Credits are the primary currency in the known universe, and the only resource that is not mined.

==Overview==
Credits are the most easily obtained of the three resources, every fully upgraded [[Planet]] will give a certain amount per second as tribute or taxes to your empire. Enemy [[Culture]] can decrease the amount of credits you get from a particular planet, and in turn your culture can increase it. The amount gained is linked to the population of a planet, meaning [[Terran Planet |Terran Planets]] would produce the largest amount of credits, and asteroids the least. [[Pirate Base |Pirate Bases]] are the exception to this rule as "Plundered Booty" will produce credits like a population despite the lack of a population.

Credit gain can be increased by building [[Trade Port |Trade Ports]], the longer the chain of trade ports in your trade route, the more you get. Forming Trade agreements with other empires greatly increases profit from trade. Credits are the only resource that can be used to put [[Bounty]] on enemy players to get [[Pirates]] to attack them, [[Pirate Cutthroat |Pirate Cutthroats]] also have the "Plunder" ability that steals credits from your ships, whether this actually has any real effect is unknown, but you can tell this is being used when you see several holographic credits like in the picture on the side of this page hovering over your ship.

Credits are also the only resource that can be used to buy [[Metal]] and [[Crystal]] from the [[Black Market]]. In reverse, selling these materials can give you credits if you are short on them and have an excess in a particular resource. While some [[Ships]], [[Structures]], and research items may not require a particular resource, everything needs credits. There are some abilities that allow you to steal credits, including [[Embargo]], and [[Plunder]].
