Need more energy- can't do anything useful with what you have

How did I know someone would say that...? I'm slow ranking. I want a small energy pool. When I need more energy I can run my max right up to 1.1k or so, but I don't need it that high.

Keep building up your artifact production

My advice:
Carry on as you are for now. Looking at your credit pool, Fermonics, nulls, and trans-temporals would break you right now.

My advice would be shields, all the way up to obviation barriers 1/3. Planet defences, and about 1M RP away (I think) If your base gives 30K RP/day, and you produce 36K/day, 2 weeks it'll take you.

I'd say get more mining - when you can afford your upkeep, AND you're making over 250K extra per day, start on fermonics. Upgrade them 1 by one. 2K mining should be enough to easily make that.

If you need research, Look to the kronyn chain. it's a 2.2 energy:exp ratio. That's like making 11 exp/attack in PvP. It gives, by the end (not the final mission though):
80 hours of research.
6 research production levels.
240 invasion attack and 100 scan (should you want it).
15x +20% planet cloak.
300 scientists, to help raiding and RP production.
160 defence and 100 cloak.

I Know it takes 77.5K energy and 500 flux probes to finish, but you don't have to focus on it. just 1/5 of your energy into it at a time would get you there eventually.

Base is AP focused.

I also assuming you mean 250M extra/day, which is not enough to cover Fermionics really.

I'm out of planet slots, but I was thinking that +10 Structures would get me close to 2k AP, and bump my MP up by abour 300 and RP I wouldn't bother upgrading until later on.

Kronyn huh. Got 500 flux probes to spare?

39M extra upkeep per day for fermonics - x5 is 195M extra.
OK then, 4 weeks of pure production would get you Obviation barriers. Flux probes, I have 50 of them if you want them - for void shells or Shield amps.

And a net profit of 65mil, -repairs it's tight at best.

While you're researching fermonics you'd get some more mining planets.

wonder why his ship is better than mine, i got nearly triple art production and double research production :/

And thus, gentlemen, the way of AU. Masters of everything but energy. I myself am running with 85 max E without relays, heheh.

This was 50 ranks ago. Please, no-one start giving advice...

Lets see how you are sitting now then?

needs more cowbell

Right now is not a good time for me to be posting my stats. My ship is not what it would be, as I am trying to punch out the Mylarai chain, and my productions are down because we're at war, so my best planets are bricked. Also, AU has given me all the advice I need and I don't really need any at the moment.

Buuut, what the hell. For anyone curious, this is what my ship would look like without the ghastly cores and relays I have been forced to install...

Hull: 9939
Shield 710
Energy: 549, 21/hour
Attack: 3802
Defence: 3060
Scan: 6
Cloak: **

...giving me a total strength of 6862. My actual is 414 below that, my energy is at twice the charge and is 200 higher. My cloak is lower and I am slightly behind where I'd like to be on tech. I'm 20% down on AP production, and also 25% down on MP.

As I say, don't bother giving advice. It's merely there because someone asked.

Still a ton of hull for your rank.
