U mentioned all the possible ways. If u turn off the auto cr u could go into the next mission at risk to be stasis locked very quickly or be lucky and ur faction wins the mission so u get more € and cr wouldnt affect u that much.

yea i dont know how many people are at a similar point in their hmw lives, but im bleeding money at a ferocious rate. surely something can be done to help raise funds, other than resetting back to level one? i kno im upgrading my guys to level 2 a bit early, but theyre coping out ok, but im breaking even, not making anything, havent upgraded armor in a while. not asking for advice, just seeing if anyone else is in my shoes?

At least you're more or less breaking even. I'm draining my energon account dry to the tune of about 10k a week. This is the first week in about 7 weeks that my overal total has been a gain instead of a loss but it was only a 3k gain and my actual weekly accounting isn't done yet.
I think I was actually making alot more energon when most of my bots were level 3, but I'm making alot more in experience with more of them at level 4.

I keep seeing people saying this stuff ,but my energon steadily grows. One thing to look at if you are doing multi-lvl missions check who is in the mission, if the other all max lvl and yours all min lvl don't join. If your char. is barely a 2nd lvl don't join lvl2-4 missions that sort of thing.

I think it's more that the RNG hates me and has hated me since I upped my levels as I tend to try to watch where I'm putting my bots and so on. *shrugs*

This is one of the best pieces of advice out there.
You really have to watch where you're putting your bots. If you've JUST levelled up to level 2, stick to the 1-2 missions for a little while, get a couple of upgrades then move to the 2-3 missions. ONLY go into something like a 1-10 every now and then, don't make a habit of it.
Simply put, know where your bot is strong and where they'll do the most good. The best way to save energon is to cut down your cr chamber costs and the best way to do that is to find missions where you will dominate, NOT be a liability.

yea i kno, but its mad annoying waiting for a mission to arrive! i mean say u put 3 into missions, fair enough, then uv to wait a while for another one to load up or for sonic wastes to go away! its impatience i know, but hey im impatient. that being said, when i do take my time, i think im making about a hundred, 200 hundred tops a day. that means by the end of the week i can afford a ton of iron... yay..
ah, ill do what i always do, wait for something to happen to the game!

Yeah, but Goribus would hog all the Arcee/Ariel-type Omnicons.

I was thinking of his Flamewar addiction, but that works too.

Personally i'm not draining my energon its not just choosing your missions carefully but making sure that your bots are set up well so you can get the most energon and xp out of your fights.

One thing to try would be maybe to move 2 or 3 of your characters back down to level 0 for a bit to be energon generators for you. Their CR costs are free which might be an option for you. Maybe for 2 weeks you have two of your characters generate energon for you, then rotate them out.
You could try this, or just stop gambling (like Lois or Marge).
