Hey guys i am trying to reach some goals i made a thread on earlier and my plan has been to freeze rank at rank 70 till i complete all my research trees once (so getting a mark 3 for everything that is next to be researched), and i have completed all this so far.
Antimatter Streams
Zero Point Energy
Disruption Fields (dont really care about shields so its preety low and unresearched)
Negative Refraction (same thing)
Neutronium

and now im working on and have to research
Quantum Overlays
Sub-Dimensional Sensors
Gravshell Construction
AI Logistics

the plan was to finish the remaining and then find a arti based research legion (i am in my current legion temperarly but might stay in the arti perm or for a long time)
and then pvp agian to rank 80 and then freeze rank agian till i get a bunch of prisoners and bots preferably enough so i can easily install 5-8 of my heavy anti protons while still having space for atleast 4 mrk 3 quantums and atleast 4 Deep Core Neutronium Armor and 3 of my top reactors and 4 relays.
so the question is this.
should i just finish off the quantums and sensors and skip the gravshell and logistics for now?
and is this whole thing a good plan? like is it gonna be worth it.
and is the stuff i have good for my rank?

i'm not an expert, but i'll give my opinion

I've heard that 'freeze ranking' is horrible, so, maybe slow rank if you can (maybe pvp a bit til you got all %modules ? Avoiding any ship that's not laughables)

The goal is : have 5+ heavy antiprotons + 4 mrk (what are they?) + 3 quantums + 4 dc neutronium + 3 reactor + 4 relays

I think it will really depends on how long you will 'freeze rank' til you reach that goal? Meanwhile, you'll get a drawback from having less productive planets (if you slow rank).

Are you planning to get (or already got) 4 dom III, cipherbots, proteans ? (you already mentioned pvp, so I assume you already/planned get them.

also im trying to accomplish all this before i reach rank 100.

Freeze ranking before you can see any really good NPC elites and bosses and your personal arti production is at least 4K/hour is not what I would ever suggest, but good luck to you.

You'll be powerful compared to people who've been playing the game for 1 or 2 months ....except for all the other people who have reset and are sitting there with you slowly gaining resources and doing everything they can not to rank up as well.

I had 4 Dom IIIs in my cargo by rank 85 with singularity launchers and nexus armor, so your research is good, but you really shouldn't need to freeze to collect all the battle market mods before 100 ....all you need to do is play.

Good luck and happy hunting

*sniff* they grow up so fast... ^

Um, anyway. Freeze ranking is in every way inferior to slow ranking. Since freeze rankers go fast-stop-fast-stop you end up at the same rank, just with weaker stats than if you ranked normally.

Not sure what your AP/hr is, but I agree that freeze ranking shouldn't happen with those below 3k or 4k per hour. Take, for example, a rank 100 with 2k AP/hr vs a rank 200 with 4k AP/hr who both freeze for 2 weeks. The rank 200 will have 672,000 more AP than the rank 100 by the end of the week (and more research, too). By the time the rank 100 reaches rank 200, the rank 200 would have had even more of an AP difference between the two (assuming the 200 is able to freeze for so long).

I tried freeze ranking for about 2 days. It just wasn't my cup of tea. Still having said that, I don't think it is such a horrible idea. It all depends on your goals. Snap said very clearly he was, "also trying to accomplish all this before i reach rank 100." If that's the man's desire, then freezing is the best tactic to get him there.

the only reason I posted on this is because I saw the word 'critism' 'appreciated'

what you are doing looks pointless. and your res is not really that good considering your slow ranking for it??

I'll be blunt.
I would work on (If I were you), quit messing around and just forget about res...research stuff when you need it. and progress.

attack>defence>hull does not have to be in that order.....also structures helps. hell....don't stop everything just to res things thats stupid.

alright guys lol i think ill continue with what i have going on right now but thanks for your input
