Lvl 5 exploration?

Daily Mark of Honor (1 measly per day?)

I want to farm for best gear, but i'm confused what my strategy should be. Any advice on what to farm, who to buy from please?

    This i my best bet for buying endgame gear? So should I buy at K7 or Earth spacedock for MK X items?

    Do pvp or exploration. You can get mk x gear that way really fast. The purples from the btran cluster are only marginally better, so do the daily and save the badges until you can upgrade to a purple shield or whatever. Antiproton weapons are not really worth it.

    dude... seriously?
    you are one of the few RA5s....
    why don't you figure out where the best places are and tell us?
    since the bulk of the population are still working their way up the ranks still..
    this isn't like another MMO that has a player base already installed and knows more because they have been farming forever.

    you can do some work and figure out where the best farming spots are. And tell us. we'll appreciate it.
    I'd guess somewhere in the borg missions though

    Few RAs? Are you insinuating it's early to be an RA5? The Gamma zone is full of them!

    I'm just confused, been traveling back and forth between bases and trying to get the hang of it, but it always seems what I just farmed for isn't what I needed.

    I just want to save some trial and error.

    How are they better than badges?

    Badges and marks are exactly the same, buy the same equipment for the same prices. Though they don't stack with each other.
    Still, the best bet is do earn both.

    I've been farming and I can tell you that the only decent gear is the Mark X or Epic gear that you get from farming exploration badges.

    Does good loot drop? sure, but it's hardly worth the effort when for a 10 minutes a mission you can get enough badges to equip out your T5 pretty well to max.

    And that's the problem. No endgame to speak of. Yah the epics are ok, but 40 days to max out your ship- for what? Will the raids be worth it? And then what? More purple loot to get more purple loot?

    We need some more interesting endgame content, like an open server to flagged PVP or some factional content, otherwise those missions where you kill 5 of something is going to get dreary pretty fast- and if I wanted a raid game I'd go to WOW.

    Too easy to level, too easy to play....for such a great combat engine and graphic interface, I'm beginning to get worried about the longevity of this game.
