Hi im currently konqul fixer with a 6.1B upkeep which is totaly affordable (still doing 6B over my upkeep) but everytime I look at heavy Quasi I wonder are they worth their price ?

Equiping 8 of them would be a 7 B augmentation (I own 3 dark assembly bot) and only give about 691 attack giving me a 13.1B upkeep (less affordable) so my question is if we don't take in consideration my revenue (let say I do 20 B a day) are 7B each day (+- 180B to equip them) are worth it for +- 700 attack ?

right now no, it's not. Eventually your income will be greater and you will be able to make enough to afford them easily then they might be, but until then don't bother.

My question is not are they affordable for me, I prefer the 6B over my upkeep then 700 attack but are they worth it at all even with good mineral income ?

I could afford the weapons really early(like rank 500), i didn't buy them until like rank 950 though. It was at that point that i felt the extra attack would be a good thing to have, both because my PvP targets now had much higher defenses and we were hitting stronger bases, and i wanted to deal more damage.


So realistically, unless you are really lacking in the attack department, i.e. low tac officer count, then they're not really worth it right now.

Personally i dont think so, bear in mind im only mid 300 so i dont know what mineral production should be at higher levels, or how the mineral curve changes. However i do remember binaryman, and a couple of others saying that they were not worth it.

Probably not but end game, there is nothing to spend money on other than expensive invasions and upkeep. Might as well get a little extra attack.

Not worth it EVER!!! Especially if you heavy artifact. You will get Rescue Prisoners and if you put them all towards attack you will get more attack then the boost from Heavy Thetas to Heavy Quasi

430
358
-------
72/2 36 Ranks. 12 Rescue prisoners.

That just for one weapon. 6 days averaging 2 rescue prisoners. You have the cost of one of the weapons covered.

Save the upkeep for scan mods or cloak if you want to run them later..

Not to rain on your logic, but even if Atlas did install heavy quasi's, he'd still be getting the 2 rescued prisoners a day as above anyway. So not only would he have that attack from the HQ's, but he'd be getting the added atk from the prisoners at the same time.

I'm "heavy" artifact and have been since around 10 months ago, and even i installed heavy quasi's. So to say there not worth it ever is definitely not true.


.....

The reason binaryman didn't need to install them is because he had a huge energy build.

If wants to get them he can.

But that my advice. Take or leave it.
