Skills
The skill tree with six branches and five rows. Where skill points come from and how the next rows open.
You spend skills in the launcher in the skill tree. Every skill level costs skill points and adds a percentage to your ship's stats. Skills apply to all your ships.
Skill points
- From levels: 1 point right at level 1, then 1 point for every 3 levels, up to level 30.
- From galaxy gates: a completed Nexus or Fracture gives 1 point, a Singularity 2 points, only for the first 5 completions of each gate. Gates give 20 points in total.
The tree can be reset at any time, the spent points come back and you can spend them again.
Rows
Every branch has five rows. The first row is open from the start. The next row opens in all branches at once as soon as you have at least one skill of the previous row at its maximum level. The last skill of each branch costs more points per level.
Branches
- Lasers – laser damage and hit chance.
- Rockets – rocket damage.
- Shields – shield capacity, recharge and absorption.
- Hull – max HP and HP repair.
- Agility – evasion.
- Hunting – damage against monsters (does not apply to players) and more cargo.
6 branches, 5 rows, the whole tree maxed costs 78 skill points.
