What to buy? Which is better?

[r_GaIaxy2 8,611]

I currently have two hulls that are M0: Hornet and Viking.  Which hull should I upgrade first for my rank?

P.S.  I have about 23,600 crystals as of now.

Viking M1 and Rico M1 at sale

Depend on your weapon(s) and fighting style/maps. Viking would be cheaper, Hornet would be more standard. and Hunter is 6K crystals away :).

Generally I suggest a better weapon before a better hull. Don't buy nothing till the May sale no matter what, unless some beautiful kit comes along at a super cheap price.  Ask here again in a few days, or on May sale day.

Not possible, Anvil kit at his rank is 70 k @_@

I barely had 10k at that rank :lol:

 

Any ways its just me, I always loved spending my crystals since sept of 2012 till now :lol:

Emerald or Isida? I feel that Emerald would be good because I use Thunder, but I also feel like Isida would be a great addition.

If you use Thunder M3/Planning on M3, then I definitely suggest getting Emerald. Just wait for the 25% sale if you don't wanna wait for a 50%. ;)

hi everyone on the may sale on turrets I want to get m2 rail but hopefully I can get enough money before the 9th but if I don't get there hat m2 should I get

The more Isida's I watch on YouTube, the more I want it. The more I self-destruct with Thunder, the more I want Emerald. I really can't decide

[Celestial_Maelstrom 23]

Hornet m3; Isida m3; Emerald. Pick two out of the three.

 

What should I MU on my Hammer and Viking m3? I don't plan on spending more than 82-92k. (May sale; 50% and 80% discount)

Damage, Reload for Hammer, and Protection, Maximum Speed for Viking.

I kinda have the same question for every item in the game. 

 

Take Wasp. Do you upgrade something it's known for, speed, or something it lacks, like health?

 

Or Railgun. Do you upgrade something it's known for, damage, or something it lacks, like reload?

[NewbieCake 3,067]

Waiting for a 50% sale, like usual ._. but I don't think I'm gonna get Smoky M3 anymore, considering it's dead, so my question is this, I have 135k crys, what M3(s) should I get on the next 50% sale? I know I'm getting Hunter, I just need a turret.

IMO, I would upgrade Turrets' strengths, then focus on the weaknesses. As for Hulls, I would MU the weaknesses, then focus on the strengths.

Should I purchase ricochet m3 this sale, the anxiety has been killing me... With 25% added on I get 47% off total,,,,, but I'll be away under my saving plans for hammer m3

I would get Ricochet over Hammer in light of the re-balance. Trust me, I use Hammer M3, and I think Ricochet M3 would be better.

While this is a simple strategy that is reasonably good, you can think of a turrets damage and reload time as DPS, and then get the step with the most value. That way you may find yourself upgrading both at the same time. To clarify this, the last step in upgrading damage is very expensive and has a smaller impact on DPS than the first step of reload time upgrade. Bear in mind that sometimes the reload time upgrade is useless. Say I pay thousands and thousands to upgrade the reload time from 0.510 second to 0.500 seconds. Seriously? Like anybody would notice.

 

Now when it comes to hulls, usually the speed upgrade is much more expensive and very insignificant. You also need to think about the steps. Say you pay many thousands to upgrade the speed from 10.0 to 10.3. That is 3%. Nobody would feel it, unless you are doing a marathon, and we usually don't do that here.

When I was talking of Hulls weaknesses, I am referring mostly to Wasp: (MU the total HP and weight)

When I am referring to Turrets, I agree, reload time is insignificant. So I focus on Damage. (Or Range, if I am using, say: Ricochet or Twins.)

Bear in mind that M3 Rico unlocks 4 ranks after M3 Hammer. It better be a lot better, and by then you are expected to have upgraded your M3 Hammer quite a bit, or others will eat you alive.

Trust me, I'm waiting for the sale. :P

There are always special cases. For example, Thunder reload time used to be upgradable to be reduced by 17% or something like that. That is a serious change. I think now they reduced that to about 13%, which is still noticeable, but say Rico reload time upgrades are a joke, for M3, ~5%, and this is not even the real reload time. This is the time between shots, and you still run out of ammo at the same time (or rather a little faster).

[michael470 13]

Shaft m2 or Vulcan m2?

Pitbull, firewall or bulldozer?

Anyone?

[Destroyer8-k 9]

Need help.

 

Should I buy Hornet M1 now or buy Ricochet M1 after saving 1000 more crystals.

[fast900 5]

lol I plan on buying both, all in good time by Tanki's Birthday for sure  :lol:

[Celestial_Maelstrom 23]

Okay, I'm upgrading Hammer damage significantly, and a little on reload. I'm upgrading only Viking's health, significantly. I will be upgrading both damage and reload on Thunder, lightly. Can someone give me precise numbers on how many times I should upgrade each parameter, (totaling around 60k with the upcoming MU sale) because aside from my Rail's damage a while back and a few on my Thunder, I don't have any experience micro upgrading.

i dont think its (quite) dead. It still has its unique crits, but less effective as a trade off for regular damage increase. On the other hamd thunder has its splash damage, but unlike smoky, now its miniscule, and practically non existant. Smoky still has the character and still packs a punch

[kayitsiz 621]

Anyone?

If you can, buy bulldozer.

Pitbull also can be a great choice.

 

You can buy shaft M2 or Vulcan M2 after bulldozer. However, you should buy them if you really want to play with them, don't wait a lot success.

I don't know How the new Vulcan is, but weaker than old one.

Shaft has a bug right now and developeers still trying to solve
