I'm not willing to pay GP to execute that trick all the time. Instead, I simply won't do 45 missions. After mapping out all of them, most of them are marginal module rewards or crew that I can get from AP. NPC slots and a couple other things are on my to-do list, but it's not worth the horrible XP to see the assassin (although I don't think it would affect me as much with all the mission npcs I still have active). It was carefully planned to maximize long term planet drop farming, which is my sole purpose in GL these days.

there is bunch of missions where you get free race changes... zolazin/genetarr for instance...

someone mentioned some others but i dont really know which ones...


*so i have some 1500 ranks to finish the game... dos not sound soon tho... :)))

That's the only one I know of , and since I am keeping zolazin spawns around, I have 2 glaviz devices and I have used one. That may be the only solution for someone that's already done all the missions, but then doesn't it disable all your module benefits ?

You can finish the missions way before 1700, but I was mostly NPC farming. I don't even recommend finishing all the missions since some have horrible XP AND rewards like the XTS chain, but it was for the sake of having completed stuff that I spent extra energy on it. Now I am strictly going for efficient ranking.

Binaryman, how you not end up with outranking your research? with that kind of speed of leveling?

Because high rank = lots of planet slots = high RP/AP. In a sense you do outrank your tech level, but also you only need to grow attack at sqrt(rank) to maintain a given xp ratio, due to how NPC health is calculated, and how NPC defense and damagecap cancel out. Right now I am "overteched" for rank 206, and I haven't even fit all 8 weapons yet, so I've got room to grow.

Yeah I am running only high efficiency and low repair cost special defense mods, just like last time. But really I am attack focused, as that determines your xp ratio on killing npcs. Set of dark complex thrusters, then soon now that I can see it, utricles.

attack = 3100 with most buffs. No race bonus. Kind of stuck until I get some more bots.
