Disambig For difficulty in Everspace 2, see Difficulty (ES2).

There are three standard difficulties in Everspace: Easy, Normal, and Hard. There is also Hardcore, which is more like a different mode rather than a fourth difficulty, but is considered much harder than hard difficulty. Easier difficulties can allow for easier story progression, but give fewer credits resulting in slower upgrade progression.
