P5 i think this post is gonna hurt unexperianced players more than help, my advise is to leave a couple ships behind to kill builders as they spawn and advance your capitol ship with the fleet if you have a cap with vital lvl 6 ability.

so many times players will ask me (to include [DT]s and [_] and various other skilled players) "Tyr!? howd you get planet suction so fast!?" i always say this and im a huge advocate of microing your cap for maximum expiance to include only useing 1 as vasari and never leaving it behind to bomb planets and letting the fleet continue on scoreing kills that yield no exp to a cap

I (hate to say this but its one of my dirty secrets) usually run with a couple of purge vessels following my fleets.

After I get done "cleaning" out a well I will send in the purges to clean the planet as my fleet moves on to bigger, better, and more glorious things.

To keep the purge ships safe they generally come with their own little escort which consists of a drone host and a couple of illuminators.
