Hey guys! I whaled a bit after playing and now I actually have a couple ships. Will also have z52 VERY soon

quasi cliff
#

well I'm sorry to say that your whaling has done jack to help you progress

#

first off, you got Marco Polo with the 10 dollar pack right?

#

and not the 16 dollar one

elder kite
#

I did get the 16 dollar one, but I saved the blueprints if that means anything

quasi cliff
#

you shouldn't be saving the blueprints

#

use them on all Marco Polo

#

right now she is absolute garbage

#

this is why

elder kite
#

lo that's good to know. I looked at the community list and it said she was really good so I got her

quasi cliff
#

eh

#

to be honest your choice could have been better no matter how you look at it but it's happened

#

anyway

#

I'm presuming you read the newbie tips already then?

elder kite
#

Yeah, I went through it

#

That's why i had those 4 ships

quasi cliff
#

well max Marco Polo to dev 30

#

and your main fleet continue to consist of Marco Polo, Unicorn, Saratoga, Portland, Laffey, Helena for the time being

elder kite
#

I mean $10 is whatever, if there's a better PR I can get I'm perfectly willing to buy that and use the bp there

#

What do I do with z52 when I get her?

quasi cliff
#

bench her for now

#

as well as Fritz

#

because you can't limit break them

quasi cliff
elder kite
#

Hmm gotcha gotcha. Yeah Fitz is only 1

#

So I ned 2 more before she's usable?

quasi cliff
#

you'll get them eventually by grinding and none of them are necessary to progress

#

and at this point won't really make the grind that much faster and easier

#

if you really want to spend money

#

I would reccomend the level 70 commander pack

elder kite
#

Oh, and why is Duisberg not in my main btw?

quasi cliff
#

cuts out all of the early game commander gates and is a nice little resource boost

elder kite
#

I have her max

quasi cliff
#

she's kinda not that good

#

but since she's higher level you can use her over Helena for now

elder kite
#

hmmm good that I got about 15 of her

quasi cliff
#

oh and btw what server do you play on?

elder kite
#

little ent

quasi cliff
#

rip, no CVs in the medal shop then, oh well

elder kite
#

what other cvs am I looking for?

quasi cliff
#

Enterprise mainly from the medal shop

brazen herald
#

Other path is from newplayer quest

#

Might considering newyear invitation event SR ships

elder kite
#

Oh, I should note that I have a bunch of orange Bulin

quasi cliff
#

uhhh

#

I guess go ahead and start leveling San Diego on the side then

#

but don't retrofit her

elder kite
#

Got it. I have about 20 of the things

quasi cliff
#

and uhh do your best to try and be able to do at least D1/B1 on hard mode by the end of the event

elder kite
#

Sorry, D1 and B1?

quasi cliff
#

event maps

elder kite
#

Ahhhh gotcha

#

Do you think cubes or pulls help me at all anymore or not really?

quasi cliff
#

no

#

start saving for the next event

#

which will be Yorktown 2 on January 9th

elder kite
#

Okay, cool. I am sitting on like 100 cubes rn

quasi cliff
#

yeah you will very quickly find that is not enough probably

elder kite
#

Yeah, sadly I went to pity timer on Fitz

quasi cliff
#

rip

#

oh any by the way in future

#

better to spread your builds out over the event

#

not only do you gain some extra event points

#

but you can also save some cubes as the cube you'd normally use for a daily light build now gets used on the event

elder kite
#

Ah, so it saves you a cube per day

#

I've heard from a lot of people that 12-4 is where I should be farming. During the event should it be D3 instead?

quasi cliff
#

yes

#

always prioritize the event over permanent content

elder kite
#

Okay, thank you

#

Last question, I have Agir marked as my research ship. In the meantime until I gte her, should I actually retrofit Portland or is it not worth it?

#

Or is agir bad and I am dumb

quasi cliff
#

you should retrofit Portland because she's needed for the rookie missions

#

and Agir won't be ready for a few months

#

also I reccomend setting your research focus to PR4 and Catchup to Anchorage not Agir

elder kite
#

Okay, thank you. ACTUAL last questionm, you said Laffey for my main fleet but she is not MLB

#

Should I MLB her or use an SSR I can MLB with my orange bulins?

quasi cliff
#

oh sorry I misread her level

#

use Portland, Helena, Duisburg for your vanguard for now then

#

but do work on getting Laffey leveled up on the side

elder kite
#

Helena also not MLB

quasi cliff
#

you can get 2 bullins to limit break her pretty easily

elder kite
#

Okay, makes sense. I heard she's good retrofitted, is that the case?

quasi cliff
#

yes

#

but her retrofit doesn't improve her all that much

#

so other have higher priority over her

elder kite
#

Okay, thanks for all your help

#

I'll save up for next event. Is there a ship in that event I should be focusing on replacing one of mine with, or am I just trying for one of each?

quasi cliff
#

no

#

if you did level up any new ships they would be for your 2nd fleet

#

all the ships in your current main fleet

#

will stick around for a decent bit still

elder kite
#

Sorry to keep bothering you, but if I can MLB San Diego right now, is she not better than Helena?

quasi cliff
#

they do different roles

#

put simply

elder kite
#

Got it. And Anchorage for Portland when I eventually research and unlock her?

quasi cliff
#

kind of

#

Portland gets booted the mob fleet if you don't have someone to do that then

elder kite
#

Got it. Is that also where Unicorn is going when I can use Fitz? lol

quasi cliff
#

she stays

#

pretty much permanently

elder kite
#

Got it. Is there anywhere in this server I can see actual fleet lists? I feel like the tier list hasn't helped me much

#

I looked on the wiki and the github and stuff

quasi cliff
#

there isn't a tier list for fleets

#

because that would get very big very fast

elder kite
#

I just mean some general compositions or staples that are accurate, but I get it
