This will be your early bread-winner and is some of the fastest and most fun money to be made, which will then open access to buy new ships, new loadouts and get into other activities in the game loop.

Our early goal will be ship-combat bounty hunting missions. Then complete the new player onboarding checklist to finalize it, download the game and get ready to enter the ‘verse! Once you’ve decided on your package/pledge, create your account and make your purchase. Rental Equipment Credits (REC) is a currency earned in the Arena Commander (Ship Battles) to rent and use new ships, loadouts that don’t carry over into the open world game.Sometimes it can be rolled-back, given out, retracted or reset entirely in a wipe. Alpha-United Earth Credits (aUEC) are the more liberal in-game currency that is used primarily in this alpha version of the game.Think of it as ‘hard’ money to spend in-game and will carry over between wipes and when the full game goes live United Earth Credits (UEC) are tied to a pledge and will be available to users for purchases every time there is a wipe.What is UEC, aUEC and REC? These are game currencies.Most often, the biggest perk aside from discount is a significantly longer ship insurance window where you can reclaim the ship for free in-game when it is inevitably destroyed. Store credits can be awarded from subscriptions, events, codes, other packages etc. What does Warbond mean? Warbond tags on a package means that this package is discounted and can only be purchased with real money, and not in-store credits.There are a few terms you will see when browsing for packages: NOTE: You can buy any ship with in-game currency, you just have to grind it and if/when the servers are (seldomly) wiped, only your pledge(d) ships survive, meaning you’ll have to earn those in-game purchases again. I suggest that the best starter ship is the Aurora MR because it has enough firepower to get you pretty far into bounty progression, has a living/storage interior which means it will accommodate the majority of game activities and can easily launch you into earning enough for ship progression. But we can make all of this simple: the cheapest package (read: pledge) is $55 USD – they often have sales, so keep an eye out – and there are a few options.
