Assets
Assets are special add-ons that allow Factions to upgrade Systems and Starfleets, or trigger effects in different game situations. There is no limit on how many Assets you can have on a System. Effects to do stack unless stated otherwise.
Asset Types
Upgrade
Improves your Starfleets and Systems when assigned to them. To activate the Asset, you must pay the Cost, as well as fulfill its listed Requirements. Assigned Upgrades do not take up Cargo Bays.
Action
An instant effect or one-off modifier. Once used, it is spent – as such they are cheaper and most useful in higher quantities.
Item
Items are physical objects, pieces of equipment, devices, artifacts, or relics found on systems throughout the galaxy. Items hold special abilities or effects. Some items are set-items that unlock even greater powers when all collected and combined.
