		~ HIVE on credits

Credits are the currency in the Everspace universe. 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, and sometimes credits can be randomly adrift in space.
Looting containers
Completing missions for certain Characters
Completing random G&B missions
Selling resources to traders and service stations
Scanning 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 $1000 per on hard.

Using credits

During a run, credits can be used to:

Purchase Resources and Equipment from Traders and Service Stations
Repair hull hp and buy fuel from Service Stations
Buy ship upgrades from G&B Factories

At the end of a run, regardless of how it ended, credits can be spent on unlocking or buying Perks, or unlocking the other ships in the hangar. Unspent credits are lost upon beginning a new run.

-'''Credits''' are collected during gameplay.  You can collect credits by looting from destroying enemy ships (or watching enemies destroying each other and looting what remains), found among the wrecks of destroyed battleships, as reward containers found around Terran mining vessels, or in containers hidden among mine fields.  At the end of every run, whether through victory or death, your credits can be used to level up your ship's [[perks]] prior to subsequent runs.
