i agree why get a bigger ship if your current ship can do the job and smaller repair costs my protector is under 60mil power and can do all my stuff and in early g5 fed space so skipping the g4 epic maybe il go for a g5 ship when im there tho it can change by then i do want a pilum tho but then again is it worth getting when you can max it at 250 wr not able for deep g5 faction space i can do the freebooters 50 system

The issue as I see it is your not high enough to max the cube, I have seen a few videos from 61+ plus players where they use the cube extensively up until that point everyone says it's lower power than their best ship - which is the way scope advertised the cube. It isn't supposed to be your main ship but a ship you can use along side your main. For me it does exactly what it was described as and gives you some good researches while not costing much to tier up. Personally I put it in the same bracket as the Vidar as something you need to be tiering up as you go and doing the research as they become available.
@CaptJackSpade2 ай бұрын
Cube isn't good until tier 13+, still the faction ships of equal ops/power are better, scopely and their content creators shills billed ship as the best ship in your fleet, even they have come off those statements. Mine didn't become usefully until tier 15

I understand what you meant by not letting the alliances pvp against each other, the alternative would be go against your alliance maybe and lose against your rotarran every time and as a result not finish the event. That's just making the money buy the ships and therefore the event and no amount of crewing is going to make g4 epic beat a g5 epic. We were lucky as the incursions were on at the same time as the territory capture, so we went onto the opposition server and did some damage to their tc event, job done in fairly quick time. I can't put as much money into the game as you do but I do learn from your crewing tips, so thank you for those👍

thanks, I'm working on my Enterprise D now, I don't plan to move up to 61 until there are massive changes in the 6 star economy or runout of stuff to upgrade, I'll have all of my Negh'Var prints in about 4 wks, I have of half of them now. No fun to have the ship if you can't even afford the repair bills and speed ups for the ship. Scopely will have to make changes, too many 6 star players leaving the game or playing like high tiered 60's now. I plan to tier my Rotarran to 9, build and tier my Enterprise D to the same and then tier out the Rotarran, then exhaust every research at 60 and upgrade every non-specialty building to 60, before I even think of moving up. I reached the goal and the ship I wanted when I started the game, so I'm in no hurry.
@tomb42710 ай бұрын
@@CaptJackSpade Very smart, I jumped to lv61 a month ago and still wish I was at 60. I too started the game for the Rot, way back when they started the game and the Brel was the only thing like the real bird of prey, so I 100% understand the feeling when that ship pops out of the ship yard. Been killing reds in the Haz systems for awhile now and T9 was costing me 11b tri a run with 4 runs a day. The tri costs isn’t that bad, but the warp time really stinks and the highways don’t open up until lv64. So, I am camping until I have 8 million of the new tri saved and I could consider jumping to lv62. I also have the unc ship, went Rom due to firing pattern, but no point in building it as you will need to kill lv64 reds. The G5 epics stop being useful at lv65 reds…so, yeah they really messed up the game costs on this last round.
