I’m at a similar point. But am also missing Core Computing 8 & 9. Did you complete them before the rebalance? I have ~2e6 compute component bonus from Base2 and am far away from finishing CC8. I used max-1 weapons and can upgrade them to level 110. I can’t see a way to progress significantly further…

Also base carry seems to be partially broken. I usually have boosts in a checkerboard pattern. When I for example have a battle mult bossted by 3 and one boosted by 2 boosters. If I change the one bossted by 2 to a battle/shield building, the boost will increase although it should have been lowered. This is not a penalty issue. The penalty doesn’t change.

I completed almost everything before the rebalances, my base2 is lower. I think your issue may be weapon choice, don't be afraid to retrofit to other weapons nor forget to use your reactor.

for base carry I went base1 optimized for damage base2 optimized for battle mult base 3 max penalty reduction + battle mult. trusting outranging the enemies + 2 deflectors to do the trick, which worked for me till 4/6 after which I just didn't have enough damage output. And now my base improvements are in the realm of years for 1&2.

For core computing 8 you'll need to be able to basically max the 2.0 weapons. 9 is "possible" at the moment but is not actually realistically doable as there's just not quite enough compute power/speed in the game at the moment to achieve it in a reasonable amount of time.

is base carry 5 "possible"?

I just finished CC8 by abusing supportive routing and having 9x Improved tracking. Is it possible to get >10x in the challenge?

Thanks for the game, it’s really amazing.

yeah improved tracking will scale forever just at a reduced rate. So you could theoretically sit there and farm it for a couple of days and get another completion done probably.

To better phrase the question: Is the softlimit 10x or is it 100x because of the challenge? It scaled quite a bit faster then usual, maybe 10x faster.

the normal soft limit is +100%, the soft limit in the challenge is thugs +1000% or 10x. or at least I'm pretty sure it is. You can tell if you're at the soft limit or not by going to the stats and info screen and then looking at statistics and wave clears. It soft caps at 1000 wave clears, so if you have less than that it's a a ways to go yet to the soft cap

The normal soft limit is 1x; it's 10x in CC.

Each wave gives 0.1%/.001x normally, or 1%/.01x in CC. The soft limit is 1000 both in and out of CC.
