    35 Pages of Drone Weapons parts

    I don't know about the Global "care factor", but these threads have ALWAYS served an important purpose. During any given Global / League Event(s), players and forum members can locate, read and post the latest up to date information regarding the game and game play.

    Since the demise of the Lunatic Asylum, I too find periodically posting the "Global Positioning" less and less relevant. I also know that at the pace you're winning battles, that you should max out your base before lunch; but since you and I are (were) the only ones who ever bothered to post this information, we were the only ones who gleaned any real benefit from it, outside of curiosity.

    I will post an update eventually, the frequency may drop a bit, but I think it's still worthwhile to post the statistics.

    I've got another problem ... since I've been replaying campaign missions to collect drone fuses, I have also slowly accumulated 300M in cash. So unless I see something like an 18.5 ASSAULT weapon up for grabs ...

    I also noticed that this crumby VIP Event does NOT offer a single drone fuse, not a one ... this has got to be some sort of conspiracy.

    We have discussed this before: The current reward structure is totally out of whack. Spend 500 Gold get $15K to add to your 300M game $, spend 2400 Diamonds get 40K Diamonds, 1/4 of a single PVP, VIP weapons not worth owning. Global milestones, same story: 100 AP get 250 Diamonds, 1000 AP get 1500 Diamonds, get all the way to 3000 AP , and win, are you ready, 3000 Diamonds, 2% of a single VIP. Not much incentive to play.

    Incentive? The education of those that follow, Brad.

    Five weeks into rebuilding, I have reached level 58, base tier 5.5, 5.5 assault and sniper at 80% upgrade and drone at level 42.

    Your teachings have provided the guidance to achieve this balanced status. "Focus on the diamonds and keep you base upgrades even or ahead of your weapons." Your words of wisdom, I am your student. You are teaching well.

    Incentive? The future is my incentive.
    Huggles, Raylina

    No incentive at all ... in fact the only reason(s) I continue to play this game is (1) I want to use every drone weapon parts just to see how far that goes and (2) the most important of all ... the statistical convergence that is TIER 17; then and ONLY THEN can I rest ... LOL ... ironic when one ponders the CKS lifecycle and it's mutation into a "high roller's paradise" (yet to be seen).

    I've been trying to determine the most efficient way to proceed with drone development; the assumption being that 2.95M drone weapons power cannot be achieved in my lifetime. I've been looking at a few scenarios that would appear to be more practical.

    (1) 410K ROOT: this is where I am currently at 470K power / 440K weapons. The weapons max out at 1.07M, which doesn't seem to give me much head room.

    (2) 510K ROOT: this would be the next significant power jump; I'm not sure where the top end max's out.

    (3) 740K ROOT: this is almost irrelevant since the last time I checked I believe that the only 740K parts I owned were for SHIELD GENERATOR and HEALING RAY and none for weapons; I'll need to confirm this.

    So BRAD how should I proceed? I'd like to get the most killing power for the drone in the shortest amount of time, that's stating the obvious. You've been down this road so what would you recommend?

    First an answer as to where the 510Ks top out: 1.72M. My theory remains the same: Upgrade the Drone if you have the XP to do it. Avoid weapons upgrades unless you have no other place to spend your dough.

    I am of the the view that if you have 740K HR and SG, you have the two most important Drone accessories. I am currently at 1.5M on MG, SG and RL, and 1.62M on the HR and I intend to take the HR to 2.95M before I upgrade any of the other Drone weps further.

    The truth is you are hobbled by the lack of XP to upgrade the Drone itself, but to the extent that you have them, use them; You are only 3 Levels away from the 510 K weapons.

    Alright, so as I understand it, I'll get the support drone and weapons to 510K which I should be able to do relatively quickly. Next, I'll split my diamonds resources to upgrading the MG & RL weapons and on acquiring (fusing) fuses to get support drone up to 740K to take advantage of the 740K SG and HR parts.

    Here's an update:

    It took all of the fuses I had collected thus far to close out 470K Power (1230/1235 XP).

    03 x TIER 15 (XP-29); 32 x TIER 15 (XP-23); 20 x TIER 7 (XP-19);

    This is ridiculous and that's why I'm throwing in the towel at 510K. There just aren't enough fuses in the Universe to make any real progress. I've everything anyone would need EXCEPT fuses ... really s.u.c.k.s

    The way I see it 510K max's out at 1.72M weapons power, reaching 2.95M on the support drone itself is not only a waste of time but wasting diamonds as well that would be better expended on stronger weapons. Now if I had the fuses to burn, YNOT, but that's not the case so something has to give.

    Good Morning ...

    BRAD ... obviously you have no more need for drone fuses and I have well over 10,000 drone weapons parts ... surely we can reach some sort of trade agreement and bring order back to our chaotic Universe.

    I wish it were possible, I don't even know where my Fuses went. Once you hit 2.95M they completely disappear. I hop Glu has them somewhere.
