Thoughts or advice on how I am doing?

The stats are all unbuffed.

you test results have come back . You have Chrominick Nano's , they have spread across your ship . There is nothing we can do I'm sorry.

Productions?

And stop adding decks. Ship bots only.

Should maybe get some engineers.

Also no idea what you actually have installed.

Not bad so far...you just need to take it to the next lvl..

Not sure if you are very active player or not..but if you are very active drop mylarie its a waste of time and change ur race to Konqul Excavator since you can afford ur upkeep..

Konqul bonuses = Stealing planets, pvp, npcing..Lots of fun..plus planet data optimizers,terraformers,rescued scientist,elites=ctps, badges,medals and helping ur legion members out..

Excavator= 10% artifact production= more prisoners, helsman, hull and shields since they are low..

Do the mission where you can make ur irradiated planets x18 ( forget the name of it) by hunting Harvesters and ur mineral intake will increase very fast..= better weapons and other ship mods..
Priority #1 get more energy modules.. more energy=more fun..
Priority #2 artifact planets
Priority #3 increase ur scan and cloak
Priority #4 Stop adding decks with ur points use the ship bots only..

Its just my opinion..hope it helps..

Edit:

Short goal: get ur attack unbuffed as a Konqul min 10k and def 12k
Long goal: Mineral production 18+, artifact production 25k+, reserch production 20k+ (you can always cash in ur reserch production for credits down the road)

Hope I did not set up the bar to high but by rank 600 you should be there..Good luck..

he gets 8.2k research, 7.7k mining, and 8.5k artifact per hour.

I havent used a point in decks for 30 ranks.

I rushed to 3k decks then stopped there

Have you started the talth chain ?

Show us what u have installed on your ship.

Here's my ship and stats, rank 406.



And i know i'm behind in research so i don't need anyone criticising me about it, i know what i am doing and what i want to do. I'm just comparing my stats to TheCombe.

Oh yeah forgot to post my ship, i'll get it up in a sec.

I am adding Tac Officers and Engineers with rank points.

Moving to Trans Entropy IIIs in 2 or so days + switching back to Konqul Excavator after my scan run.

Your defence is good but you need more attack and energy

Just for reference,

@ rank 400 i had about 2200 Engineers
and about 7.5k unbuffed attack

now at 550 i have 4k engineers
and about 9400 unbuffed attack-which is still pretty low.

Was curious as to see what people in the 400+ range would have, figured i'd share my tin can's specs.



Energy is with relays off but pulsars and ions equipped. I know my ap is low but i've 3-4 good art planets on scan and will invade those shortly.



All ship tech is done, just dumping rp aimlessly into dim logs, which will take a few weeks to get done.

Hope this helps you and others in setting/reaching your goals.

Yay, d**k comparing party
