My research is obvious as I have the best modules on I have researched, also have obviation barriers

485 medals. Close to 1000 kills and 25 million research, so auto blasters will be coming soon as I will be going on a PVP run.

Any thoughts, feedback or advise appreciated.

sorry to bust balls but you seem to be the pretty average pvp player in that rank range

if yo have not completed +12 planet research do yourself a favor and get it done, after that its really up to you, I finished off whatever required least research wich if memory serves, is hull plating

Future advice >> thetas are nice but if you need to skim on upkeep to help yourself nothign wrong with antiprotons, difference of 864 attack, but ~2B upkeep difference, and 64 deck spaces, if you are going for a MSB

I'd recommend skipping thetas entirely, use heavy nulls until you have the mp for heavy quasis.

Don't listen to this. Heavy quasis are FAR overpriced for the tiny attack jump.

And Thetas aren't?

+, you'll eventually want quasis anyways, havoc coils and stuff, so no reason to pay for both thetas and quasis.

Heavy thetas arent the most reasonably priced, but they're worth it imo. I myself have spoken with several of my higher ranked friends, and weve all agreed on heavy thetas being the best candidate to upgrade with havoc coils. The 4x upkeep on quasis simply isn't worth the 1k attack, despite them being the most efficient.

I posted for honesty and advice, you're not busting my balls.
when you say pretty average, are you taking into account the fact I only had 2 antiprotons on? I drop the cloak and maybe 300 def and I can add 2k attack or so. Not that it really matters as I PvP is still pretty easy for me.

Forgot to mention, that of course I have +12 structures. Researching Nulls right now. As for my ship build, I am saving bots for Anubix and then they will go into decks until I have at least 4000. No interest in a MSB, don't care if I get disabled a bit more often

Honestly I'd also recommend Thetas for it. The quasis are extremely cost heavy for the relatively small increase in total attack once you're at the level where you can support their upkeep (and the added upkeep for havoc coils).

Just got the medal, back in my day. Although reset my ship so more like 350 days in. How do you think I am doing?

Currently got 41/90 Silthion hybrid drones, so Geminis coming soon. After that my plan is to get Sehrin and 6 NPC slots prior to the seasonal NPCs. Trying to get to a stage where I can auto rank, pretty much on 10 energy to rank right now but it will be going up when I stop hunting NPCs.

Researching the very final energy reactors. Finished shield, hull and scanners, got the final level for most other things to go.
