#My ships and brainstorming how to make me progress
keen sky
i genuinely have no clue about this game
i wonder that as well
i get ground down somehow
flat fossil
show gear
keen sky
let me arrange it so i have the best gear possible for the ships on them, gimme 5
pearl current
show everything. need to see more ships
pearl current
do you have gold bulins
cosmic lichen
i can see you wasted gold bulins
keen sky
cosmic lichen
+probably not playing pvp
keen sky
i can see you wasted gold bulins
yuh, i did
keen sky
+probably not playing pvp
nope, i am not
well, i do use my exercises but yeah, not ranking in the tens
i usually get to top 400 or something like that
cosmic lichen
then you should be able to buy bulins
pearl current

raise your cowpens when you have 2 gold bulin, replace painleve
keen sky
how do i get to those ships? as in how do i know those comps work and can identify them myself?
keen sky
i am already leveling owari skills rn
pearl current
this is the general gist on knowing which ship is good or not
knowing how to fleet build requires more indepth knowledge of what the skill does and what not
keen sky
thing is, i prioritize getting the ships, not perfect leveling
i know what i am about to say is gonna trigger you, and i KNOW it is stupid...
but i usually buy a sr ship for 20k arena coins, instead of a bulin for 15k
pearl current
your problem
cosmic lichen
buying the first copy is fine, buying dupes is not
keen sky
that is why i am asking for help with what i have, i know i could be playing a lot more focused and be further already
pearl current
no buying first copy is not fine either, if it ends up being useless in your dock doing nothing
keen sky
no no, i wouldnt buy dupes
pearl current
these for example
keen sky
no buying first copy is not fine either, if it ends up being useless in your doc...
well, it does give dev exp and permanent stats
cosmic lichen
i suppose that comes up to whether one whales for dock space
pearl current
sitting there being useless
keen sky
these for example
those i got from map drops i think?
pearl current
get them when you have a need for them
example, for faction tech
dont buy because you see it's new on the shop
keen sky
i suppose that comes up to whether one whales for dock space
that's the one thing i do. I use all my gems for dock space and i did buy for 10 bucks once
cosmic lichen
but yeah as mori said buy only when you wanna level them for tech or something
keen sky
dont buy because you see it's new on the shop
i also pull for every event in the hopes of getting everything, without any consideration for meta. But that's again my problem, more of a collector than a minmaxer in this game

ok have fun im out
keen sky
cosmic lichen
if you just buy willy nilly you are gonna cripple yourself while levelling
keen sky
i am aware, but that is my curse i think. I really do appreciate the help with my cursed approach tho
okay, lemme build my fleet with your recommendations and stick some gear o them really wuick
i really dont know about anxiliarry gear most of the time. Catapults for carriers and repair kits for vanguard, i know that much, but other than that... no clue

.
use that guide
pearl current
open techbox
dont randomly +11 gear
you wasted a lot of your gold plates enhancing shit gear
gold gear doesn't mean it's good
purple gear doesn't mean it's bad
keen sky
yuh, that's right
i am confused tho, does +11 really do a lot? It makes you better in Operations siren and nothing else, right?
pearl current
+11 does little, just 4% dmg
thats why you dont randomly +11
it's crap value
go from +10 to +13, don't stay in between
but also not on random shit gear
keen sky
i get the jumping from 11 to 13, but are the ones i pushed shit?
They were best in slot from what i had according to some newb guide
lemme find it real quick
this one
flat fossil
iirc that bb gun is ass
keen sky
as i said, best in slot from what i had/have
pearl current
so why invest in temporary gear
keen sky
the super heavy one was said to actually be best in slot
pearl current
the super heavy one was said to actually be best in slot
we dont usually use black shell
it's UR table+white shell most of the time
when you use white+black, it's for timing purpose. and usually only for soyuz nowadays
which you don't have
keen sky
so why invest in temporary gear
i mean... i guess that is philosophy. It felt good for progresion at that point, i think i did the barracuda one accidentally. I don't min max super hard, i think you noticed already. I know there's a lot of triggering things for a minmaxer in my approach, but now i can get better with your help
how do i get the UR Table?
pearl current
buy from limited core shop
flat fossil

slaimuda guide is mostly outdated
keen sky
no way for me to know, but i appreciate you telling me

for that recommendation: i was told that you want a BB in middle so it can defend against explosive ships, is that just bs or something i should consider
pearl current
it's safe to say that you want your BB to always be in the middle for campaign
flat fossil
in middle most of the time bb's can reach suicide boats and kill it before it can ram into your backline
keen sky
another question: are subs of consequence? I have so far not really bothered with them a lot
pearl current
if you already cleared lv65 then it's pointless toraise i-58
can just skip it whenever you need to do the supply line
as in skip battle
not skip it
keen sky
i am not super sure, but i think i did lvl 65 this week, i will check monday
also: meowficers.
I don't really get them. I did get every and teach from the pirate ship event like 2 months ago, and they seem really strong opposed to any other i have, so do i just put them on my first fleet and not think about it?
pearl current
yeah you can do that
they are good meowfficers
you still want to raise more, because you have 2 fleets
keen sky
yeah, i have some, but only generic ones
pearl current
check /cats for more faq regarding meowfficers, the one by riceist
keen sky
keen sky
yuh, nothing super interesting other than every and teach
i guess BB buffs are good probably, faction buffs arent
pearl current
yes, faction buff is shit
though it's usually pretty limited to several relevant meowfficers
for BB there are antenna, lime, oscar
for CV bishamaru, eagle/jiromaru
for SS Steel+edelweiss/gral
BB you already have Every, so you just need to get a good Oscar
CV you already have Teach, so get good bisha/eagle/jiro
SS you need to get steel and edel/gral, no good tempesta for sub
keen sky
for now, is it better to put teach and every on one of the fleets to have one proper good one?
pearl current
yes
keen sky
aight
keen sky
i see
pearl current
put every and teach for your mob fleet in operation siren too
you'll get better rewards from lv20+ gold cats
max them if possible
it will take a long time
keen sky
put every and teach for your mob fleet in operation siren too
i think i already have, but i will check
i havent been doing mobbing and boss fleets so far, tbh
just one "super fleet" that does everything
probably why i am struggling
yeah, i have it in opsi
pearl current
sandy isn't really a tank, and lindompaohaodaoisd is kinda shit DD
keen sky
i know
but i think she's cute and i wanted to field her, but i already noticed she's shit sadly
still, i have no problem clearing opsi at all so i'll just keep it like that
pearl current
sure, they are your highest level ships anyway
just replace them when your better ships are max lv
keen sky
aye
i am really struggling with your guide cause i don't have any of the guns they recommend xD
are two gold catapults good on CV?
how do i even get all the ship specific guns?
like here?
i don't have any of those
or not enough at least
pearl current
if you click on them they will guide you to the gear page and where to get them from
most of the budget on 3rd/4th/5th best come from techboxes
keen sky
and i shouldnt push any of those to 11+, right
pearl current
yes
use /plus13 or ask in gph on what to +13
in your current progress you do not need to +13 anything. nor you have the gear that is worth to +13 for now
keen sky
aye
if i get enough stuff for a rainbow gear from opsi ressources, which one would you recommend first?
pearl current
wyvern
flat fossil
i think first prio was a wywern
keen sky
and how do i get the special item tokens? should i play opsi manually and do the quests, or can i use the autoplay?
keen sky
okay, got a lot to work on now, thanks for the direction. Epic of you three to help me so expansively! 😄
keen sky
one more question: when i do a comission that needs a level 100 ship and press on auto, it won't choose a level 100 ship. is that a general problem, or does that not sound familiar?
pearl current
your lv100 ship is probably in your fleet formation
keen sky
nope, not all of them. I specifically freed some up from any formation and still it doesn't pick them. Portland and Helena.
And btw. seems to work like a charm for now. Not even taking damage from stages. Cheers, peeps!
pearl current
nope, not all of them. I specifically freed some up from any formation and still...
then check guild operation. if they are there, it won't be selected for commissions either
