Credit
Template:Infobox block/Credit Credits are the currency of the Starmade universe. They are the only currency available, so all Trading Guild and player owned shops accept it. They are not subject to inflation or deflation, however the price of items can change from server to server.
While it is technically possible to build an empire without using any credits, it is much easier to utilize trading.
Usage
The most common use for Credits is to buy and sell materials from Shops. Typically, one will mine and sell ore in exchange for credits, then use the profits to buy manufactured goods. This method is considered more efficient than manufacturing in the measure of ore to product.
1,000,000 credits are required to build a station, and keep in mind this only spawns a single basic block, the materials to build the station come from elsewhere.
Crew can be bought for 50,000 credits each from Advanced shops.
