  2. 1st lvl up ur skill tree mate -
    evasive manuvers must be 5/5
    shield engenering same
    make strong shields - then the rest

    then apis & zeus (collect ONLY golden boodys)

    then make same post again
    thats my opinion mate

    Thanks for advice, so my skill tree have added correctly and just have to max evasive manuvers (I and II?) and shield engenering right? Then, should I get log disk from bid/Uridium/gate? Apis & Zeus collect only when there is event right?
     
  4. wellcome mate
    skill tree can get various setups depending ur needs .. but i think 1st row (shields) is a MUST
    skill tree is single most expencive item in DO mate - will need a lot of uri just for 5-7 next points - take ur time
    u must only try to get ZEUS - this is possible only by opening golden boodys - but !!!! golden boodys also give apis parts .. till u have all zeus parts u will have almost 2 full apis for free = DO NOT GET ANY GREEN BOOTY AT ALL

    True. Thank you so much! I will repost again after I done my skill tree, Apis & Zeus.
     
  6. i thank u also for trusting me
    have fun mate
     
  7. From the three formations you've chosen, not knowing if you already own any of them or what you focus on in-game, I'd have to suggest Heart and Diamond first and foremost for farming and all around use, Moth is also good for hunting and gates.

    The Aegis is really only good for NPC's and gate bashing. I'm not sure whether you own any Goliath skill designs but the best is the Sentinel in my mind. If you NPC, pally, quest, box, etc, more then you hunt then Aegis, if you like to hunt a lot then Goliath. You should focus more on upgrades after you finished with your BIO.

    You should probably work on maxing shield engineering then either the evasive maneuvers or rocket fusion. If you want LF4's then pally for Epsilon or Kappa gates, I'd suggest Kappa's. You should probably stick to Zeta's though, you'll get 50 logdisks a gate for your BIO, 25 booty keys, a chance at a Havoc, and 47k uridium including alien rewards.

    Someone already suggested using keys only on Zeus day, get booty keys from gates and save them for a Zeus day (Golden booty boxes) , you'll get a very cheap or free Apis and very cheap Zeus with this method.

    I haven't have any of those formations. Thank you for letting me know about the function of each!

    Having a goliath with enforcer design only :( Should be get Aegis first and farm for full items.

    Rocket fusion is really that important? Currently will be pally + zeta gate.

    Thank you for the guidance!
     

  9. Having an Aegis to farm with would be a good idea, put it in another hanger and put it in 5-2 when you pally as well, rocket fusion is helpful and can make a big difference, when it's maxed 5/5, it gives you 15% more rocket damage.

    Correct...but Aegis still long way to go, it hard to bid on auction.
     
  11. just wondering
    how u get uridium ?
    ur profile seems to me u pay to lvl up - correct ?
     
  12. I disagree. Pilot bio should not come first. Log disks should be earned on the side and only on the side. You can get so many log disks and booty keys easily.

    VVVVVVVVVVVVVV
    Grind Zeta gate
    AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    This will get you upgrades, log disks, booty keys, and HAVOCs. It's the best plan of action for any free player right now.
     
  13. apis AND zeus give (if both added) +25% more lasers or shields
    update on iris give 15% more shields or 6% more lasers

    take also into consideration the cost of both and i believe its far better 2 more iris than iris updates
    i am waiting ur thoughts mate
     
  14. Well save up and bid or just buy it lol.
    BIO is key, although it gets expensive, it is very helpful and a necessity and best to get it early to aid in your trek to UFE. Building and grinding Zeta's isn't as easy as you make it out to be, besides that if your earning log disks on the side then where the hell does your uridium go?

    The best way to progress has always been a contentious issue, but accepting the game is now a game or chance, the gold booty boxes, until you get a free apis and at least 20 -30 zeus blue prints, is the best return as you get a chance of apis, and zeus BPs, LF4s and loads of conciliation prices of elite ammo boosters, cloaks, etc.

    Accepting that the early BIO skills are relatively cheap and useful so a combination of Bio and gold bbs is advisable.
