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 [[Player ships|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 [[Trader|traders]] and [[Service Station|service stations]]
* Scanning [[Wreck|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).
== Spending credits ==
During a run, credits can be used to:
* Purchase [[Resources]] and [[Equipment]] from [[Trader|Traders]] and [[Service Station|Service Stations]]
* Repair hull HP and buy fuel from Service Stations
* Buy ship upgrades from [[G&B Factories]]
