Experience

''This article is about the crew feature. See resources for the income earned during battle and used to upgrade ships.''

Experience can be gained by crew members either through combat, by finding duplicates in Drop Pods or by spending Elite Exp. They start at level 0 and whenever they level up, one of their Implant slots looses its color-restriction, from left to right. However, the crew members stats remain unaffected. Each level requires more Experience than the previous and the maximum level is 3 at which point none of the slots has a color-restriction anymore. Unrestricted slots are called Chroma Slots and show a golden insignia instead of a red, yellow or blue computer chip icon.

Elite Exp
Elite Exp is a specialized currency, that can only be spent to level up crew members. Each new player receives 100.000 Elite Exp at the beginning of the game. More can be obtained through certain Milestone Rewards of the daily reward system, by finishing Missions, directly through Drop Pods or by finding duplicates of a max level crew member in them. Once a crew member reaches level 3, they turn legendary and will grant the player 20% of the experience they would earn during battle as elite exp, which can then be spend on leveling other crew members.
