Yes that would be fine, thank you.

Any chance of getting me the U2 requirements for Nem & saturn  flagships and all the U3 info?  I am happy to put in all in a chart and will also post a list of what each upgrade rewards you with for reference.


I m going to edit the post with new info as it becomes available - just about to edit it and add some forum links for further info also.

Thanks for work GT2610!
Apart from knowing how many upgrade kits (and buildtime) every level takes, it would be nice to know what every upgrade does.

I am doing a chart for what rewards we get also

Just trying to decide on best way to present it all with out it looking complicated

In reality a chart for each hull that contains all the info for that hull would be good but then we end up with a lot of charts....... and more to come I guess.

Just trying to keep it as simple as I can but will get something posted soon. Can always change it later if I am not happy with the format.



EDIT - Post updated with all the info I have so far

Excellent....I have no idea why KIX couldn't have done this.

Working on getting this information. If anyone else is able to snag all this before I report back, please feel free to share.

This thread should be pinned, in the general forum. Not hidden away in player guides. Even with the re-direct, thats just going to slip of the first page within the week.
Please pin this thread where players can find it easily.

Because there was no money to be made from doing it.

COMING SOON: Upgrade Kits - Inventory

I added a tab in the limited Intel Lab where we can view our inventory of Upgrade Kits in detail.
We can now see how many kits we have and if we need to obtain more, thus eliminating waste.

Threads pinned in General Discussion are reserved for update notes and discussions. Unfortunately, I won't be able to pin this thread there. I've cleaned up this section's pinned threads and put it at the top of the pinned threads. I feel this may be better in garnering attention for a majority of players instead of potentially lost as a regular thread in General Discussion.

What is the U2 mount on top of the Saturn?

If you mean this slot - it unlocks at U2 - CIC slot and U2 also unlocks the 2 free CICs that go on it

Thanks

I would remove the % from the deflection values.

where is current kits listed in game play per hull?

The Amazing Jeff

oh no, all the times change now that the building reductions exist.. with Tech lab level 13 (10% reduction) Rock Saturn U3 is 6d 11hrs ish...

Could data for silver fish and suppressor upgrades be added to the chart

Silverfish and other PVE hulls have followed the original pattern, 10-30-60 and 10-40-80 for flagships - I think the times are probably following also - we now have Intelligence (blueprint) lab upgrades that reduce time on upgrades so that data is now hard to obtain for base level times ect.

Since I don't play much anymore and kix have followed the same pattern with hulls upgrades I have stopped upgrading this post as I thought most have it worked out now but you can still use the above for newer hulls  in PVE.

PVP is a different story - I don't play PVP anymore (just my choice) so I don't get the data to upgrade here. 

If anyone wants to take the post over and continue to update it, I am happy to send you my spreadsheets so you can just added to it - might need to start a new post to give you full access to editing ect. shoot me a pm if anyone is interested.
