Economic bonuses came into the game with Update 0.11.6 and the separation of ship exteriors, such as camouflages and signals, from the combat economy. They are available from access level 7.

Expendable Economic Bonuses

Bonuses may be applied to a ship to enhance the Credits and Experience earned from combat. A booster applied to a ship is used after each battle. One bonus of each type can stack with any permanent “bonus package” applied to the ship.

Legendary Expendable Economic Bonuses

The grind just got a whole lot more rewarding. Update 15.7 introduces an all-new Legendary grade for expendable economic bonuses, the highest rarity tier in the game. Players can now stack their earnings like never before, with credits, XP, and Free XP multipliers that surpass every previous expendable bonus tier. Legendary bonuses complete the full rarity lineup, bringing expendable economic bonuses in line with the rest of the game's rarity system.

Legendary Economic Bonus Rates

So what exactly does Legendary grade bring to the table? The highest multipliers ever seen on an expendable economic bonus:

Bonus Type	Multiplier
Credits	+480%
Ship XP	+2,400%
Commander XP	+2,400%
Free XP	+7,200%

These rates sit at the very top of the rarity system, surpassing every previous expendable bonus tier.

Epic Free XP Bonus Adjustment

Heads up, Captains: Epic Free XP expendable economic bonuses are getting rebalanced. These bonuses have historically outperformed every other bonus at the same rarity grade, with a massive +7,200% multiplier. Starting with Update 15.7, they will be adjusted to +4,800% to bring them in line with the rest of the Epic tier.

But that is not all; every Epic Free XP economic bonus in your inventory will automatically convert to Exchange Tokens when Update 15.7 launches. These tokens can be used to obtain Legendary expendable economic bonuses of any type at a 1:1 rate. That means every single bonus you lose in the conversion comes back as a top-tier Legendary bonus of your choice no credits spent, no resources wasted.
