Fast military ranks gaining
Build your Base of Operations
Want to gain military ranks fast and with lots of fun? Here is the guide.
In previous Evochron games (Evochron Mercenary and much older Evochron Legends) the only way to build your military career was doing missions in War Zones. In Evochron Legacy there are more possibilities for this.
You need to pilot civilian frame with mining beam (preferably metal mining beam because you will build a lot), deploy constructor, build constructor and 10 cargo bays. The key is to build a military base in Vonari controlled region of space and get military missions there.
There are dozens (if not hundreds) of star systems in the triangle area limited by Sierra, Talison, Cerulean with 50% Vonari controll. I explored and discovered a lively system with paradise planet: oxigen, water, plants, animal life, good weather conditions. It has everything to settle in except one: Vonari. There was also an asteroid field nearby in an empty space sector (proximity to the planet is about 10 sectors) where I built a huge hidden industrial complex to avoid Vonari attention. I raised the economy level to 100 and returned to the planet. In the planet’s orbit I built a space station (of course with defenses) and a ground base (with a lot of turrets around it). Well, actually ocean base right on the water but not far from the shore (to have access to the metal ore and fishing just for fun).
Fight and watch your six
Take military missions on your ground base:
– they have 25% reward bonus for combat in atmosphere,
– the Vonari ships are much better at speed and manoeuvrability to the human ships and in open space they decimate allied ships almost without any effort using superiority in speed and agility. In atmosphere they loose their superiority and have to limit their speed and maneuvers. Just flight in Leviathan with maximum armour and energy cores. Weapon and Engeneer officers on board are welcome for more firepower and fast repairs.
– still very often the Vonari take the upper hand in combat even in atmosphere so turn away, set your IDS multiplier up to X5 to maintain your ship’s speed a bit below 3000 to outrun missiles and LURE the Vonari into your Defenses!
Get rewarded
Have I told you that doing contracts in Vonari controlled space which is not necessary WZ raise your military rank?
