Credits are a temporary resource in Everspace. There are several ways to obtain and spend them throughout the game. At the end of a run - regardless of how it ended - credits can be spent on unlocking/buying Perks, or unlocking the other ships in the hangar. Unspent credits are lost upon beginning a new run.

While in the hangar and the in-game equipment menu, the current amount of credits can be seen in the bottom left corner of the screen. While in third-person, the current amount of credits is shown below the fuel at the top right of the screen. In the first-person view, it is shown in the center section of the cockpit's hud, on the right.

Obtaining credits

Credits can be obtained by:

  • Looting dropped credits from destroyed ships
  • Looting from various wrecks and derelicts (sometimes found randomly adrift in space).
  • Looting containers
  • Completing missions for certain Characters
  • Completing random G&B missions
  • Selling resources to traders and service stations
  • Scanning Wrecks
  • Completing challenges
  • Scanning Extraplanetary Lifeforms
  • At the end of a run, a credit bonus is awarded based on the sector reached:
    • $500 per sector on easy, $800 per on normal, and $1,000 per on hard.

Looted credit amounts can be increased with the Credit Loot Bonus perk (up to 50% increase).
