The donation ones are the by far the quickest if you find them, ...
I did see one, but I had no idea what it did so I passed it up.
Obvious point - they cost! If you've only just got enough money for an M6, you might want to leave it. Not sure how much you'd require at the stage you're at, but I'd guess hundreds of thousands if not millions of credits.
I have about 38 Million at the moment - total of 5 factories. The reason I want to raise my ranks is that I need to if I want to buy the Teladi Osprey.
My brother went and bought the Argon Centaur already, and mounted around 6 mass drivers on it. I think the ammo is a little expensive to use on pirate harriers.
Personally, I'd actually suggest concentrating on building your empire. Either get a load more UTs - a fleet of UTs jumping round makes you lots of cash and with a lot of them (20+) they also improve your race ranks quite a lot (20 ships trading raises it 20 times faster than 1).
I think I will. I lost one UT, I may get a couple more. I've been trying to think of what factory to get next - I have a one Ore mine and two Silicon mines, BoFu and an SPP (I was amazed that it makes 500 something energy every cycle!)
Or stations. Pick the right ones and/or set the prices right and all the NPC trades/CAG sales will again, boost cash and rank.
I've spent a while tweaking my prices to something that works - for the silicon mine, the sell price is 480, because anything more and it doesn't get sold quick enough. I think I may want another SPP - In the systems surrounding Argon Prime there's still a huge demand, most of the factories will still pay 19 for energy. Had the idea of setting up a complex to supply the SPP. Set up an SPP & Crystal Fab and connected them. Problem: No left over energy. Yes, it was a closed loop, but it didn't produce any end products! I reloaded, needless to say : |
>Hope that helps
It does! Thank you.
