    Hey guys, Maersk from USA East 3 here. I currently have a beta and gamma gate opened, and started the gates with 0 Uridium. I did this on purpose: After completion of both gates, I'll have a total of 100,000 Uridium. With the npcs, I'll have an extra 32,440. So I'll have a grand total of 132,440.

    My question is this:

    I have premium and rebate, so 30% off Uridium items.

    I'm looking into 2 formations: Diamond, and Pincer


    Diamond is 100,000, with rebate and premium, it's 70,000.
    Pincer is also 100,000, with rebate and premium, it's 70,000.


    Both formations will cost 140,000, which on my part, leaves me 7,560 Uridium to collect, which isn't a whole lot.


    But, my other option was to buy just one formation, and use the rest to work on another gate. If I buy one formation and use the rest in galaxy gates, I'll have 892 spins, which is usually the average to open a lambda or hades.

    So if I buy the formations, which formation(s) should I buy?

    I currently have these formations:
    F-01-TU - Turtle
    F-02-AR - Arrow
    F-09-MO - Moth
    F-11-HE - Heart


    What should I do? Voice your opinion below.


    I have my apis drone, so that's out of the question.

    [NWO]Ηεαятвяεακ_Οήέ - I should point out that the rebate only takes effect after a purchase, which means that in order to buy one of those Formations, you will need 95,000 Uridium in your account at the time (Premium discount deducts off the initial cost). You will need a total of 165,000 Uridium to purchase both Formations, although you will only end up with 140,000 Uridium spent.

    Since the Pincer Formation is more of a PvP option, the Diamond Formation would probably assist more for NPCs while you earn the extra Uridium, but that choice is up to you.

    He has the heart formation.

    To the OP, I am in the same server and I am looking at the same thing, kinda. I plan to go with the diamond formation so I can farm the bray and get my upgrades going strong.

    If you have a good alien hunting configuration that also has shields close to 500k then diamond formation would be perfect for you to get, If you are a leonov person with premium then Rocket chevron fprmation would be a deadly choice as it increases rocket damage 50% then you have the leonov home advantage alogn with premium making you fire rockets twice as fast....use 3030's(with prec. targeter) with that formation in home maps and you will do great in PVP...

    If you are a PVP'er and u already have a heart formation..i would suggest a moth formation..i feel it pairs well with the heart formation in almost every encounter. If your skill set is good enough to run a suicide on 1 side using a moth and having a shield side with a heart ..then u never loose that HP bonus in the switch. I find those 2 formations work excellent together.
