Does vault level increase rank? It seems to be absurdly overpriced.

Yes it does just like virus lvl increases rank as well. It's very expensive but worth it when you get a lot of money to make sure it doesn't get taken. That's why you see a lot of people put in their message that they have a very high lvl vault.

I also just keep spending my money on mhz first since I get attacked a lot. My mhz is much higher than my kbps.

Normal. My kbps is 2/3 of mhz yet I am ranked 40 spots higher in kbps.

I have a 4 to 1 ratio in terms of mhz to kpbs, yet only a 60 rank difference.
 
From Chat.

According to my calculations that means he has 122 of them. Geez. That's crazy! He is ranked 10th for Mhz.

At your level there are larger differences in total vs. rank.

Ignore the exact numbers I'm throwing out here, but say at rank 300 to go up one rank of mhz or kbps you may only need a 1-2K but going up one from rank 100 would require 50K. That leaves more room for variance in ratios, though I am surprised to see that big a difference....

You say defense is normal, but I stacked attack until recently. I still have more kpbs than mhz, and I didn't ignore virus. I upgraded as I felt I could afford it w/o being vulnerable or sacking my attack /defense. I got rank 6 virus about half way through the day, and averaged ~16K/tick (estimating high). That's 384000 credits, I looted 848,493 and it was an average day. I had quite a few "you loot 0 credits", but a couple 100K hits.

Virus isn't even paying for itself yet, but I'm only ~4 days in.

Weird, my Mhz rank is just a few spots below you.

Ya, it just shows mhz is much "denser" in terms of rank than kpbs. Much harder to progress up the ranks. Perhaps that is why my actual overall rank is not improving, I'm dumping most of my money into mhz and not moving up as much as a comparable kpbs increase would do. 🙁
 
Level 7 virus...I think if I sold a TON of my mhz and kbps I could upgrade to 8, but I dont think its worth it atm.

What do you mean? Upgrading your vault? Perhaps I should try that.

It doesn't seem worth it at first as you're spending more than it saves, but at max it can save over 1million credits so it's worth it in the long run.

Who and how high ranked? We ATOT members should get together and coordinate attacks and such, especially on the top 2 crews.

Yep, I have it up to 17 now. Last tick I gained 5 ranks just from that.

yeah i'm up to 17 now too. still need more tho. In my opinon the vault pays for itself in increased revs ( you lose fewer machines to attacks) and less loss of credits.


I don't get hit very much any more. When I do get hit it seems random. last three days worth:
