So... Advice? :)

So, I'm thinking of coming back to DO. I've been gone a while but I miss the peeps in the game ^_^ soo I'm thinking I'll get $200 worth of uri on a MHH after Christmas.... My plan is get enough log disks for 25 pps (full fats and shield engineering) which I have calculated roughly to be 700k uri. Then I would get a hangar, so 750k uri, get a pet, that's 800k, upgrade all iris to 16 (104k uri, with prem would be 97k uri, so 786k, combined is 1,536,000 that leaves me roughly 650k uri) then, I would get heart, and diamond, that makes it roughly 450k, I would think spend that on 15 bo2 and 31 lf-3. That would be my plan. Anything further, like kami for pet would be obtained via gates. Thanks in advance.

NOOO DON"T SPEND URI ON bo2 OR LF3 WASTEEE, SPEND ON UPGRADES AND YOU PROB WANT MORE PP, OR JUST GET APIS AND ZEUS WITH BOOTY KEYS

 

My advice?

Get Premium + Rebate then start spending uridium. PET is only useful if you have Premium as it sucks up alot of Uri when it dies after a certain level and is not worth getting unless you plan on doing dozens and dozens of gates to get that PET to level up.

I would say, Do not spend uri on getting PET till your ship is strong. And if you do spend money on upgrading, do not spend it on LF3s. Drones first then Shields.

Also, All the extras in the Auction are easy to get and so are the Basic ships so do not spend Uridium trying to get a Vengeance or Goliath.

 

My advice don't come back play something else with less cheats , less lag , cheaper etc etc etc and I wouldn't spend a penny on this game the way it is and has become.

 

Premium and rebate if you plan on buying so much uridium, bid on Bo2s and LF3s and iris, build your skylab to be able to, keep premium if you plan on having a pet, get it level 8 to buy level 3 gears, don't buy level 1 or 2 gears, level 3 kami and diamond and Aegis will be good for farming and gate bashing.

Depending on your fighting style I'd recommend a few more drone formations, more upgrades of course but level 16 iris would be a good start, try to hold out for some upgrade hours to save even more. You could buy your apis and maybe zeus instead of buying your basic FE equipment, the LF3's you'd eventually be replacing anyways. Start with Zeta gates to get log disks for bio and booty keys for zeus and LF4 day. I'm not sure what configs you run but Id suggest a few less LF3s and a few more Bo2s.

You only need 24 points for the main things, fats, shield engineering and shield mechanics, with premium and rebate the cost is 557,550 uridium.

One drone to level 16 at 100% without any discounts is 104,250 uridium. With just premium it is 99,037 uridium. With rebate it is 78,187 uridium. With premium and rebate and upgrade hour it is 52,125 uridium, quite a bit of possible savings that you aren't employing. Keep in mind it takes approximately 3 hours to upgrade one item to level 16 so you'd need a few upgrade hours but I think it would be worth the wait.

1,980,000 uridium on a Mega: Log disks for 24 bio points is 557,500 uridium. 1 hanger for 37,500 uridium. 625,496 uridium for 8 level 16 drones unless you wait for upgrade hour. 150,000 uridium for diamond and heart. 345,000 uridium for 31 LF3s and 15 Bo2s if you decide to buy them. 485,250 uridium for 8 iris if you decide to buy them. You'd have 264,205 uridium left if you got everything I listed except the 8 iris and this is with rebate and premium and without a promotional code or upgrade hour at all. If this is your first uridium purchase on your account then you can use a promotional code to receive 10% uridium on your purchase which in your case would come out to a total of 2,178,000 uridium.

It would definitely be worth not buying some items and of course investing in rebate as well to maximize your discounts. I hope this was helpful and let me know if I missed something.

 

So far I dont disagree with those posting helpful suggestions, except one (guess which one), and I dont think you need a lot more to think about... the game has changed a lot (dont know since when you last played) and so I would suggest that you spend a few days playing and chat with new/old friends and see if they can add to what has been said...
we all play in different ways and expect different things... I would say 'suck it and see'...

 

I would say it's your call, but go by these suggestions.

I would say do this before all because you will not know what to expect nowadays. Go through this forum and read up on the OAs, and the posts mainly in the Speaker's corner, because it will provide you with a background of what to expect. Do not spend any real money on this game until you know what to expect.

Also, for gates and other stuff, I would refer you to this Awesome thread.

 

Boss Adam said about 100 different things that can more than triple your Uridium purchasing power. If you are really really really really .....gonna spend money do it exactly as he said . you could get close to full UFE in about one month of perfect timing / playing.

 

Honestly, don't spend a freaking dime until you see what the game has become. You might not like it and end up doing a facepalm for spending on a game of diminishing quality. There is not a great sense of community in the game like there used to be. More of a bunch of greedy punks with fat wallets bullying everything weaker than them.

 

Bang on the button m8, couldn't of said it better myself, 100% accurate statement

 

Funny how you guys still think you need money to play this game.
