So heads up guys that I've updated the subscription system to be able to give "Credits" now.
We will be adding "Buy Now" buttons as well, so if you don't want a subscription for your credits, you'll be able to buy them when you want very soon.
PLEASE NOTE - THERE IS NO WAY TO SPEND CREDITS IN-GAME YET! We are adding the ability to buy enhancements at the star-ports in-game, but this is still in development.
So far, the plan is for all enhancements you will be able to buy will also be available as drops from other ships. However, I can't promise this will always be true in the future. We will see how things go with the micro-payment route and make adjustments as necessary.
If you had a subscription previously, you will notice that your account has already been credited with 1,000 credits per $1 you've paid for your subscriptions.

cool!
I have one question though, will credits be transferable between players? like the prior version of credits. [ This Message was edited by: JBud on 2010-03-15 00:16 ]

Correct, if you paid Palestar $40 anytime between today and 2001 when we released, you should see 40,000 credits in your profile.

I'm glad we are able to at least get Enhancements in a more conventional way at least. I hate farming.

| All of the above? =P J/K
The credit system was actually just recently re-introduced, It was removed a while back due to being completely useless with the new modification system, they were just brought back to serve a whole new purpose, and are basically a completely diferant statistic, Just has the same name as the old stat. Hope this helps.

At this time no, credits will not be transferable between players.

now to be serious:
are there any prices for enhancements yet ?
for example
1.000 = minor enhancements

Not yet, as of now the system is being worked on, keep in mind this is essentially an economy that is being created here, it is a very sensitive system that needs to be carefully implemented, and may take time.

No, credits can only be attained via donating or purchasing them.

i believe it will be possible to gain credits by selling enhancements dropped from other ships, perhaps selling resources. Atleast thats what i heard draf say.
