Morn'n,
I'll be getting through the grind soon with my alt so i have few questions for the experienced, wise ones:
What should i make immediately? How many factories should i put up as soon as i can? What should i start to stockpile in terms of resources right now?
I have a vendor and i have tons of pre cu krayt scales and such (hope i can use them) so any info would be much appreicated...
Thanks.
scales go in recon armor. i'd recommend making some nice energy layered recon armor with the scales. you can effectively add +45 health per item if your scales are +15 health
What should you make immediately? Whatever you have good resources for. I'd personally focus on acquiring resources first, and then seeing what numbers you can hit and then evaluating your situation.
High OQ/SR kammris Iron is always nice, it can be used in multiple sub components
High OQ/SR steel is also nice. see above
High OQ/SR/DR hides are nice.
with that all being said, you will want to take a look at the schematics and see what you can feasibly make right now. its not worth making battle armor if you are hitting 4500 resists (6000 is the unsliced cap). you may want to focus on a line of armor and then go from there. I started on battle, then went to assault, and finally got around to doing recon.
take a look at the resources that you will need and evaluate the situation with respect to your needs, and goals.
as for factories, it depends on how much production you figure on doing. assuming the bare minimum, i would recommend at least 3, one for each type of core. maybe a few more if you plan on doing a lot of layered armor.
Krayt scales go in Battle Armor. NS Shards go into Recon Armor. Not sure what is used in Assault Armor.
