7) the best way to join a clan
? 8) i can't seem to put shields on my drones ....oh says the blind man shields and speed in drones are better than fl2s
thanks all

 

In a Vengi you can always run... but a Leo will hit harder in the lowers, and as a result, use less ammo..

Eventually, you will be in uppers or pirate maps anyways, so Vengi is the longer term goal....but if you are churning out npc's in the lowers for a while, stick with Leo and Single arrow formation ( 1 mil credits, +20% more missile damage, but -3% laser damage ).

For configs id do the same for both ships either way..

1st, shooting config: all shields on ship, all lasers on drones ( add a shield or 2 on a drone if needed)

2nd, running config: all speed gens on ship, all shields on drones ( add a laser or 2 on a drone as needed).

Then just work on getting all your BO2 and LF3 in trade, as well as Irises....good luck.

***EDIT***

I wrote all this assuming you have all the best speed gens (the 7900's) already....If not get those first.. right now ! lol.....and ALWAYS make sure you "boost" your speed gens with promerium, the orange mineral, to go the max speed.

 

I might add Premium because of how cheap it is now. They offer the specials for like
2 or 3 bucks. Make sure you max out in your Skylab to get the credits rolling in. It helps when biding on gear.Use your saved up Uri for Bio. only. It's very important at
this stage because your gonna need at least 36.

Like Pie said you"ll eventually go to uppers & pirate maps.If your Premium get a Pet
with level 3 kami and 3 resource for NPC's and pallying. Use your saved up Keys on
Zeus day for better odds.

I'm currently running my Veng right now and can tell once you out fit it, in the
right hands can be a a devastating little ship. Its got about 1.4 mil shields and
still manages to hit 28k to 34k whites and it's fast. so is my pet
