Loot & Tax System
How Loot Distribution and Loot Taxes Work
In Space is Hell, the loot system is built around a seamless, efficient economy powered by Polygon PoS blockchain technology. Resources such as Crelyte and Telemetry, earned from PvP, PvE, and mining operations, are minted directly into player wallets upon docking at a station. Taxes on mining and resource collection contribute to the game’s economic sustainability while incentivizing faction collaboration.
Core Loot Mechanics
Blockchain Integration
Polygon PoS Transactions: Resources like Crelyte, Telemetry, and HELLX are instantly minted into player wallets upon docking, offering fast, low-cost, and efficient transactions.
Economic Sustainability: Taxes and burn mechanics maintain long-term resource value and scarcity, ensuring a balanced in-game economy.
PvP Loot Mechanics
Resource Drops
When a player ship is destroyed in PvP, 50% of their lootable Crelyte and Telemetry is dropped, and the other 50% is burned to maintain scarcity.
Loot is distributed among contributors using the 40/30/30 split:
40%: Sustained damage dealt.
30%: Final blow landed.
30%: Support contributions (healing, shielding, or buffing).
Example Loot Distribution (PvP)
Player Loot: 200 Telemetry, 150 Crelyte.
Loot Dropped: 100 Telemetry, 75 Crelyte (50% burned).
Damage Dealer (40%): 40 Telemetry, 30 Crelyte.
Final Blow (30%): 30 Telemetry, 22.5 Crelyte.
Support (30%): 30 Telemetry, 22.5 Crelyte.
PvE Loot Mechanics
Resource Drops
NPC ships drop resources based on their tier (1-4) and the system tier (1 or 2).
Loot follows the same 40/30/30 split as PvP.
Example Loot Distribution (PvE)
NPC Tier 4 in Tier 2 System: Drops 150 Telemetry and 100 Crelyte.
Loot Dropped: 75 Telemetry, 50 Crelyte (50% burned).
Damage Dealer (40%): 30 Telemetry, 20 Crelyte.
Final Blow (30%): 22.5 Telemetry, 15 Crelyte.
Support (30%): 22.5 Telemetry, 15 Crelyte.
Mining Operations and Taxes
Mining Ships
Players can deploy mining ships to asteroid fields to extract Crelyte, a critical resource for crafting and upgrades.
Mining Ship Deployment Fee: Players pay a Crelyte fee to summon mining ships, which scales based on the tier of the system:
Tier 1 System: 50 Crelyte per ship.
Tier 2 System: 100 Crelyte per ship.
Mining Tax
5% Tax on Crelyte: Automatically deducted from all Crelyte mined during operations, supporting mining infrastructure.
Example Mining Operation
A mining ship extracts 1,000 Crelyte:
Mining Fee: 100 Crelyte for ship deployment.
Mining Tax: 50 Crelyte (5%).
Remaining Crelyte: 850 distributed among players.
NPC Mechanics in Mining Zones
Mining zones are often contested, with waves of NPCs threatening mining operations.
Players must defend mining ships while coordinating resource collection:
NPC Loot Drops: Follow standard PvE loot mechanics.
Mining Buffs: Support ships enhance mining rates, while fighters and interceptors provide defensive support.
Station Taxes and Services
Telemetry Tax
A 5% tax on all Telemetry collected is applied during PvP and PvE activities. This tax contributes to the upkeep and operation of space stations within each faction.
Station Service Fees
Space stations provide essential services, such as repairs, crafting, and upgrades. Fees for these services contribute to faction economies:
Repair Fees: Based on ship tier, ranging from 50 to 250 Crelyte.
Crafting Fees: Scaled by item complexity, with a percentage fee collected as station revenue.
Faction Bonuses Impacting Loot
Crelyte Bonuses
Increased Mining Yield: In faction-controlled zones.
Improved PvP Loot Recovery Rates: Default 50%, max 75%.
Telemetry Bonuses
Enhanced Combat Performance: Reduced cooldowns and increased crit rates.
Improved PvE Efficiency: Enabling faster NPC kills.
Dynamic Loot Features
Real-Time Contributions
Combat Logs: Track player contributions to damage, final blows, and support in real time for fair loot distribution.
Squad Collaboration
The 40/30/30 split ensures all roles—Damage Dealer, Final Blow, and Support—feel rewarded, fostering teamwork.
Anti-Abuse Mechanisms
Prevents exploitation, such as unfair prioritization of final blows or resource hoarding.
