I see there are many things I can do to improve myself. I can hire workers, I can attack for more biofarms. I can mine at a planet in the galaxy. So whats the best thing to do?
I have 3,500 segents and 4,000,000,000 workers getting me 1,500,000 cash each time. So what I don't understand is what is the best thing to do, should I concentrate in one area, or should I do a little of everything

ok, how much power, and what type of ship works best?
I would like to know...
1) say for a 1% mission power, how much fleet power do I need to not take too many losses and end up recieving insurance?
2) Should I use an attacking or a defencive ship
3) Should I use swarmers or a big power ship? Or does it not matter?
4) How many differant fleets should I use. Just the one? Or should I get many and spread the power? Or even many and keep the power at the top?

In the long run, your secret base is the most important.
If you have a big ship, 1 - 20% missions shouldn't kill your ship. You should win all missions if you have 3 fleets. Use equal attack and Hp, no defense.
Using a swarm could help or screw you over depending on mission hardness and number of ships you lose

it won't kill it until you reach a higher power in the game. once you get up towards the top ten's current power, missions will become very hard.

quite a bit. They're not AS powerful, but swarmers are practically useless now. the main thing for SSs is he lowered the max abs to 80%, which defeats the purpose of having such a big ship.

So what is a big power ship?
I have one with 2,500,000 power. I that big enough? I was given the design so I think its ok in that way

80% happened last round though? I remember that. And yes swarms suck now...
2.5mil is nothing bud, but keep redesigning it slightly higher and higher and you'll get there....

powerships have little to do with their base power. it has to do with their power to cost ratio. for instance, if your 2.5 mil powership costs 25 million, it has a power to cost ratio of 1:10, power to cost. which is good, but not best. the highest base ratio I have is about 1 power to 1.5 cost  |

With a mere twenty-five systems, you can get an easy 1 : 2.08 ratio.

yea, but a 1:1.5 is better. Basically, just tamper with a design till it works well.
