Character Classes and Skills

Main Page: Starpoint Gemini

Player chooses one of three distinct character classes at the start of a new game. Cross-class and dual-class is not possible, but each of the classes offers four different ways to advance a character.

Experience
Experience is acquired with every action in the game (destroying and seizing ships, mining, collecting, scavenging, trading, solving missions, destroying structures). When enough Experience is gathered, player gains a new experience level and is awarded a skill point which can be used to acquire new or upgrade already owned skills. Skill points can also be awarded for completing missions.

Rank
Player’s rank is increased every five experience levels. This unlocks higher ship classes and also provides a perk point that the player can use to upgrade or choose a new perk.
