[edit] Overview

Megacredits are the primary Trade Good of the galaxy, and its main form of currency. It is 'money'. Almost everything in Planets that you want to build, buy, learn, or acquire will require megacredits as a part of its price.

[edit] Details

Megacredits can exist in 5 locations:

• Ground Bases
• Ships
• Pods
• The Galactic Bank (megacredits is sometimes referred to as Galactic Credits or gc when money is in the Galactic Bank)
• Planet surface, you can only see the mc when doing a ship transfer to the planet surface, the megacredit are here after a base has been destroyed (by a WCM).

[edit] Standard means of acquiring Megacredits

• Taxes
• Cities and Undercities (just over half the races can build Undercities - The Privateer Bands can build neither Cities nor Undercities)
• Farms (some races can't build Farms)
• Selling Contraband (some races can't sell Contraband)
• Ground Combat and capture bases with megacredits
• Capture enemy supply pods carrying megacredits
• Government Centers will allow you to transfer up to 10k megacredits per planet to the Galactic Bank
