So, a while ago I reset, and have done very well, at least imo. However, I would like to see what everyone else thinks of my ship, and what I should do to make myself better.

I'm not going for an ssb, so don't tell me to do one. I believe they are crutches, much like Sillix or the Builder profession

have to disagree that ssbs are a crutch. they are a pita that pays off later on. basically the exact opposite.

any modules you dont have installed?
what are your productions like?
how long since you reset?
how often do you rank up?
where are you in shields and planetary structures?

I've finished +10s in planetary construction, and should be almost done with obviation barriers soon. Sadly, my arti production is low, but I'm trying to fix that by selling 2 of my 17x plasmas, to get enough ctp for at least one or two good arti planets. It seems my scanning luck has followed me from before my reset.
I believe I've been resetted for about 4 months now? And I rank up rather sporadically, but I would say on average, I rank maybe every 3-4 days. Not in the rank of slow ranker.

My mining is decent, and I make enough to pay off my upkeep each day three times over at least.

Research is around 3500

The only module I don't have installed is my cipherbot, I've been trying to figure out what to drop and what to add.

well of thats all thats not on you are missing some npc mods that could be helpful.
res is good, but thats obviously going to fall off alot.

are you doing decks by bots only?

I am now. I worked on decks purely for a while, but rescued prisoners would go to officers and a few engineers. I'm still working on npc mods, but I think I need to drop down to the Sith Acolytes for awhile, since there are more people in my rank range, so more npc alerts.

May not be a bad idea. However, if your arti is low, it'd be better for you to stay at TSL to make up for shipments. I'm at the acolytes currently to help out while researching base stuff to be able to donate to TSL base.

Hahaha, you really need a thread for this?

i won't ever hit your ship, and 90% of the time your on my battle tab, your ship scares me.

Yeah I do need a thread. My ship is pretty good, but not good enough. I hit people and they hit me back for close to the same amount. That is unacceptable. Granted, they run out of hull well before I do, but I would rather it didn't come to that.

yea ive tried to disable you but i ran out of hull... (I am upgrading to heavy nulls at rank 85 so maybe then i can kill you)

You need more defence so get that up to make that acceptable

unfortunately given the distinction of RP based legions what it takes to make a "good" ship at low levels has become blurred in terms of what you have accomplished as opposed to what you did accomplish. A while ago something could be said for slow ranking at the start to get your research higher than other people, but now that is thrown out the window and vyogoid is an antiquated piece of code. Regardless I always found a good benchmark for rank 100 was 1k/1k with around 3k hull for any hardcore PvPer, meet that and you wont be doing bad. not best by a long shot, but not bad.

**edit -> 1k/1k without racial bonuses, and 3k hull without fixer...

Want really paying attention to race befor. You aren't really using that arlen boost well.

I'm trying, but I can't add more defense with no room. That's the catch-22

Exactly my feelings, I kick both of you off my BT as often as I can and run away.

In all honesty I think you should reset again..

You are doing good, I would suggest increasing your engineers though, at Rank 100 I had 850, the only reason I say this is as you start seeing bosses etc you will need the energy to lock them, and I would think your energy bar wouldnt be too big atm?

I would also suggest changing to Konqul excavator, yes you will loose some hull, but the extra artis are nice

From our run in, I can say you've a really nice ship. Almost as good as mine at your rank. Keep up the good work!

I've got 5k hull now without the fixer bonus, so that shouldn't be too bad at all.


Thanks Dexter
