Chronitons

[Deleted User]

What is the most amount of chronitons does one player have? What is highest or lowest amount chronitons did you have?

Once I had 40,000 chronitons, the maximum I had, and people went crazy that I hacked and brought an account from someone else.

I see that people have more chronitons than me, but they don't get accused, so what gives. I see people having 30k to 40k chronitons on these forums.

So, what is the most amount of chronitons have had while playing this game?

What is the best way to get 40k chronitons? Is it through Chronitons boosts offered during the week or other offers? Does Starbase bonuses also boost chronitons?

Best way to stockpile chrons is through voyages IMO. I’ve never been above 20K myself.

I hit 16 thousand by saving, but blew half on last event and leveling a half dozen crew. I usually maintain about 4 thousand in case an event comes up that I really want.

Here's a screen shot from another thread in the forum:


I don't know why someone would accuse you have hacking or what not to get 30-40k chronotons. Chrons are extremely easy to come by these days. Voyages have made them all but worthless.

Webberoni

By playing a minimum number of missions to achieve all the daily requirements, while making good use of ad-warp, it's pretty easy to average around at least 1k chrons a day once you're able to complete 8-hour voyages. I've never been above more than 7-8,000, but it would be easy to stockpile vast amounts relatively quickly, if that was your goal.

I should let Banjo speak for himself, but I believe he had somewhere over 100k when he made his run in the Guinevere Kira Galaxy event.

Sybok MKII

I went up to 45k once, short before Voyages were put in action.
I managed to get to that amount simply by keeping leveling at minimum, stockpiling all the daily chron that came from cadet missions and grinding ADS bonuses...
That amount of chron (and almost an entire weekend of continuous play) gave me my personal best score in a Galaxy event (fifth position).
After Voyages, I simply considered that stockpiling above 20/25k would be a waste of time in order to achieve the same result.

As far as what other people think, you know how you got your resources, and know it was all legit. Anyone that wants to whine about it can pound sand.

I never drop below 2K anymore, but rarely go above 9K.

I have never been able to understand why so many people have elected to stockpile chrons like this at the expense of losing chrons acquired over time. Those who have all of their crew FE and don’t pre-farm Galaxy events...fine. Anyone else is giving up 240 chrons per day, or over 86,000 chrons per year. Although Voyages have made them easy to acquire in vast quantities, you can do a lot of stuff with 86,000 extra chrons.

If you can generate 700-800 chrons per day (independent of chron recharge), you have the potential to get significantly more out of them by funneling them through a supply kit. 600 Chrons allow you to run a 4 cost mission 150 times. If it costs 3, you can run 200 (33% increase).

Edit: A supply kit also allows you to get significantly more credits. For something like a galaxy event, you also get to farm exactly what you need, not what you think you'll need.

For the Kira galaxy event I had 158,000 chronitons saved

Did he (You, Banjo if you've arrived in this thread now) win that event ?
How much of that pile did you have left after ?

AviTrek

I agree. If people have fully equipped their crew, I still don't understand why they don't pre-farm. I want that 240/accrual. I've pre-farmed to the point that I'm equipping 5* with almost no farming at this point.

158,000. I used every last one of them and I came in second place. That still stings. You think with that much you got it in the bag. Nope. First place got me by about 300,000 VP

I will probably never use up my chronitons. I was at 100,000 before this past event and spent around 8000. I have long been thinking of going for a top 5 finish but after hearing the time involved I'm not sure I will.

I like having vast stockpiles of stuff in games so that if I ever decide I want something or want to do something I can.

It is a HUGE commitment. I spent the entire weekend tapping away.

Frank?

Who are you hanging out with that thinks 40k chrons is hacking?

They'd die if they saw SilverRose's account - not for chrons, but DIL and portal packs on hand.

Also you asked and I haven't seen anyone answer yet - the least amount of chrons I've ever had? Zero.

Frank?

Oh.
Nevermind.
I looked at your post history.

It was the very people in this thread that called foul of your first post back in December asking us how to immortalize a crew - on an account with immortal golds and 360 crew slots.

It's good to have you back buddy!

@Banjo1012
Would have won the event if he was with a fleet that had a 5% boost to base stat.
He was not with fleet with his run for first. Figure for every 100 builds he did he would have had 5 more superrares. What he did was quite a feat.

Plus, he's missing out on 100 chrons/day from dailies.

16k chronitons. Wow. The max I ever got was 50k. The supply event surely drains all the chronitons if you’re trying for the top five.

Thanks mate. I’m glad to have a friend like you.

Wow. 60 thousand chronitons. Hope he still have the same amount.

Thanks man. I faced some odds against me, a few too many to overcome.

I wish they would go back to the good old days when you had to wait 5 minutes? to get enough chronitons to try and farm a 1* ID code.

elemntee

Upon reflection, I don't wish that would happen, it was **tsk tsk**.

Yes, times were tough back then

So if you collect all your daily chrons you will average 300 chrons, add in a voyage and you should average 750/day without the chron refresh. That would let you run 250 4 chron missions with a supply kit, however if you need to run 6 or 10 chron missions your efficiency drops a lot,

If you use your chrons, you will pull down an extra 240 for 990 chrons/day or right about 250 4 chron missions, but many more 6 or 10 chron missions then if you used a kit. Both are efficient, I think saving vs farming comes down to preference and the types of missions you need to run.

I choose to save and do the missions during the galaxy event. That way you can maximize what you need. Say I have 100 extra databases but no hyperspanners left. If I have my chrons I can get 100 hyperspanners. If that’s what I have after farming and have no chrons left then I just hit a wall

I have 74K ATM. I have no desire to put in the time/effort it takes to win a galaxy or skirmish event (and I won't use a macro) so they just kind of pile up over time.

Seven of One

My fleet admiral saves chrons, not because he plans to, but because he just has nothing to spend them on anymore. During an event he tends to equip everything within about 3 minutes. For the veteran players in my fleet they say honor is more valuable to them now, rather than chrons.

I save chrons, mainly voyages, but cadet missions and fleet bonus help. I don't pre-farm a galaxy event, because I end up spending everything I have just farmed (I have absolutely no willpower) the most I saved was 8000, and that was only last week. I'm hopeful that once I start hitting those 8 hour voyages I'll be able to bank a few more.

I actually save chrons for skirmish, then I put on a supply kit and go daft. I can't prefarm a skirmish, so saving chrons is a must. I don't have bucketloads of money, but I have a lot of free time, so skirmish is where I put in the most effort because I can level up crew at the same time, for free practically.
