You activate assistants in the shop with Urplasma, each for 30 days. The shop shows how long an assistant is still active ("active until"). Prices are listed in the shop – here are the current values.
The assistants
- Construction Commander (200 Urplasma): buildings are built 10 % faster, and your build queue gets an additional slot.
- Engineer (200 Urplasma): ships and defenses are built 10 % faster, and you get a queue slot for your next research.
- Merchant (500 Urplasma): exchange one resource for another as often as you like, at the rate of 6 : 2.5 : 3 : 1 (Pig iron : Metal : Kryptonite : Spice) – more on the Merchant page.
- Spy Assistant (300 Urplasma): on alliance pages you see all members, and in a player's profile you see all of their planets that are older than 24 hours.
- Escape Flight Assistant (300 Urplasma): you do escape flights accurate to the minute regardless of the distance and secure a planet with just one click – with a freely selectable flight duration and resource priority. Caution: it does not work against attacks that arrive in less than one minute.
Bundles
- Assistant Pack (1,300 Urplasma): all assistants for 30 days.
- Fleeter Pack (700 Urplasma): Engineer, Spy Assistant and Escape Flight Assistant.
- Miner Pack (900 Urplasma): Construction Commander, Merchant and Escape Flight Assistant.
You can also get assistants without the shop: the Interdimensional Transmitter hands out random assistants as prizes, and some rewards in the Space Pass unlock all assistants.
