whats the best use of these exceptional artifacts.. im thinking its time to start saving them up and waiting until i have a much much higher arti production(currently at 22K/hr).

I have no need of any more research atm, or mining, both of those are well enough off that i dont need the extra from the caches.

Wait for 50k or more
ap per hour.

I just save them until something really important comes up, like when we attacked Dysonia. If you get to something critical like that, where every bit could help, then use them, otherwise just save them.

basically as long as u can cap in 8hrs or less that would be the best way of using them, but yeah i'm guessing when it get's to 50k it starts gettin real good going by what pony said.

I save them for special occasions. The most recent was this timed mission with drops that upgrade standard defense mods. When I had 10 bio-stabilizers, I sold all four exergonic inverter III's and three of my trans-entropy drive III's, upgraded the remaining defense 100%, then bought four exergonic III's and three trans-entropy III's. Selling them then buying them again cost 20 billion credits and 600 aidonium. I didn't have enough on hand, so I used a cache and was able to do it.

you could have just sold the exergonics and saved yourself a ton of creds, the 10% sread vs. 10% single comes out to the same thing...

That is fine until new defenses come out. If so, odds are you've wasted all of them arties vs now when you may be able to keep at least one of them installed while upgrading the other 2 or 3.

In retrospect, I see how you're right. But I like to see a 100% upgraded one and a 50% upgraded one. I used a cache because I wanted to upgrade defenses straight away and didn't have the resources right then. I COULD have waited, but I didn't want to.

I used a couple caches when I fought their base.
