U can join Anomaly too. We have a level 6 that gives out research base with some artifact production. We share planets, give advice, share (give) artis, and minerals. If u feel that u want better mods, plantary structures, then come here and we will help u get a better ship!

Now, if I could only get more Android Helmsmen.... In all seriousness, if you feel that badly about your ship, then you can 1. get some cloak so that most people won't see you 2. freeze rank for a while in a legion that has an artifact base 3. reset and start completely from scratch, losing everything you have. If I had to pick from those, I would reset (kinda obvious, as I've done it twice....  ), but everyone has their own opinion on it. Freeze ranking is not a good idea (almost in any case), you limit your planet slots, and therefore production. Not quite the most interesting way to play GL either... Hack, wait 15 minutes, hack, wait 15 minutes, hit a QFT, use a null/wait 2 hours, open up 20 tabs, raid, etc. A better alternative would be to slow rank, and work on getting your badge items. If you find that PvPing is not possible or very inefficient, seeing you are at an early stage, I would take the drop and reset (contact Dan to enable to option again). If you do choose to reset, there are several paths to take, although you may want to get all your red/yellow/blue badge items before moving onto any particular path. I've reset twice myself, and can offer a few helping tips. If you don't have your questions already answered, feel free to PM me any of them, and I'd be glad to pitch in my thoughts. A list of possible paths and ways to approach it can be found at: viewtopic.php?p=309624#p309624 or viewtopic.php?f=3&t=30459Good luck. Freezing is actually more efficient that resetting. I considered resetting a whilst back, but I didn't, and now my ship is a beast if I may say so myself. All I did was slow down, made sure my planet slots were full of good planets and my ship recovered pretty much on it's own.

By rank 200 you "should" have figured out most of what you need to know in this game

All I did was slow down, made sure my planet slots were full of good planets and my ship recovered pretty much on it's own. It's mainly on production, if you have sub-1k productions (artifact, mainly), even a full year of freeze ranking will not get you too far, compared to what a full-on reset could do with some help. Of course, if he can get some help to push him back on track in production to the least, then yes, freeze ranking wouldn't be a bad choice at all. elerian wrote: depends on rank / race / production / but most important -> depends on the reason
I agree, it is weighted hugely on production, and most importantly on reason. I am assuming that the reason would be solid, to rebuild a ship, but the support for that from the rank/race/production might not be as solid without some help or work.
not necessarily better, but deffinatly more interesting, but it depends on your definition of slow
Sure, not necessarily better, but it does provide a handful of stats (some with +% success chances) which are some of the most efficient in the game. Does get a lot more difficult later on, however.

Resets give someone an extra chance to go through something you've never thought of before, an opportunity to solidify a personal "knowledge" basin of what to and what not to do. Without a general plan of what you have as goals, or what to set up for your reset, it is not a good idea. That can be substituted for by asking other people who've reset how they made themself so successful.

up till rank 100 or so i was in small legions (lv3). and my ship was preety bad behind on research as well as quite a bad rep. it take a lil bit of time but those can be improved if u put active effort in. i think turning ur self around will give u more satisfaction than a reset.
BUT if u have taken/colonized allot of bad planets. then yes reset now.

I would base it on how many bad planets you have. If they are fine and it is just you ship stats (since lower rank players hit laughable since it often means easier--not in higher rank), I would suggest in posting your ship numbers--specifically how have you used your rank points--how much value do you have in your ship from artifacts? If those are used well I would work on improving the game, since time does have a value if such things have already been used. Do you use traps? For sure post your ship details before you make such a decision. Most important include your production levels and research level for planets. Where is your research at, if it is too low you might want to join a research legion (include advertisement for our legion here  ). And yes go with a legion which gives you what you need via base production, help, and planet defence bonus. Remember if you want to pvp--hide under traps, save up energy cubes and artifacts, and then go on a run. Best way to do it, otherwise you are just trading 1/1 at best.
