Any tips for the capital stage?

[RaptorSolutions]

I see now is the time I actually need to focus systems to get anything done. I only have compute so far, which seems to take awhile and fixture which I haven't unlocked because I'm clearing out the speed run achievements first.
So... Any tips? Like for compute, what points should I put for my fighters? The farming one's first? My first run to clear 76 didn't go well, but then again I didn't farm anything to upgrade any of my capital systems.

i think syth crafted capital weapon/shield module, and shard was what was required for about 77, then it's fixtures and something else aided with crew unlocks.

As for fighters hav em live so defensive/respawn, then move over into dps, you'd want to one pass 1 colour befor you think about improving drops. you can change those points as much as you want. just get a good compoint going to build up the stats and points.

For defensive, you mean the compute thing you put points in right? Do I want defensive focus or pristine armor first?

[best bulliet target]

yes, the pristine armor or speedy assembly.

Thanks. I mistook the defensive focus for more defense instead of blowing up the enemy defense.

I've got an entire routine setup.

First I get crew to 1.95 (sane people stop at 1.75)

(Swap crew, swap vsynth, swap modules)

Then I calculate until it stops moving at a reasonable speed, and then I let it go a little further.

(Swap crew, swap vsynth, swap moduels, retrofit)

Then I do synth until I've got enough to max out the parts that are reasonable.

(Swap crew, swap vsynth, swap modeuls, retrofit)

Then I view myself as free to work on anything I want

(Swap crew, swap vsynth, swap moduels, retrofit)

End by pushing the space base a little further, while doing fixtures. (also running fixtures anytime I'm not doing synth).

... I'm not feeling that I'm making good progress, but I am feeling that I am getting somewhere. The numbers move up a little time... like ... Simon and his drill.

Little by little, we advance a bit further with each turn. That's how a drill works.

I see. I kinda got that too. Though mainly from how I even got to capitals in the first place. Though I'm swapping around from synth first because compute is what I need to farm apparently.
Well, up to the synth part. Does base matter currently? Or only when I get base 5?

Bases boost compute, and synth, and give you more brute force guns/shield to push forward a little further each time.

The next boost is at 78, (or was it 77?) you really don't have too far to push from compute to the next boost.

But yha, I've got two days of setup to get everything I lose each prestige back, then I spend a little time doing "something", and then I finish off with a dedicated day of base farming.

Sometimes "something" is more of one of the setup steps, sometimes it's base building, sometimes it's research, or shards or *shrug* there's still stuff there to do.

Hrm... I might want to do synth before compute, because I can synth myself to a higher level of compute boost after a day of sitting here.

I'll try it the other way around next time.

[RaptorSolutions]

I'm at 77, not cleared btw. So the thing about base though, is I've already spent a couple days pushing it up with full focus, and so far I haven't gotten anything new that benefits base. So that's why I don't see the point in pushing it further since I've basically pushed it to the edge of what's feasible currently. Perhaps after 77 where I open massive warp I'll get more bonuses then.
