at the moment.

Also, what sort of production stats should I be getting at my rank? I'm at 1274 mining, 1138 Artifact and 1583 Research (Per hour).

Kronyn is worth it until you're at about 3000 - 4000 research. Your base will also eventually switch to artifact when it gets big enough.

My Research per hour is 13622 and I'm still Kronyn.

Better planets is key to the game. You can help others with your research. Also allows you to rank faster, as long as your arti is more than your Research and mining.

If you are a slow ranker, I am not sure its as valuable.

I rank fairly quickly. It can go from once every three days to twice a day.

I may jump to Taltherian when I hit a high enough rank.
