dont make the noob mistakes i did
first off you can not get anywhere in this game un ascended
so dont work on up at all (besides geting it to 999)
covert and assassin techs go away each ascencion.... dont bother past 32 or 33
planets are usless untill you get to the higher ascencions there too expensive to defend (if there worth defending)
mother ship is your friend
the slots stay when you ascend so if i was you id put any excess funds into that
you wont need much army to get into g and r range... a blind monkey could do it i recomend not training any miners but raiding just enough to get you into g and r, log out check your acount once a week
since you have barley any uu theres no need to give them to a friend just ascend
thats what i did when i made the acc i had before my current account it worked fine for me

Yea farm lots into MS as it will become key to keeping rank further on
Also get in an alliance , it helps

Alliances are over-rated. If you do exactly what EAT THE WATERMELON said then whether you are in an alliance or not you will still ascend in the same amount of time and same amount of (little) activity. There's nothing to say that joining an alliance will help. Also, picking the wrong alliance can set you back even more.

wars are great for ascending and practice, easier rank, easier naq, easier uu, you can get all of your gr points on ppt, and enough to cover the ones you lose on nox/crit when you are off..so its perfect for the 2 weeks ascending...plus alliances will help you with turns and extra naq.

Focus on your ascension requirements. Build what you need for the next ascension in terms of UP, or guarantee you've got the resources to build it whenever you're ready to ascend.

I played with 26. Don't bother buying any higher covert levels. 28 is cheap and might help with raiding/farming but is really unnecessary. You'll need 2m spies to keep 80B covert, and with one round of UU sales you'll have an MS sufficiently equipped to get you to that GnR ranking.

Take covert and/or attack planets as is. Investments are a waste.

Excess? ALL of your funds.

If you're lazy, that might be fun. I recommend going to Pergatory and raiding up to 55m AS in a matter of hours. When you're kicked out Pergatory, find a buyer who can clean your UU out for a fair price. Invest the Naquadah in your Mothership.

Yes.

No wonder you're complaining. You get 16k free ATs per week. Use them and your boredom will go away.

My only advice is Be Active and Farm like Hell.
Move into an alliance, don't Participate to WARS.
Send the NAQ to one trusted player, who will not need 200T..

With That Amount you could buy a decent Ascended Account. Maybe with a little help from Alliance, that 200Tril could become 400Tril.

Who knows.
From there you have more options.. What to do.. to where..
NO PPT helps a lot if you use your 3 Market Turns generating AT's.

I've got the impression most of what I just said went over your head?
What you need is a good mentor, like I've got.
