I expect to be mocked...

However I am curious at how I'm doing at building my realm...


I do not believe it is against the rules to post my own stats, and for my protection I have blacked out ranks and names to prevent anyone from actually finding me, though I'm certain any determined person could.




I am well aware of the fact that I'm not at all "powerful" but I want to see how my general scheme stacks up, if it's even noticeable...

Re: I expect to be mocked...

From what I understand 9mill/day is fairly low, what kind of enhancements to the upper 1k tend to have in this area?

Re: I expect to be mocked...

I have a few questions before I will offer advice.
How long have you been playing?
How do you typically use your turns?
What model player are you?

I ascended well over a year ago(started playing main in august of '05), but then I went on extended hiatus from the game overall and only logged in to ascension a few times, so I've only been "active" for a couple of months when you add it all up.


I usually keep my turns holed up due to the slower regen than in main, so I can use them for combat, though I am taking previous advice into consideration and plan to farm for dmu.


As for a model, I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but lets put it this way:

I ascended one time, and one time only...this is not due to lack of capacity so much as the desire to see how far I can go on the minimum amount of resources/advantages.

Typically I play a "soldier" role fairly well, before the fall of the SLA I had one of the highest UPs in the alliance and used it to power a very fast recovery rate as well as my pre-ascension rank 50ish mothership(+/- a few ranks depending on the day). In ascended I have generally the same idea, though I intend to focus on a heavy Ascended being.

That is, of course, assuming I do not again find myself losing interest and wandering.

Deascention is impossible on an active account, you need to be going 100% growth oreiented. Burning thos turns to farm and using the resources to promote growth, in turn increasing your income.

never train more then your willing to lose.

Re: I expect to be mocked...

I see, though it is a sort of relief...that's also slightly disappointing...

I had hoped it had become somewhat more cutthroat... :(

Re: I expect to be mocked...

No matter how expensive fleets & charisma get for you, know that many have been there and done it before and will say for example "it could be worse, you could be paying 466,404,400,000 for you next additional fleet" (I'm trying to catch you big guys, no laughing at my little 530,000 fleets :D )

Question needs revising, I doubt there are 1000 actives on the server who play for more than just logging in to stop being descended

Re: I expect to be mocked...

Lore is referring to charisma and cosmic expansion fleets when he recommends growth oriented stats. It is the same principal that you were using in SLA only the numbers are much greater on ascended.

Farming is a must. Only regenerate your turns to max if you have a specific use for 2k turns all at once. The lower your rank the faster they regenerate.

Model player is a reference to defense oriented, aggresive, alliance builder. That kind of thing.

:roll:
That price looks like a good deal to me. But it is nothing to laugh at.
