Hi, I'm currently rank 261 and slowly and quickly reaching rank 300, im looking at buffing my production and my ship strength beforehand,
My current stats are
Minerals 2921 units / hour
Artifacts 4186 points / hour
4004 research / hour
Is this number enough for rank 300 ships or do i need alot more?

You always need more.

I don't know about the average around your rank though.

Im rank 257 and production is
Minerals 3732 units / hour
Artifacts 6196 points / hour
5622 research / hour
So better than yours...

I am level 288 kronyn excavator

mineing 3730
artifact 8844
research 6808

I think you probably already suspect it, but your productions are on the low side.

Everyone is different of course, but I think you're probably at least 1000 short of where you'd like to be on all three.
I'm not going to post my stats at that rank, but feel free to PM me if you like.

If you could try to double them all over the next 40 ranks or so, I think you'd be in better shape moving towards 300.
As always, more is always better and increasing your artifact production as much as you can would be great.

I'm not sure where you are with planet structures, but if you haven't done +12s yet, then I suggest making that a priority.
Same with CT Lab Structures, NPC arti drops and any missions that can help improve your productions, like the orbital stabilizers or adaptive spires.

Best of luck and happy flying.
