NEW STATS:


















Not giving effects cus I don't want you to know what traps I have on. But FYI, I never run Halycons- I don't like them, a bit unsportsmanlike for me- but your absolutely welcome to your own opinion

Getting a legion helps.

Duh. I was just between legions during my tour

Arti needs to be your focus untill its 2x, mining.
What are your standards for planets?
After taking away scientists im guessing you average a bit over 100 production a planet. That's way low.

When I started, I had pretty much no standards... Now, I only take large+rich or higher. Preferably higher.

Your productions are pretty low... these are mine:

Mining: 3806/hr (Mylarai)
Artifact: 3104 (Behind)
Research: 2677

You do have a slight edge on research, but on the others...

My edge on research is about to get way bigger- I'm almost at Kronyn. I'll do Taltherian soon.

Both good choices. That means you should not be taking any res planets other than vm gases. Also for mining large rich doesn't cut it. Needs to be higher than that. Try to focus on vl toxics as they are the easiest to improve. Also of you have anything large rich or worse make sure they have no defense.

Exactly what I do (other than the planet selection. The only ones I bother with defenses on very large/extremely rich +

Energy seems low to me, but that's dependent on what you do and how fast you want to rank. Ned to get the rest of your npc mods, and battle market modules.

Got most NPC mods already- just missing Korteth stuff 1 of each silthion, and a few computers. Oh yeah, and the last Ballistae. My max energy is actually 1624, I just don't have enough decks...

Move away from builder as soon as you can.its a horrible profession that only had some merit at upper ranks when upkeep is crazy high. When you go kronym pick excavator

also I don't see silver badge mods.

For res get obv shields (first tier only) then probably move on to 12s

Ah ok. Energy is ok then I think. Do you have the silthion defenses? If so wht aren't they online? They have a better deck to def ratio than anything you have on. If nit go get them you will also be seeing hyper grids and command nexus' befor long. Need those mods too.

Yeah, that's almost true. The complex thrusters are better, though... Changed around a bit.
Oh, and forgot.. I still need one more XRP battery pack

Anyways, what should I research next? I have just finished stage 1 of syncopated.

More hull.
And production need to go higher, esp. artifact and research. ( You too strmavnger )
Must've taken you a while to research the stuff.

Holy crap... you have a low amount of planetary production. That definitely needs some work IMO.

my production numbers were right around there, within a few hundred points on all of them, its not too late for ya, just drive your arti production like mad, and the rest will follow. try to only take other peoples toxics that have already had the work done on them its even easier then npcing for your own.
dont take too many gas planets, they become dead weight quite quickly. (or just extra credits) but even as a credits resource, whats a very massive gas pump out, 180-220ish pts an hour.. my research is going up by nearly 1K a month because of arti production.. those planets are looking more and more like dead weight.

yeah. I said only take what he will turn into a17x plasma. And yes endorse are worth it. They can make as much credits as a toxic. Plus they sell for a decent bit.

you might need to up your research i am rank 217 and i am almost at 4k research per hour. I am kronyn however so i don't need very many planets i just upgrade the very massive gases I've already got. Over 70% of my research comes from planets I've upgraded or are upgrading though and crew. We are about the same in minerals thought i am at 2200 and artifact i am a bit ahead with 2500. Over all i think your doing good though.
