How do I properly support my ship's upkeep?
I am a level 67 and am finding that I am hemorrhaging funds due to my upkeep.
It is over 200m a day.

Downsize your ship until you have a better income. Too many people try to build big and fail the finances when they should be mining big and building according to what they can afford.

Selling artifacts can support it, particularly nanodrones, shield restorers, quantum flares, dark pyramids, and ancient crystal foci. Shield amplifiers and a few others can be sold as well, but otherwise you won't get the pure mining production (unless you go crazy on maxxed toxics) to support a good ship for at least one hundred ranks or so.

Yeah. Mining planets are your new best friend. Focus solely on those until you can balance your upkeep. Also. It's better to max out on a certain level of ATK or DEF module than to have a mix of light, medium and heavy. Don't move up a tier until you're ready financially.

Remember that hes still such a low level that he will be getting mostly the cheap, low level minerals. He could probably take his max of 17 mining planets and still have problems making upkeep. OT: It seems like you would have to be in a research legion to get upkeep that high at your level. Switch to an artifact legion and sell any consumable artifacts you aren't using.

Dont focus on mining planets only. Thats terrible advice. The only thing that matters in this game is artifact production. Scale down your researched modules and use the cheaper ones and spend the planet slots on artifact and not crappy mining.

The best thing to do is sell/agree to sell once completed a limited edition mission artifact to a higher level in exchange for XXbil credits.

I bought and sold on GTC until my mining production caught up with my upkeep... Depending on what times of day you can get online as to how good of deals you can get.

In any legion with a range of ranks (like my own), there are players who can help you out until mining becomes more... efficient.
