Maximizing Your Gains: Earning & Spending Resources Efficiently

In the relentless war for Super Earth, every resource counts. From Ship Modules to Warbond unlocks, understanding how to efficiently earn and spend your hard-won resources will give you a significant edge. This guide focuses on maximizing your acquisition of Requisition Slips, Medals, Samples, and Super Credits, and advises on the most impactful ways to deploy them.

Earning Resources: The Pillars of Progress

Your resource income is tied directly to your performance in the Galactic War. Prioritizing certain activities will accelerate your progress.

• Requisition Slips: These are the most common resource, earned from completing missions, daily orders, and by finding them scattered across planets. They are primarily used to unlock new Stratagems and upgrade your Super Destroyer.
• Medals: Essential for progressing through Warbonds. Earned from mission completion, daily orders, and completing Warbond challenges. Higher difficulty missions yield more Medals.
• Samples: Found on planets during missions, these are crucial for upgrading your Super Destroyer's Ship Modules. Different planet difficulties yield different tiers of samples (Common, Rare, Super Rare). Prioritize missions on higher difficulties to acquire Rare and Super Rare samples faster.
• Super Credits: The premium currency, used to purchase Premium Warbonds and cosmetic items. While they can be found in small amounts during missions (look for supply crates and bunkers), they are primarily acquired through real-world purchase or by completing certain daily/weekly orders.

Efficient Earning Strategies

• Prioritize Daily Orders: These offer substantial Medal bonuses and are often quick to complete.
• Tackle Higher Difficulties: Once you're comfortable, pushing into higher difficulties (7+) significantly increases Medal and Requisition Slip rewards per mission.
• Sample Runs: For sample acquisition, focus on missions that allow for thorough exploration. Completing the primary objective and then carefully searching the map for sample caches is key. Extracting with samples is crucial, so don't overstay your welcome if the situation becomes dire.
• Exploit Mission Types: Some mission types, like 'Retrieve Essential Personnel' or 'Destroy Command Bunkers,' often have areas that are easier to search for samples or offer more concentrated enemy encounters for resource farming.

Spending Resources: Making Every Credit Count

With a steady stream of resources, it's important to spend them wisely to maximize your combat effectiveness and progression.

• Super Destroyer Upgrades: Prioritize Ship Modules that offer tangible combat benefits. For example:
  • Resupply Pods: Increases ammo capacity for your team.
  • Orbital Gatling Strike: Provides a powerful offensive option.
  • Shield Generator Relay: Offers a crucial defensive buff.
  The order of importance can vary based on your team's needs and preferred playstyle.
• Warbonds: Focus on unlocking weapons and armor that directly improve your combat capabilities. Weapons with good armor penetration (like the Railgun or Anti-Materiel Rifle) or armor with beneficial perks (like increased grenade capacity) are often high-priority.
• Stratagems: While most Stratagems are unlocked with Requisition Slips, some powerful ones are tied to Warbonds. Ensure you're unlocking and utilizing the most effective Stratagems for your team composition.

The Golden Rule: Balance and Adaptability

Don't neglect any single resource. A balanced approach to earning and spending will ensure you're always prepared for the evolving threats of the Galactic War. Adapt your spending priorities based on new unlocks, team composition, and the current challenges presented by the enemy factions.
