How to permanently increase HP.

Awesome, it's better than I thought.
More the reason I want to get them now, lol

 

You never knew before??

 

Saturn only does 20% hp, has nothing to do with shields. And it's extremely hard to get luck wise for some players.

 

Yeah, KilerStreak corrected me on that.

That's why I said, comes into play MUCH MUCH later in his gameplay.

 

Anyways, to the OP, there are many ways to increase hp and shields.
Formations (Heart for example)
Drone Designs (All Hercules won through kappa gates)
Pilot Bio (Takes Time)

 

Only one of those PERMANENTLY increase hp. Yes, all three things increase hp, but Bio is the only thing that will stick to you (unless you reset it, of course). And the OP asked which one gives Permanant hp.

 

technically hercs can do a perm. increase if you keep them on, and have them on both configes. Either way, the heart formation increases it, and can easily be left on without switching. my response was still as good as any if you just thought about it before replying without thinking.

 

You really should not worry too much about your HP. Increasing it is so hard, just concentrate on getting full shields on your ship. 50k extra from pilot bio does not really make a difference.

And remember always to have seprom in your shields. 40% more durability.

 

To permanently increase hp :

1. Use Heart formation
2. Get the Pilot bio for HP
3. Use full Hercs if you have it

I managed to get 634k hp In saturn using double boost , heart , full pilot bio on hp , and full hercs...

 

Starting with a Phoenix, and moving up to Each Next Ships Type gives a Permanent Increase in HP..

Drone Designs are available Once you have Gained enough Equipment so as to Survive your Built Galaxy gates.. within your DO-able Survival ability and Skill.. as you continue to Play.. your HP ( Ship Type ) will Rise .. however each Ship type Requires Shields, even if your a Level 10 pilot and Own a Goliath without Sufficient Shields your HP means very Little.. Adding the Bo2 increases your Ability to LAST.. thus its a Tougher ship.

The Real Trick is How to Move out of the NPCs " Target Lock Range " and Still hit the Target.. without taking any damage.. As you become aware of this Distance and Stay in " The Zone "==> HP is totally irrelevant.. Many of the most Experienced Pilots.. can Kill the Toughest of NPCs by " Circling the Targeted NPC " staying just out of its Range.. even shooting it.. during its " Death Run " your HP is irrelevant.. because These Pilots just Watch the Shield Damage to find.. "The ZONE"

Your Skill in Circling or Kiting a NPC.. in a Large Group will Determine IF you can Complete your Constructed Gates and Receive its REWARDs..

The Best Equipment and Skills Learned from Mastering these TIPs.. will make your GamePlay more Enjoyable and You will Find HP is irrelevant Taking out most NPCs..

Learn by Grinding away.. and Searching Forums for How to DO This.. Is your Path to the Dark Orbit's Mastery Guide to the Universe..

 

If you take it that way, then all three of those are permanent.

 

Phoenix_727, I have moved your thread to a more appropriate section as this is not a game problem question.

The Saturn design in the best defensive ship other than Solace...until you get all the blue drones.

The UFEs target your HP more so than your shields.
