What are Independent Archives?

Independent Archives is an engagement-supporting feature that significantly enhances the quality of life for all Archive-supported ships. It is designed to reduce the overwhelming grind of managing multiple ships, each with its own resource and progression needs, and to streamline collecting daily rewards. Additionally, new players benefit from the Archives by being introduced to the gameplay loops of Archive-supported ships in a more manageable way, without feeling overwhelmed by a high level of grind. This allows newer players to progress comfortably while becoming familiar with the game's systems.

How do I build the Independent Archives Building?

You can build it using the Independent Archives Key, available for free on launch month in the Gifts section at Operations Level 16. After launch month it can be built with Independent Archive Schematics. This is to prevent early upgrading and potentially missing out on upgrade events on launch day. Upgrade it with Independent Archives Schematics to increase buffs. You can earn Independent Archives Schematics through events, Missions such as “Personal Records”, or by buying them from the Store. Once you have built the Independent Archives a free daily claim of 400 Independent Archives Schematics will be available in the Building Resources section in Gifts.
