Thank you very much I will be updating once I reach rank 700. Shouldnt take long as i managed to auto rank off npc's last night!

Finally just hit 10k TOs!

Pure engineers for a while now!

Rank 700!

Finally hit rank 700 and here is my current crew (currently in an energy build so I have slightly less defence)



Currently working on Engineers - managed to autorank a few ranks, but want to have at least 13:1 energy:rank ratio before adding TOs again.

Since my last update (Rank 678 - 19 days ago) I have added:
50 Decks
8700 Cargo
1112 Engineers
335 Tactical Officers
787 Helmsmen
750 Scientists

I have also gained:
22 Ranks
322 Hull (although I have taken 4x scythe platings and 2x Korteth Plating off of my ship - total of 2200 hull)
1905 Shields

Stats update:



Productions Update:



Not increase my APH as much as I would have liked in the past few ranks (only up by 2620 in 21 days)




Goals Update:

50k APH
Reach 35k Ship strength (will all normal defence modules on)
Decryption Senary-Frame Upgrades and Dominion Auto-Blasters upgrades- 2/4 Senary Frames, 1/4 Auto Blasters
Complete Mylarai and Zolazin Race specific medals - Once I finish my current talth project ill be working towards this!

Very nice ship! Just very recently passed over you in rank after 200 ranks of autoranking. I trail your attack by about 3k, but have about 2k more energy than you. I have 10 less planets colonized here, and have not had much time with Talth yet, and trail you by ~7k AP. Keep it up!

After 19.2k NPC kills ive finally found Caelon!

Congratulations. It took me about 1k kills from the time I started hunting to find Caelon.

Took me less than 500 NPC to find the larva

I didnt spend all those NPC kills searching for Caelon, probably only about ~3k of them



Ok you beat me there! I found the Larvae quite early as well, shame Caelon wasnt as easy to find!

I still haven't found the larva.

Right I have a question for you guys:

Should I use a load of ship bots in my cargo to add enough decks so I can install more defence modules?

I would need approx. 512more decksto get what a want.

Should I?

No, because be adding decks you increase your damage cap. You can get loads of defenses with you Android Helmsmen If you add decks, make it attack/scan/cloak

i say go for it personally, also iisn'tthere some sort of arti that improves a standard defense item? that wouldn't work on helmsman, but you could add enough decks to install 1 defense item and then stack all of those artis on it

This was my other thought, atm im participating in a legion war and im being hacked quite a bit!

Cheers for your input!

And Elerian has a point too-



So a fully upgraded Trans-Entropy Drive - Mark III will give you 1640 defense for 102 space

And you can upgrade another one to 50%, giving you 1230 defense

already got 4 trans entropys installed perm and got the upgrades.

Just hit a milestone - 10k energy!

Rank 755 update:

I can now auto rank and have been doing so quite a bit, i try to npc daily but I have not really got time for it.

Crew:



Added a lot of engineers and now have a 13x Energy:Rank ratio. Started re-adding TOs again

Since my last crew update (Rank 700 - 27 days ago) I have added:
29 Decks
5 Cargo - clicked this by accident!!
1911 Engineers
476 Tactical Officers
1031 Helmsmen
1501 Scientists

I have also gained:
55 Ranks
4205 Hull
1540 Shields

Stats:




Productions:

Mining: 13151
Artifact: 45600
Research: 17668

Productions have again not increased as I would have liked but never mind! APH is up another 3k in 27 days.

I am researching Dimensional Logistics atm.

Goals Update:

50k APH
Reach 30k Ship strength (again)
Decryption Senary-Frame Upgrades and Dominion Auto-Blasters upgrades- 2/4 Senary Frames, 2/4 Auto Blasters

I've double your shield strength and 2.5k+ on hull (still have yet to get kalvium platings ). Really great progression, I've also been adding a pure energy build until I reach 15x my rank, broke 10x my rank already.

Just caved and used 700+ ship bots - I now have a ship with a fat ass
