Points
Points are useful for nearly everything in Star Pirates, and may be purchased via PayPal. However, they can also be earned in-game; you can buy points from the points market, or trade items for them, or even find them on a dangerous excursion to an asteroid belt.
Points can be spent to:
- Refill your fuel for 10 points.
- Refill 100% energy for 10 points.
- Refill 20% energy for 3 points.
- Search the debris field for 5 points.
- Refill your research units for 60 points.
- Cloak your ship for 3 points (this lasts 20-40 minutes. While active, there is a 75% chance to work during attacks made while the effect lasts - if it does, a random person will be 'picked' to be shown in the event and logs rather than 'you'.)
- Repair your ship to leave the Shipyard early. This will cost 1-5 points, depending on how long your ship has been in the shipyard (the closer to fixed your ship is, the fewer points it will take).
- Remove your officer for 3 points.
- Fully repair ship (outside of the Shipyard) for 2 points.
