Assets
Assets are special rules that allow factions to upgrade systems and fleets, or trigger specific effects in different game situations.
Acquiring Assets
Unlocking Assets from the Asset Marketplace: The most accessible way is to unlock assets from the Asset Marketplace, by paying the cost, and meeting the requirement of a specific asset. The cost can be any combination of Credits, IP, and RP, while the requirement can vary a bit more. Usually the requirement is other assets, or a build meeting a specific XP threshold.
Earning Assets: Another way of achieving assets is by earning them through game challenges, like prices in Limited Time Challenge or Episodes.
Finding Assets: Assets can be hidden on systems throughout the galaxy. The first Faction to establish an Outpost on a system with a hidden asset, uncovers and claims the asset.
Asset Types
Upgrade
Upgrades are Assets that improve the capability of your builds, as long as the upgrade is assigned to that build. An upgrade could be stronger shields for your starships, or expanded capacity at your farms etc. To add an Upgrade you must pay the Cost of the Upgrade, as well as fulfill any specific Requirements.
Action
An Action Asset can be played with instant effect or change to a game situation. An action could be a defensive maneuver in space combat, or a one-time pass through restricted space. Action Assets cannot be bought, these assets have to either be earned through challenges, or found on systems throughout the galaxy.
Item
Items are physical objects, pieces of equipment, devices, artifacts, or relics. Items hold special abilities or effects. Some items are set-items that unlock even greater powers when all collected and combined. Items cannot be bought, these assets have to either be earned through challenges, or found on systems throughout the galaxy.
