 == Making a Starbase Wealthy ==
 Rich '''Starbases''' can keep up with the [[Economy]] and quickly level up. '''Starbases''' usually struggle to stay above 9000 base credits, so if your '''Starbase''' can consistently stay above this mark, it may be considered "rich". There are various ways to make a Starbase wealthy.
-=== Cash Transfer ===
-The method of credits being transferred from other bases, including the [[Mega Base]], to your own '''Starbase''' to increase the '''Starbase''' credits.
+The recommended method is to set '''Orange Restrictions''' and to '''Trade''' a lot while there are no bosses, and when a boss spawns, use the '''Combat Rewards''' method ( below ).
-* This does not require a [[:Category:Freighter|Freighter]], but it is highly recommended. The freighter buys as much [[Ore/Materials|ore]] as possible from '''Starbase''' they look to make credits in the process before selling to other bases for more expensive or for the same price. This way, the only one losing money is the base being sold the [[Ore/Materials|ore]]. '''Starbases''' can make over 50k in a single trip. The disadvantages are that ships transferring [[Ore/Materials|ore]] are at risk of being attacked during a war and that the person buying the [[Ore/Materials|ore]], to begin with, has to have a decent amount of credits, and bases the [[Ore/Materials|ore]] is being sold to can go bankrupt.
+=== Dumping Ore ( Mining ) ===
+This method is the slowest method but effective. It's required to do this method first in order to do a really fast method: '''Trading.'''
+* If you do not know how to mine, see the [[Mining]] page.
+* When you have a full ore hold, dump your ore. <u>DO NOT SELL IT!</u> Selling the ore will only make the '''Starbase''' even more poor.
+*The base will gain power. The more powerful your '''Starbase''' is, the more income it gains.
+*You will also have ore in order to do the '''Trading''' method.
+=== Trading ===
+This method has a player buy materials from a '''Starbase''' and then sell at another '''Starbase''' for the same or higher price. So the only base losing money is the one that bought the materials from the player.
+The process of trading includes mining and dumping your ore. This method requires materials to be in your '''Starbase''' before following through. See the '''Dumping Ore Method.'''
+* Open the [[Economy]] menu and look at the prices of materials of your '''Starbase''' and compare them to other '''Starbases''', including the [[Mega Base]]. Choose a material to buy and a '''Starbase''' to sell at. You want the material you are buying to be cheaper at your '''Starbase''' than the '''Starbase''' you are planning on selling at. The '''Starbase''' also needs to have credits in order to pay you.
+* Spawn in a [[Ships|Freighter]], or any ship with high cargo hold.
+*Buy the material or materials you chose from your '''Starbase''', they will be loaded into your ship.
+*Fly your ship to the '''Starbase''' you decided on.
+*Sell the materials.
+=== Combat Rewards ===
+This method is <u>very</u> effective.  Just one attempt gets your starbase to level 4.
+* Wait for a boss to spawn, that is anything that calls reinforcements when attacked. The most common ships are: [[Punisher]], [[Decimator]], [[Galleon]], [[Kodiak]], and [[X-0]]
+* Spawn either a fast [[Ships|Frigate]] or a [[Wasp]] and warp to the boss.
+* Attack the boss until it either starts shooting back at you or you see the reinforcements start to warp to you.
+* Once you have the boss's attention, warp to the '''Starbase''' that you wish to get rich. The boss should follow you as well as all of it's reinforcements.
+* Despawn your ship.
+* Get a [[Dragonfly]] or any ship that spawns in the '''Starbase''' and make sure the enemies are attacking you so they do not run away. Do not focus on doing damage, just dodge their fire.
+* Let the '''Starbase''' kill the enemies and the '''Starbase''' receive the combat reward for killing the enemies. This will vary depending on how many ships it has killed.
+* (Bonus) you can loot the wreckages to get valuable loot. Especially the boss ship, which will likely have [[Ores and Materials|Plasma Batteries.]]
 === Orange Restrictions ===
-This [[Strategies|strategy]] is common throughout the world of Galaxy, not to mention easy
+This [[Strategies|strategy]] is common throughout the world of Galaxy, not to mention easy.
 * This [[Strategies|strategy]] may not make a '''Starbase''' rich, but it can help save money. The leader simply places selling restrictions on all of the [[Ore/Materials|ore]] while still allowing people to buy from the '''Starbase'''. This helps to stop [[:Category:Freighter|Freighters]] from coming and selling the base into bankruptcy. This, however, will not stop miners from dumping [[Ore/Materials|ore]] at the '''Starbase'''.
 === Loans ===
 This [[Strategies|strategy]] works exactly as it sounds: money loans.
-* Simply making a loan to the base can help keep the money up. This can be done by opening the menu once in the base and giving a loan. This gives 2.5k credits to the base. These credits come from the player's own credits. After making a loan the base will pay back very slowly until it pays the full amount...and more. The player making the loan charges interest of 10% and so gets paid more than they originally loaned. The disadvantages of this [[Strategies|strategy]] are that the player must stay online and in that faction for the loans to continue to pay back. If the '''Starbase''' is destroyed before the loan is paid back then the player will not continue to receive money. Disconnecting is a large problem for people who make loans. Most players don't use this strategy because the '''Starbase''' could be destroyed and you could lose most of your credits.

-=== Dumping Ore ===
-This method is the hardest to make the base more wealthy and easiest way for your base to get bankrupted if not managed correctly.
-* Dumping ores at the base will essentially lower the ore price for trading at the base. However, dumping through selling will make the base purchase the dumped ore. The best solution is to dump it through transferring it to your [[Warehouse]].
-* On the positive side, dumping at '''Starbase''' will give the Faction's base power. The more power the base provides, the more income it will give. It will also reduce the Faction's '''Starbase''' ore price in Economy Matrix gradually, allowing the trader to buy ore and selling it at other bases that have a higher price. On the negative side, the base may become bankrupted if ore is sold to the base, and cannot purchase ore anyway until it has enough credits, hence transferring is preferable.
-*Becomes the fastest way to upgrade a base if used in conjunction with the Cash Transfer method, using a freighter to buy the dumped ore from the base and sell it elsewhere. Using a large miner such as the [[Orca]] or [[Galaxy]] and a high capacity freighter like the [[Prepravca]] or [[E Class]], a '''Starbase''' can be leveled up to at least level 4 in a single mining + freighting run.
-=== Ship Construction ===
-This method is the easiest way for those who like to do PvP combat at all times or in the process of rebuilding Starship.
-* Simply construct any kind of ship that requires manufacturing fees. The credits from the fee will be immediately transferred to Starbase upon construction.
