I don’t recognize your name so I don’t know what level you are at. In general, if I were you, I would build up my defense and the engineering. Don’t pay too much attention to the attacking other players option. It would probably be helpful if you could add another citizen account so you could bootstrap them both and increase both account levels.
Of course, I got in early and started five accounts. My main account and the investment account I bought citizenship right away and then added three more Hive accounts dedicated to only terracore. In any case, I wish you good fortune.
