P.E.T. 10

A few questions:

Do I need to have the previous level of protocol or gear before getting the next? Or if my pet is a high enough level can I just skip straight to level 3? I bought a level 1 and now it is occurring to me that maybe I should know how this works a little better before building it up

What is the optimal build for the folowing functions I would like it to perform? :

1.) Palladium collection
2.) Bonus box collecting
3.) Kami spread damage gate completion
4.) Fuel efficiency

I can prioritize # 1 and 2 first. #3 pretty much requires palladium collection, and #4 is pointless without the others.

Also, aren't the fuel protocols pointless since having a protocol equipped increases fuel consumption? Wouldn't it just cancel itself out?

 

You don't need to purchase pet gears or protocols of a certain level to be able to purchase gears and protocols of a higher level. You can purchase level 3 gears and protocols when your P.E.T. reaches level 8.

1.) Level 3 Auto Resource Collector with all radar protocols for max range.

2.) Level 3 Auto Looter with salvage or radar protocols, a mix of both perhaps.

3.) Level 3 Kamikaze gear, there is no protocols that help with kamikaze in any way, maybe alien protocols if you want your pet to hit harder while doing the gates but they'd be a waste.

4.) Level 15 pet with 6 gears 12 protocols consumes 78 fuel per minute. Keep in mind that protocols stack, if those 12 protocols were level 3 fuel protocols which each decrease fuel consumption by 3% then you would use 32% less fuel per minute, that comes out to 24.96 less fuel used per minute, round up to 25. The 12 protocols themselves would consume 24 fuel per minute making this an inefficient way of saving with your pet purchases, there is no good way to save when it comes to pet or pet fuel, some view it as a complete uridium sink. Rebate and premium do decrease the costs by 30% though, would be a major uridium saver if you planned on purchasing all these level 3 gears and protocols and pet slots.

Formula = 1 + ( [PET Level] * 2 ) + ( [Ai Protocols equipped] * 2 ) + ( [Gears equipped] * 4)

I would suggest not purchasing any level 1 or 2 pet equipment and going straight for level 3, level 3 protocols and gears are unlocked for purchase when your pet reaches level 8, they aren't cheap.

 

Thank you I think this is what I was looking to hear. I figured fuel protocols were useless. #1 and 2 seem pretty straightforward now that someone's explained it and it's good to know I don't need anything besides the Kami gear for gates.

Might it be beneficial to keep the pet at a lower level, say 12 perhaps? It doesn't get any more protocol slots after that, and it will only increase fuel use

 

allow me to give u my advice concerning my experience to bonus boxing
for no2 question my answer is pet lvl10 with 12 radar protocols ONLY

 

It would be best to keep the pet the lowest possible level to conserve pet fuel but have all available slots and gears/protocols.

 

Hello GreenandGrey

Thank you all for assisting with this thread.

Since BOSS~ADAM covered your question in brief all I would like to add is boxing with a box-doubler, PET gears & protocols and boxing bio, check the below link:
https://board-en.darkorbit.com//threads/skill-tree-bio.17520/#post-135451

Do you (the original poster) have any further questions or can we close?

 

if the request is maximum bonus boxing colection efficiency ....
for me (allow me to insist ) analyticaly and the ONLY way is

• pvp only
• spearhead
• tractor beam 2
• good luck 1 & 2
• pet lvl10
• pet auto looter lvl3 x1
• pet radar protocol lvl3 x12 !!!!!!
• bonus box doubler

me at the moment ... missing only
1 radar protocol & bonus box doubler ... i average collect

• 10-12 k uri &
• 67 gg energy spins

per hour ....... (last time that i confirmed that was from 10 till 12/2/2014)

has any of u better performance with an other setup ???? (please only true & confirmed replies)

 

1 more question. After how many radar protocols are collected will it be worthwhile to operate the pet? I assume I will need the pet active and functional to make most of that.

After this question is answered you may close

 

Hello GreenandGrey


Thank you all for assisting with this thread.

Maximum Radar protocol (Level 3) is only good for collecting palladium but for boxing you would need only 3 or 4 Radar protocol (Level 3) and rest Salvage protocols.

Salvage protocols: Increases bonus box loot by 3%.
Luck I & II: 12% increase from bonus box contents.
Tractor Beam II: 20% increase from bonus box contents.

So if you have 9 salvage you would get 27% total boost and 3 Radar protocol (Level 3) to increase the range of your P.E.T and also your P.E.T should be active all the time on Auto-looter mode.

If you are going with 37 boxing bio with Luck I & II:

Skill	PP
Ship Hull I	2
Logistics	2
Luck I	2
Shield Engineering	5
Evasive Maneuvers I	2
Ship Hull II	3
Shield Mechanics	5
Tractor Beam II	5
Bounty Hunter I	2
Bounty Hunter II	3
Evasive Maneuvers II	3
Luck II	3
Total	37

With this bio and P.E.T set-up you will get:
150 uridum in battle maps with Luck I & Luck II and Tractor Beam II = 512 uridium (If pet collects)
150
5 gg spins (If pet collects)
4 gg spins (If ship collects)

Alternate way:
Firstly if you want to get maximum amount of gate spins in battle maps from bonus boxes and also have your pvp bio retained, you would need only Tractor Beam II skills no need to put points in Luck I & Luck II and Tractor Beam I.

Boxing & PVP bio 37 pp:

Skill	PP
Ship Hull I	2
Ship Hull II	3
Engineering	1
Shield Mechanics	5
Tractor Beam II	5
Shield Engineering	5
Bounty Hunter I	2
Bounty Hunter II	3
Evasive Maneuvers I	2
Evasive Maneuvers II	3
Rocket Fusion	3
Electro-Optics	3
Total	37

Note:
You should have all level 3 protocols (radar and salvage). Minimum 9 salvage and 3 radar protocol along with box doubler and auto-looter in order to get 5gg spins if your P.E.T picks up the bonus box and 4 gg spins if your ship picks up the bonus box.

Tractor Beam I: This skills increases your cargo loot and won't affect bonus boxes, so its not wise to put points in this skill.
Luck I & Luck II: This skill is good and in total it gives 12% increase on bonus box contents but the actual difference having this 2 skills and only having Tractor Beam II is negligible, Refer to example below:

Example:
A) 150 uridum in battle maps with Luck I & Luck II and Tractor Beam II = 512 uridium (If pet collects)
B) 150 uridum in battle maps with Tractor Beam II = 457 uridium (If pet collects)

Total Difference: A-B = 55 uridium.
The boxing bio is only good for pilots who have box-doubler and P.E.T related stuffs and in the end it all depends on your choice what bio you want to go for, so all the best with that.

Enjoy the game.
