CreditsCredits are the monetary unit used in Astro Empires, and are the basis of the game's economy. Credits are used to build structures and defenses on bases, to set up trade routes, to produce fleet (ships), and to invest in researching new technologies.Credits are received every hour on the hour, based on the total economy of a player's empire. There are three main methods of increasing the amount of credits gained: building structures to improve an individual base's economy, establishing trade routes between bases, and occupying the bases of another player's. In addition, a player can also gain more credits by recycling debris left at an astro after ships are destroyed, plundering trade routes, and by pillaging bases that have been conquered, or by scrapping ships or base structures that have been previously built. The main goal of Astro Empires is to optimize the resources at each base so as to efficiently improve them and use them to expand one's empire, by conquering other bases or by building new bases, and thus to increase one's credit income. Diplomacy and treaties as Alliances and Mutual Defense Pacts are good ways to achieve this objective. |
