Hello, fellow Pirates.
  It has been awhile since I last posted, but I have not forgotten the struggles we are all going through.
In the modern game, it is often forgotten how the lower level/new players have to fight against the new tech. Fear not! You can do it!. Lol, Sorry, my enthusiasm got the better of me. lol.
  Always remember first and foremost, all of us higher levels were there once too. In this blog and all of Specs and Georges to you will find many useful hints and tricks to maximize your playing experience. You will get frustrated at times and wanna give up. Don't! The best is yet to come as you will get better and stronger. Even noncoiners can be tough! I have a few easy low tech builds for ya that can do allot of the camps, raids, and weeklies. With these builds, try and max out your retro on the specials, weapons, and hulls that you build. Most are 1-day retro's and low on Uranium till you get higher in the retro.
  This first build is for the raid set we are entering. There will be several hulls to choose from to build. You will need high as you can get explosive and concussive defense. These particular hulls are for lower level with research tech and one with some advanced tech for those that have the Nighthawk will have a few of the newer things.


   First is the specters. This is an extended surface and dive time sub. But do not let it fool you, it is a tough s.o.b. Specs has a single one that can do a 30 reaver like you will see in the raids. As always and with all hulls, use the best for what you have.

  The next are the cudas. They have a shorter surface time but also a shorter dive time. The significant advantage is the repair and build times are low. And as the specters, they do well with research/low tech.

  And lastly is the Nighthawk. These are for more of the upper low-level players. I you have these, you probably have some of the newish techs. This hull is a longer dive time than the cudas and longer surface time than the specters. It has more firepower and pretty durable, but not at tough as the specters.

  There are options for lower level players. When in doubt, just ask. And always remember that we are here to help you enjoy the game.

  Always remember, Keep the retro lab BUSY!. Lol get your retro's up and the hulls and their abilities only get better.
