Account advice...

For newcomers to ask questions to the other users... this section will usually answer most questions... requesting resources (naq/UUs/ATs) is not to be done here...

Account advice...

I have an account that has one more ascension until AG and I'm looking for advice on a good break point to work on other account assets such as MS or planets before focusing on ascensions again. Also looking for ascended advice.

I have a 200k raw wep and shields ms with only 40k fleets. Currently working on getting to 500k raw up (232k)

My ascended account has all 900 personal levels and 1400 physicals except for charisma (900) and production at 1500. I'm currently working on getting to 1M fleets (at 600k). My CS has 2M weps and shields. I've got 14T cache and 137T still converting. 46,600 M2 Stargate with 764k mass and 32.2M energy stockpiled.

Any input would be helpful! Thank you for looking!

Re: Account advice...

First and foremost if you're still ascending, I'd avoid building more UP than necessary - same with covert levels. I'd invest in getting your ascensions done and pumping naq into your MS (you could also supplement your UP/income with planets).

I guess the main question I have is where do you want to take your account? Do you have specific goals, or are you just looking to make it stronger?

Re: Account advice...

My goal is to finish all ascensions but would like to also make it much easier for myself to obtain the required resources to do so. Would it be beneficial to strengthen my MS now or later? I know it is costly to do so.

Re: Account advice...

MS slots are permanent, so it's always advisable to add to them when you get the chance.

I'm actually working on finishing my ascensions myself - I have a spreadsheet totalling the naq amounts I'll need to rebuild after each one, and make sure I farm that within the 14 day rest period that is enforced after AG. Once I'm ahead of what I need for the next level, I direct that into my MS. UU you don't need to worry much about given how easy raiding is these days.

Re: Account advice...

I'll keep that in mind. As far as planets go, I have some decent planets that add 170k up and sets me at 60b/turn. All income or UP planets. Should I build them to a certain amount each or leave them as is? My UP planets are below 60k each and income range from 200b to 600b each.

Re: Account advice...

Building up the income planets will help a bit towards your ascension costs - but make sure you won't end up with too high an income when you're offline. UP there's not much point while you're only needing a small UP for ascending - you want to be getting the full benefit of the planet (up to 50% of raw UP).

Personally, I like to try and keep planets roughly even (100k, 200k UP & 100bil, 200bil income), but that's because I like being a little OCD :P

Re: Account advice...

It all depends how you play, if you PPT 4 days a week you could boost your income planets to 1t, still small enough that they're probably small enough not to get stolen but pay themselves back pretty quick. You just have to deal with being farmed the other 3days a week.

But in my opinion if you're still ascending you shouldn't PPT and just spend as much time as you can farming, keep a low army and just raid what you need for ascension when you need it. RAW UP is always a bad investment, especially when you're ascending.

Re: Account advice...

Gotcha, I'll probably start off investing in my planets, my UP is already good enough. The naq that I have banked should get them all to goal stats. Should I also farm DMU and build fleets?

Re: Account advice...

Definitely build fleets, your charisma is in a pretty good spot there.

Re: Account advice...

A good rule of thumb is to have all personals at least 900 while physicals at least 1500.

What to do first is really up to you. A lot of people like upgrading their TOC. The best way to do that is to utilize the "optimize TOC" on your powerup screen.

Re: Account advice...

Well it's been over a year since I originally posted this.... Looking for more advice as I'm getting closer to my current goals.

Account updates would include:

Main -
Ascended 2 more levels
Started building up planets for quicker builds
700K total UP (300K raw)
A large stockpile of 110K turns. LOL
COV levels 35/29

Ascended -
Personals all 900 (Except Attack Skill/Level @ 1000)
Physicals all 1500 (Charisma @ 1000)
719,100 Fleets (957,122,100 planet / day)
Mass - 849,954
Energy - 75,046,342
M2 Stargates - 84,300
15.6Q CS

What should I be focusing more on at this point in the game, besides ascending on my main account? Any feedback would be great. :-D

Re: Account advice...

Thanks Clockwork, maybe I should stop spending time on these wreckages... Rank 1 for turns spent and top 10 for mass/energy gains. Terrible... lol

Agreed.

I good baseline is to get your CEF (Cosmic Exploration Fleets) to at least 1 mil. This will assist in a faster recovery if you have to "war"
