When players have a large empire in the late game, how much HYPER can they expect to earn?

Keep up the good development!

Thanks for the encouragement! It's still early days.

There are two ways the game might go:

1.) Players won't be earning HYPER directly, but all the other in-game currencies and resources that will have their own blockchains and be traded against HYPER, GP and possibly BTC, on a decentralized exchange.

Earnings will depend on how people choose to play the game (and how they play the markets).

2.) The in-game currency will be pegged to HYPER and GP in some way, and HYPER and GP can be deposited and withdrawn from the game as players wish, withdrawing or depositing credits into their account.

Option 2 gives us more control over the economy, but option 1 appeals to me more as I want to see how the simulation pans out in a more in-depth way, and it will be more exciting for players too.

Whichever option is used in the final game, Star System ownership in Federation Space will be represented by ownership of a unique blockchain asset.

Owning a planet in Federation Space where it is immune from attack will give players a nice income stream (and a safe base of operations) for as long as they decide to maintain ownership of the System, but they will also be able to sell the Star System whenever they choose.
