Permits

Description:

Permits are special materials used in the creation of ships on the Limited Build Menu. They are typically available exclusively at the Mega Base, and are quite expensive compared to other purchasable components.

Currently, there are six types of permits:

• Super Capital Permit — required for construction of Super Capital-class ships.
• A Class Permit — required build material for Prototypes.
• B Class Permit
• C Class Permit
• D Class Permit
• E Class Permit

Disadvantages:

• Extremely expensive. Prices vary by permit class, but all are insanely expensive compared to the ships they let you build.
• Contrary to the meaning of their names, permits are consumed upon building a single ship, rather than generally permitting you to build ships of their respective class.
• Only obtainable through purchasing with credits, not dropped by any NPC ships or rewarded by quests.
