Credits are the primary method of obtaining goods and services in Career Mode. Certain multiplayer PvP modes also utilize credits indirectly (e.g., for a limit on ship budgets). Every resource has a credit value associated with it; the sell value depends on the Economic Difficulty chosen, whereas the purchase value is fixed. All Parts also have a credit value, this is the sum of all resources used in its construction.
Game Mechanics
Credits can be obtained by:
- Completing Missions and then turning them in, most often to the original station.
- Selling resources - whether mined, salvaged, or constructed in a factory - to friendly NPC Stations or Ships.

Credits are used for:
- Purchasing resources, again from friendly NPC stations or ships.
- Purchasing Blueprints from stations.
- Hiring Crew from stations or friendly NPC ships (up to your Fame limit).
- During ship construction or repair, if you are in range of a station and they have the resources available, the appropriate resources will be automatically purchased.
