Shout out to the mentors and inspirations of my ship:

• Lumberjack - Mentored me on how to build a nice looking ship. Told me to start early on Crew rather than building decks.
• Golgotha - Inspired me to build a Medium Ship Build after seeing his ship
• xSheDevilx - Back when I was a Rank 100ish ship, I joined Republic of Orion, she inspired me to Raid and Raid and RAID ships!
  There are more players that helped me grow 'til this day, just don't want to make this post longer than it already is. Just wanted to say Thank you for those who helped/inspired my ship grow.

Really good. Only things i'll say is i was expecting your attack and def to be 2k higher then they are and hull to be about 2k more as well along with max E of about 4k but oh well. Great ship mate especially for 1 year! I want your AP lol Good luck with your goals and fly safe.

Had to switch races for a much more energy efficient PvP killing/raiding, had to leave Aerlen Excavator for awhile just until I get the title 'The Marauder'. And ty man.

Only thing that surprised me was...you were in RoO...I can't remember you that far back :p

That's when I was on my 100th-110th day in GL, my time there was pretty short since she had left and joined another legion, forgot the legion.

Still playing catch up i see, not bad though

I really am going to have to reset my ship wont I? My ship is so terrible that it will take a year of slow ranking to get to this point. Q-Q

Very nice stats, Ive almost caught you on Engineers, you have 22 more than me!

Two questions:

1) Why do you not have perfect syncos? just to much space/upkeep or not researched?

2) Have you maxed out your planet slots?

Keep up the good work!

Thanks

decent ship - alot of money been put into it.

The only Money I've put in are Cerulean Fighter (100GP), 2x F.A.T.H.E.R (80GP), 2x Trinity-Core Drive (104GP), my Mission Dyson and my Bane Ally. Compare to others, that's not a lot.

yeah, fair point then. decent ship!! but unwise spending 100gps on the races.

bet you have alot of help from your legion with the arti production!!

Somewhat but 80% of my Ap/h came from my scan blitz/run. Just taken a massive 15x arti gaia yesterday, and will invade more high production terras, the rest I'll sell for Ctp/TM to help me with my 5000 Raid Run.

I'm doing a medium ship build as well, currently sitting at 2132 decks, so I'll try and give a bit of insight.

If you're going for efficiency, you may want to dump the forcevoiders, utricles and BM50's. You can swap the phase engines and BM50's around during base battles. I'd try to get Kalviums and at some point Aegis' in place of those so-so defense mods. Mind controllers and bane emitters are also not very space efficient. Composite rays and if you had the chance to get them, Zebeeren's cannon's are much more space efficient. With composite rays, you can also get the minimum scan for troop carriers and such without buffing or having to swap mods around. Triaxials also aren't too great, but I'm not too sure what to put there instead. Maybe upgrade to synco and/or put an autoevasion node in. You could also replace them with Gemini cannons when you get them, or assembly bots if you play around with some other mods. Just throwing a few options out there.

You're looking great, good luck going forward

You're right but atm, I have no issue running with these modules though Gemini Cannons, Kalviums, Dark assembly bots are my next goal to install. Not so much about Composite rays and Zebeeren's. One has a bad efficiency but has a 3 different bonus to choose from and one is a seasonal rare cannon that came from an npc that I only killed 3x and got Hovertanks. Thanks for your input, much appreciated.

composite rays aint bad. 80 attack/40 defence......for 13 space.

id get the cloak one personally it has the highest output and is also the hardest to build up

Nice ship indeed and wise application of medium ship build.
What iI wonder is why you do not have yet Dominion Auto-Blaster Upgrade? I see you have done Player Kills 4284, so reds are not the issue, right?
Maybe lack of Medal points - so my question is, how are you progressing with Medals?
PS: keep on with raids, 5000 gives you a nice Medal

For one year... Awesome! You're doing GREAT!! I don't see anything that need to be worked on

Currently have 535 Medals, soon to have 550 Medals. Had to sacrifice 20 Medals (Deep Meditation 23/30) to alert a VM + large moons 15x Terra to my legionmates. Failed the invasion to 44% chance :/
