Energy is the most important resource that you will manage as captain of your ship. Your current Energy reserve is shown by the yellow bar in the upper left portion of your screen (above Hull) along with numbers showing your current usable energy reserve and current energy capacity when full.
Using Energy
Energy allows you to complete the basic functions of Galaxy Legion, these being...
- To advance in Missions
- To colonize, attack and invade Planets
- To attack and disable other ships and Legion Bases
- To hack or raid other players
- To use certain Artifacts
- To post on Comms
Gaining Energy
Energy is gained in several ways:
- Regenerated over time.
- The base regeneration period is 3 minutes for 1 energy point.
- The regeneration period is reduced by the amounts and types of Relays, certain Mission Items and Artifacts installed on your ship.
- The countdown timer to the right of the Energy Bar shows the time remaining until the next energy point is added.
- Full Energy Refills can be done.
- Using certain Artifacts.
- Using Galaxy Points.
- Advancing in Rank refills energy reserves to the installed capacity.
Improvements
Energy can be improved in three ways:
- Recharge Rate: Installing Relays onto your ship will reduce the time it takes to recharge one point of energy, letting you do more in the game sooner. This comes at the cost of lowering your max energy capacity, so be careful not to be gone too long, or energy will fill and the benefit of using the relay is wasted.
- Energy capacity: Installing Reactors and certain Artifacts onto your ship will increase your maximum energy capacity, thereby letting you get a good night's sleep (or earn a living) without worrying about filling up and wasting regeneration cycles. Installing some of these is often considered essential if you use Relays, to counter the capacity reduction inherent in them.
- Crew: Purchasing Engineers with Rank Points will permanently increase your max energy. You gain two Engineers (and thus, two max energy) for every rank point spent. Where ship modules come with install and upkeep costs, Engineers take no space and will happily work for free.
