Reciprocity isnt that good because ... well, you know what you get on the new holding?

Its a trait that requires the enemy to miss you, it works on some ships (escorts) but there are better traits out or will be anyway.

Actually, Krenoids aren't great. It's a measly 10%, which means even with 3, you'll only hit 30%. THIS IS INADEQUATE. You need a minimum of 33% to successfully chain EPTXen and as much as 50% to operate others powers. And that 20% is for lolground, so ignore it.

Only useful for ships tragic enough to not have A2B.
Aux2batt is actually an antipattern used by cash-deficient players. It is not actually good anymore.

A2B is still pretty good for most cruisers unless you're trying to beat dps records and it's kinda nice that it's not chance based like many other builds.

It's decent if you're trying to build a functional ship on a budget, mostly because it's free. If it cost me money to do, I wouldn't touch it.

In SIMILAR NEWS, once the server comes back on and I can get in, we will hold a SHAKEDOWN FOR VESPENE. The race is on. Don't miss it. WE REQUIRE MORE VESPENE GAS!

Dont you have a army of Deltards just for that? I never touched the 3 I made (2 KDF, 1 Fed) since this was going to come.

The entire point of a shakedown is to conserve my stock for when you losers don't bother to show up. Plus, do you schmucks want FC or not? I could just starve you all completely if you prefer.

Between things like Reciprocity, AHOD, and various doffs, it is now possible to emit pew at global or nearly so without having to sacrifice two of your boff powers and all of your aux powers to do it.

The catch? Doing such things is expensive and involves the willful destruction of various highly-expensive doffs. Aux2batt is cheap-as-free, but ultimately limits your potential.

So, peasants: Here's the plan: I have charted out an optimal-path production sequence aimed at completing the entire thing in 90 cycles. That's 75 days. Fed will pursue BLUE while KDF pursues YELLOW. However, due to limited supplies and production capacity on the Fed side, if I run out of vespene and cannot continue on the schedule, I'm going to concede defeat and focus efforts on where I can still win. SO YOU SUCKERS BETTER SHOW UP FOR SHAKEDOWN, or else it's never finishing because I'll pull out.

Not to mention people who don't show up, don't get FC, and don't get to buy shiny things. SHOW UP, SLAVES.

It's not exactly sacrificing all of Aux powers tho, just ~50% of the time you can use them (though some like Polarize Hull can be used at any time I think). After all, if you cycle perfectly you will have nearly your full Aux power, and you can just delay activating A2B a few seconds and get full power for Grav Well.

I think my 10 Feds have 3-5k FMs each not counting the Deltard.

Since my Feds are my mains, I think they should have some 200-250k FMs, but don't hold me to it. No idea how much the Klangs have. Also 1 Fed and 2 KDF derpa rectums with whatever free stuff they got. Maybe even a 2nd Fed, can't remember if i rolled her before or after Delta Raisin.

The build timetable shifts across the day, so eventually it will move into your timeslot. If we were doing it in a more relaxed way, it could permanently lock out of your timeslot, but since it will creep back 4 hours every day, it will eventually be in your slot.

Finally a use for all those overpriced spaceponies sitting around collecting dust! The tier better gives a rarity bonus...

You are gonna need a lot of space riches to buy that. I don't think I've ever seen you around, either. Who are you again?

Reshasis Verai, but I've been doing nothing but doing doff shit in the morning for the last couple of months.

Oh, you. You're still alive? I thought you died. When did you get 450M EC? Last I saw of you, you were new and space-broke.
