  • Note: In case you hadn't worked it out from the numbers, the larger purchases give you a better ratio of points to cash, so in order to maximize your points it is better to save up and buy in bulk, rather than buy repeated small amounts.

There are 10 possible outcomes provided by spending 10 galaxypoints.pngGP to spin the Galaxy Wheel. youtube

The best outcome wins you 20 more Galaxy Points galaxypoints.pngGP.

The next best outcome (Alien head) wins you 5 Rank Points.

The remaining 8 outcomes involve winning credits credits.pngCR, based on your current rank [1].

  • Formula [2]: Rank * Rank * 500 * Galaxy Wheel muliplier

Available Galaxy Wheel multipliers: 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 7x, 10x, 20x, 50x

Change your Race and Profession

You can change your Race and Profession in a variety of ways.

When you initiate a Race change, both Race and Profession are changed in tandem - you can not directly only change your Profession.



Abandoning Planets

You can spend 5 Galaxy Points galaxypoints.pngGP to abandon a planet you occupy.

The number of planets you can occupy is limited by your current rank. Thus, you may wish to abandon a planet of lesser value in order to take a more valuable one. Also, the amount of credits credits.pngCR required to colonize or invade new planets increases with every planet owned. Abandoning your worst planets can help manage those costs.

To abandon a planet .. link to GL Interface Planets Tab

When you abandon a planet, all Structures on the planet are demolished, but subsequent owners may be able to utilize any remaining Planetary Effects. Abandoning a planet does not remove the planet from your database.

There is a 12 hour timer between abandons. The Paradox Generator is the only way to adjust the Abandon Timer.

According to the developer [3]: "I want colony choice to be strategic. A large legion can likely see many shares per day. Without a cooldown a single player could dominate all the decent shares that get thrown around without having to plan or worry."


Legion Missions

navigate to GL Interface Missions Tab

Change Remaining Time for 8 galaxypoints.pngGP - can extend or reduce the timer by 1 hour

  • Change the amount of remaining time for this Mission, up to a 50% change from its original duration. Costs 8 GP per hour of adjustment.


Skip This Mission for 19 galaxypoints.pngGP

  • Skip this legion mission, and allow for a new (and different) one to be chosen. Note: 2 missions cannot be skipped in a row.
