Just a tip of a glitch I found in the game, if you have plans of invading a really good planet by using a crimson Obilisk and an ancient foci, fallowed by completions of the weapons test mission(which is suppose to increase your attack another 25%) dont bother. I just did so damaging my weapons and did not recieve the extra 25% attack bonus. it showed up in my ship stats, but not in my numbers. just thought I let everyone know if anyone ever thought of that combination.

Yes, I know, I am complaining, and I hear lots of small violins, but this really sucks, I expected my chance for invasion to be another 20% higher...it sucks. ion storm, orbital disrupture, bio vaporizer, mutagenic cartliages, styll pathogen, and acouple other artifacts gone.

strange.... i thought that mission increased it by a set amount (flat 25), not by a percentage...

go to the ships tab, and view your stats, and view your current effects to see whether it's saying 25 or 25% there

ahhh, it is +25...not 25%, well that explains why my math was so far off then.

on a positive note, you can do the mission several times for multiple +25's on you all at the same time

same goes for the mission that gives a small defense buff (and is there one that gives a small cloak buff? i forget)

yeah, I used 4 crimson cluster missles and my attack was over 3000, so the 25+ attack is costly to my weapons and a drop in the bucket compared to my total attack, though I do feel strong for my rank though, just over rank 160 and can get my attack over 3000, cant wait to see my attack at rank 300 at this rate, but I also know that my attack will not continue to grow at a linear pace considering you ship standard weapons max is 8 weapons...then all the other npc and special wepons included afterwards.

Musta been a pretty juicy planet to burn 4 clusters and a matched set of pathogens on it...

............... nice name ripper like the first part of it to. Soul good starting name .
