This is same as in all other free 2 play games.

It's free to play.. but you *can* pay real money to buy gold ( or diamonds or other ingame "premium" currencies ). Then you can use this currency ( here: gold ) to buy premium items or premium membership.

Means.. you can buy "gold-ammo" ( which gives a little better damage ) or vip-status for a given time ( which gives you 150% income of credits and experience per battle ) or vip-battles ( which gives you 200% income for a given amount of battles ). And you can buy premium ships or other stuff.

There is a second ingame currency: silver or credits or similar. This is free and you will earn it by doing battles, killing enemies, helping the team.

Usually you cannot buy premium items or membership with free silver / credits currency. You need gold / ream money for them.

You can even change ship-bound experience into free-experience to use it for other ships.. and you can buy free silver / credits currency with gold. Changing the nickname cost gold too.


But in the end.. you don't need gold.. you don't need premium things.. you can play the game without money.

thank you that's extremely helpful.

I also think I have to pay gold for certain upgrades to my ship? It seems Im being asked to exchange for gold.

No.

You don't need gold to upgrade your ships / ship modules.

If you do battles.. you will earn credits and experience for free. Once you have enough exp you can unlock one or more new ( better ) modules. Once unlocked them.. you can buy them with the free credits.

You need to unlock some of the modules to unlock the next ship in the tech tree.

It's the same as above: You just need experience and credits ( both for free from battles ) to unlock and buy the next ship.


Gold is only.. to speed things up.. to get 150% or 200% free credits & experience from battles. So you can unlock & buy new modules and ships faster. But you don't need gold to upgrade anything.

The "turorials" just show you what is possible.. and of cause they show you how to manage gold and premium.. because the developers want sell gold.. :)

This is my 3rd day playing this game. I was only able to play several games each day and then I have to wait until the next day to log in to play several more. Any solutions? Thanks.
