Earning Points
The Factions game use four different kinds of points and currency. These four are earned and spend differently, and are used in different game situations.
Experience Points
Credits
Influence Points
Resource Points
Experience Points
Points earned by every Entry equal to its Score.
XP is tied to the individual player – earning 200 is a prerequisite for creating your own Faction.
Credits
Credits are the in-game currency used to make purchases and trade with other Factions. Your Faction earns them equal to the build Score x1000. A 5 XP Entry earns 5.000 Credits.
Credits are located on the System their Entry was submitted to and can be moved using Starfleets and certain Assets.
Influence Points
Political intrigue, negotiations, occupation – Factions earn IP to establish a presence on a System and to Control it.
Your Faction earns IP equal to the Score of an Entry. An Entry cannot earn both IP and Resource Points – the Faction Leader decides which to earn.
IP can only be earned on Systems your Faction has Access to (see Galaxy Map).
IP cannot be moved from the System it was posted to without special Assets.
Resource Points
Excavating ore, factory production, hauling cargo and growing crops – RP is used to power Starfleets and purchase powerful Assets.
Your Faction earns RP equal to the Score of an Entry.. An Entry cannot earn both RP and Influence Points – the Faction leadership decides which to earn.
RP is located on the System where its Entry was submitted to unless moved by a Starfleet or Asset.
Judging
Each Entry is submitted for judging by the relevant Faction Leader.
The judging panel is composed of Faction Leaders. Your Entry’s Score is the average of scores given by every judge.
Generally, Judges prioritize build quality, creativity and clever piece use. Secondary factors may include presentation, storytelling, and adherence to Star Wars lore. Each Judge is expected to subjectively score a build based on their own criteria for what makes a good Factions MOC.
All players can look at previous posted Scores in the Public Data. [LINK]
