What are Independent Archives?
Independent Archives is a feature that improves quality of life for Archive-supported ships. It reduces the grind of managing multiple ships, streamlines daily reward collection, and helps new players learn ship loops without feeling overwhelmed, allowing smoother progression.
How do I build the Independent Archives Building?
The building can be constructed with the Independent Archives Key, available for free during launch month at Operations Level 16 in the Gifts section. After launch month, it requires Independent Archives Schematics. Upgrades also use Schematics, which can be earned through events, Missions like Personal Records, or the Store. Once built, you can claim 400 Schematics daily in Gifts under Building Resources.
What benefits do Independent Archives provide?
- Station Module and Chaos Tech Cost Efficiency Buffs
- Archive Data Shard Free Claims
- Reduced grind and faster progression for supported ships
- Combined refinery reward claims into fewer clicks
How does the feature work?
Build the Independent Archives, focus on the Archive Track that matters most to you, and progress through its Archive Pillars. Each Pillar grants buffs and consolidates reward claims. Unlocking the final Archive Pillar Masters a Track and moves all related rewards to a single daily claim button.
What ships are currently supported?
For the moment, we have the Botany Bay, the Vi’dar, the Vi’dar Talios, the USS Voyager, the Monaveen, the D'Vor Feesha, the USS Franklin, and Amalgan.
More ships will be added in future updates.
What happens when I master a Track?
All the rewards tied to the ship’s Track (store, refinery, etc.) are merged into one daily claim in the Independent Archives. Multiple Tracks can be claimed with a single "Claim All" button.
