Currently researching next tier scanners for scanning run, currently upgrading platings and trying to get last thruster
still working towards getting all dom cannons mrk3's and nearly got my last protean armoury.

2440 cargo
170 Engineers
201 Tactical officers
250 Helmsmen
702 Scientists

when current installation targets are met points will go back into TO's until equal with Helmsmen then will be split 2:1:1:1 on decks to engineers, TO's and helmsmen! Currently working on mylarai chain and will change to that when i unlock it!
Any ideas of what else i should look towards doing?

Raise your scan up to 50 so you can see T.O troop carriers.No rank points in helmsmen!

ok, thanks, i had not thought of that being an issue... why no rank points into helmsmen?

Don't put rank points into helmsmen, because you get them from arti pulls.You only put rank points into deck(till you have like 2000 decks) and then TO's And Engineers

ok, so don't put anymore into To's or engineers until got 2k decks? or split?

Get your final defense then go back to putting rank points into crew.

ok, thanks for the great advice!
Anyone else?

more decks. I'm rank 205 with 1935 decks (Konqul Fixer), i suppose that one should add decks until around 3000 decks, i plan on stopping when i have 5x shields modules installed and let shipbots push the rest.

ok so i need to get more decks, currently inceasing ap which should help also getting more from base drop!

bump, any more suggestions? Anything which really needs attention?

Stop adding rank points to decks at 2000 or a little bove that and just be patient and rely on ship bots for the rest- bobs advice is not to stop growing your ship- but instead to just use the natural artis to boost the stats they can- and use the rest (prisoners and rankpoints) to boost the stats that are otherwise limited by no art items

rank 212 all unbuff

Size Class: Massive Leviathan
Space: 1879 / 1879
Attack: 4406
Defense: 5107
Scan: 166
Cloak: 295
Cargo: 7487.2 / 10250
Upkeep: 696.6M
Konqul: Attack +20%
Excavator: Artifact +10%

Minerals 2109 units / hour
Artifacts 7101 points / hour
Production: 3587 research / hour

i already stop increase my deck using rank points, all in TO just rely on ship bots to increase my deck since i have 8 weapons, 5 hulls, 8 def, 3 reactors and 4 relays installed

have you done the mission exotic/dyson, or do you just have a huge arti production for your rank?

tbh i have mission exotic and dyson that give me 2k arti/h

ok, that seems more reasonable, so production wise i am not a huge deal off, looks like i could do with slow ranking though, what do you think? also would you say that the mission exotic and dyson are worth the money they cost?

yup u are not far behind in production. about the dyson it is totally worth it, not to mention some mining+research boost. i only take artifact planet that can give me above 120/h artifact production at this rank i would go level up as usual just to take more planets

what attack and def tech have you got installed?
