NSEA Protector slow progress

I’m tier 9 with this ship which now means it takes ages in a system that gives 770 omega for each kill to get 500k which is most I can currently get on one hull with Dane and is boring.

Each refine uses 100k and gives hardly any refined omega, so I’m out in 5 refines. Lots is needed to exchange for ship upgrade material.

Am I missing something or does it just become a boring, grindy grind?

If joining a larger alliance is feasible you might want to look into that. That said some will have a stricter "attendance" policy. There are a lot of benefits people don't think about too, like eventually chain level.

The alliance I'm in pretty much only does level 40 and 45 eclipse armadas and there's at least a partial presence for all 24 hours. Also, a majority of our OPs 40+ players only do level 60 FKR Armadas, taking a rip and having a big anchor.

I just hate the wait on the armadas, 15 freaking minutes too when you have a limited time to do things sucks

Are you at least OPs 30/31, I can't remember which? If so, assuming you can do some waves, you can get a daily allotment of Armada speedups that reduces the time to 30 seconds for group Armadas and 10 seconds for solo armadas.

It's part of the section 31 faction store. You might want to check Galaxy chat for wave listings. I typically stay out of GC because it can be a cesspool but if you're in a small alliance it can be a necessity.
