Continued Growth – Starting to focus on building more ships!

I have now found 6 planets, and that is a great cluster!! Having stuff so close is really nice to move ships and resources. I will admit I found them so frequently there for a few days, I am getting a little annoyed I have found once recently!!
Those are some pretty good finds - Here is my total account details

• 315 Explorations
• 14 lost ships
• 6 found planets

I This has defiantly been lucky so far, and I am on a good area of the Map I think. It looks like I will eventually be forced to focus on exploring “west” on the map due to the limited population. It might be a race to see who can establish an outpost in the vast wilderness. Let’s hope my hot streak continues and my explorations keep producing planets.

Planets

So many Earth/Atmosphere. I really hope they make them powerful somehow. The rest all give a production boost, hoping these get a purpose too!

• Uncommon Earth
• Uncommon Earth
• Uncommon Earth
• Common Ore
• Rare Earth
• Uncommon Earth

Ships

I can build the explorers, transporters and corvettes on all my planets, and I am building as many as I can. They are my workhorses. Moving supplies, and farming is so much faster at 4 tiles than 2 tiles. I really should have focused on these first vs transporters. They have so much more utility.

I am building the skills for all other ships., but no skill is past level 6. It will be a while before I can get them to producing, but at this point the upgrades should be continuous, so some of the smaller ones might be by next week.

Explorers & Transporters

Still working towards getting one of these, but I see a lot of complaints from those using them. I guess losing them and the resources it took to build is painful. Might still be worth it eventually, but my shipyard is short and it requires a ton of resources that are being used by other ship upgrades right now. I still have about a weeks’ worth of flights before I start to get pushed to that 10-12 tile limit where flights just take too long. I hope to find another planet before that, to reset my search grid, at least for a little while.

I think I saw in Discord a mention of a new Transporter being released. I am sure it will be a blueprint ship. Might balance out the Corvette to transporter stats – will be interesting to see what they come out with.

Plan – Upgrade everything.

I am working on Mission control level 4. Should be completed tonight. Then I will move onto level 5. I am upgrading all the ship skills, and other random skills I can find.
My Mines are capped at 13 right now, and storage is also 13. While I am sometimes short for a big upgrade, I can just farm, or transport what I need. The cost of upgrading is too high right now. Eventually overtime I will get there.

I am trying hard to not start any fights, I try to only hit up the farms around me, and not lay waste to a few planets that would only take a few corvettes to set them back. Not sure if this is smart, or stupid. Even if I got the resources, all I want is more planets to produce ships, resources, and explore from, but I doubt I will drop 50 STEEM for one. Maybe when STEEM hits $0.10

There are several in SSG that are getting higher up in the ranks and are getting more planets. Hopefully we can grow together and create a bit presence, but I know many are just too far away to do anything with. It is frustrating to know they need help but have it be a 5 day flight…. Can’t tie up mission control for that long.

Game on!! _Senstless
