Recovery is twice as expensive.

Other than that, you also do a lot more damage with higher stats, so that mostly covers the higher recovery costs. And you can always go in the arena if you're really wanting energon...

Right now, the worst part is that stats become immensely expensive(16,000 for a stat raise is obscene)

And other then the fluke bug(Which I know one of my cons has been hit...though nowhere near the 10K or anything)...you gain experience at a snail's pace...hopefully there will be ways for 1st levels to gain 1000 XP/1000 energon missions, because at level 5 for either Skill or Firepower....you'll need it.

Build up either Tactics like Ram or Strafe(depending)...both are immensely powerful, and don't build up levels(sounds odd...but keep level 0 for as long as you can because Tactics give a good amount of XP and in some ways are better then stats...I've won battles through Strafe and have seen many a battle won through Ram)

Also Build up either combos of Skill+Courage or Speed+Firepower.

Strength, Endurance, Intelligence(unless you have the Repair tactic), Rank are not nearly as important mostly because those above effect the hit rate and how many times you hit...and for some they just make you a target(Rank actually makes you the primary target in missions)

Also for said combos above...affect which weapons you choose.

If you go a gun route: You'll need Firepower to get better gun(and they get expensive but very nasty...quickly) but Speed to hit better.

If you go Sword route: You'll need Skill(since it access better swords) but Courage since you never miss with Swords but you need to hit more times then a gun.

Looking at that guy's rocket launcher caused a small bit of fear on my part, but apparantly it has a horrible reload rate, and he missed his shot, so I went hand-to-hand and beat the shit out of him :D

Unless you have enough energon to buy a Photon Eliminator Rifle (50k), you don't have enough.

I've done that before.

On a side note, I NOW HAVE 6 TFs!!! YAY! I'm aiming for eight, but first I'm gonna work on upgrading these 6. 2 are REALLY close to their first upgrade, the rest are varying levels of "really far away"

Hopefully is a good avoid would be a nice offset of attacks.

At level 4 Strafe...each of my cons will strafe a minimal 3-5 characters, with a frequency of 4-5 times per mission.

The p2p elements aren't that much. So far it goes like this: buy TFs, arm them, send them to fight/missions, ignore them, and repair them and so on.

There might be more fun when the "Clan" is activated.

Edit: oh yes, and upgrade them.
