Your artifact production needs to go right up. Mine is "lacking" at 3x yours.

You have really few decks. Perhaps that's deliberate. Perhaps not. I would recommend getting more, but by no means do you have to.

Your cargo is puny thanks to your lack of artifact production. Once again, artifacts are king.

I'd upgrade the Mk1 tech to Mk3 tech.

Your hull could use some work.

Some of the modules you have installed are really inefficient. You could do better with other techs.

This in particular. Ditch the Confinement Chambers and/or leave them as artifacts and install another Neutronium armor.

I have never commented on one of these threads but since I am only 1 rank above you I thought it may help.

most of my time in game was spent in a level 4/5 research base. For the past 20 ranks i have been in a level 6 (recently 7) artifact base.
I feel my arti production is ok although i want it much higher and others my rank do have it much better. Unfortunately with the addition of 8 heavy nulls and some heavy pvp I need more mining planets first.

what is your highest researched def modules at? Bm50s are good at low levels and then again at really high levels when you have the best stuff already installed. But it doesn't take long before researched mods are better and they should be replaced.

I would say get your resource production way up, install more efficient modules and if you can join a legion with high artifact production. Wish I did that sooner.

at rank 123 i have all 8 light null rays and all 5 hull modules. you may want to work on that.

Drop the tetra's until you are hitting a base, they are basically useless for anything else, this can let you put guns on

Your researched defenses have a higher ratio than Convoy Shuttles. I recommend removal of the Rift Shield and Convoy Shuttles and installation of another Trans-Temporal Nacelle. I would - personally - replace the Parser with a Stryll Sensor as well and put those decks towards another defense.

Okay, did that- thanks, it does help...
