{{For|perks in ''[[Everspace 2]]''|Perks (ES2)}}
'''Perks''' can be leveled up prior to a game run using [[credits]], and are permanent upgrades across all runs. They affect almost all aspects of each run and how strong each ship is, and with no downsides other than spending credits. Some ship perks even have visual upgrades, changing the look of one of the parts of a ship. For images of the visual changes, please see each respective [[Player ships|ship's]] pages.

Upgrading all perks in the game costs $1,429,050 (including the [[Colonial Sentinel]]'s perks; $1,186,400 without it).
