Generator and Lab CPU's

User ID: 39184617

I have a few questions about those 2 cpu's. As for generator cpu:

1. How much does it use at a time?
2. What the max it uses at a time?
3. Which generator will it upgrade, shields or engines?
4. By some chance should i only have 1 promerium and no other ores, which will it upgrade, shields or engines?

As for Lab:

1. How much does it use at a time?
2. What the max it uses at a time?
3. If i have a the which boosts both lasers and rockets will it upgrade both?
4. By some chance should i only have 1 promerium and no other ores, which will it upgrade, lasers or rockets?

Thanks for help.

1.I would think it splits all of the promerium that you have between them both,
2.As from the last one the max amount of ore you have,
3.Taken from the description of the cpu "Automatically gives your generators" so it does both as it says generators and not genereator,
4.I would think speed generators as they are befor the sheilds.

1.As the generator cpu the max amount avaible,
2.Same as the answer to question 1 the max avaible,
3.Yes it will boost rrockets and lasers,
4.I would say lasers as they are before rockets,
Hope this helped,

IMHO both of these CPUs are waste of resources and slot space! It's much easier to manage your resources via the LAB screen depending on how much time you're going to spend in game and what you plan on doing (killing NPCs or fighting in BTMs). As such all your questions seem irrelevant - it's waste of time just to even think about using those CPUs.

I have both cpu's but only use one of them.

I find that the one for the generators keeps both my engines and shields prommed up nicely for 100 minutes each. (10 ores at a time) However, I do not like how the lab cpu for weapons seems to work. I have watched the screen messages scroll by while I have been sitting at a port telling me that the rockets are being upgraded, but not the lasers. I've had literally thousands of rocket shots upgraded and no (nothing, 0, ziltch) upgrades to lasers.

The mods all tell me that its because the lasers are used more, but I don't think its really the case. Like I said, I've been sitting at a port and just chatting while the cpu has continuously upgraded the rockets and not the lasers.

I find that I can kill most NPC's without any upgrades with very little problems. I only need the upgrades in battle against other players.

SO my suggestion to you is to use the one for the generators, but leave the one for the weapons off your ship. In the heat of battle its very frustrating to loose because you forgot to upgrade your shields....
