The Academy is your station’s home for officers who aren’t crewing a ship, and you have it from the moment you start playing. Every level raises the attack, defense, and health of all your officers, so it’s one of the few Geb\u00e4ude<\/a> that makes your entire roster stronger at once. It runs from level 1 to level 80 and stays useful the whole game.<\/p>\n

<\/span>What the Academy does<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Academy holds your unassigned Offiziere<\/a>, and it’s where you promote and level them through the Officer screen. Its upgrade effect, the Officer Stats Bonus, raises the attack, defense, and health of every officer you own. That bonus grows each time you upgrade the building, so it applies to your whole crew rather than a single ship or officer.<\/p>\n

The bonus tracks your building level closely through the first 40 levels, then climbs much faster at the top. These are the current values in the game data:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Buff<\/th>\nAktiv ab Level<\/th>\nWert an Level-Eckpunkten<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
Officer Stats Bonus (attack, defense, health)<\/td>\n1<\/td>\nL1 1%, L20 20%, L40 40%, L50 75%, L60 125%, L80 400%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

So a level 40 Academy adds 40% to every officer’s core stats, while a fully maxed level 80 Academy adds 400%. The jump between 40 and 80 is steep: 55% at level 45, 75% at level 50, and it keeps rising from there.<\/p>\n

<\/span>How to unlock the Academy<\/span><\/h2>\n

There’s nothing to unlock. The Academy is one of the buildings you begin the game with, so it has no requirement to place at level 1. Upgrading it is where the requirements start: from level 5 onward each upgrade needs your Operations building at the matching level, and a couple of mid and late levels also ask for the Scrapyard<\/a> (levels 2 and 7) and, at level 55, the Shuttle Bay.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Upgrade-Kosten und Bauzeiten<\/span><\/h2>\n

Early Academy upgrades are cheap and quick. Costs and build times balloon at higher levels, and the top end runs into Sigma-Parsteel and high-star refined ore and Gas<\/a>. These milestone rows show the shape of the curve (current game data, before any speedups or research reductions):<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Taking the Academy from level 1 to 80 costs about 342.5 trillion Parsteel plus 142.3 billion Sigma-Parsteel and large amounts of refined ore and gas across every star tier. The cumulative build time is roughly 81,331 days unboosted, which is why speedups, build-cost research, and construction bonuses matter so much at the high levels. Nobody upgrades the Academy at base rates late in the game.<\/p>\n

<\/span>How the Academy fits your station<\/span><\/h2>\n

Because each Academy upgrade requires the matching Operations level, the Academy naturally moves in step with your Operations building. Keeping it current with your Operations level is the simple rule: if you let it fall behind, you’re leaving officer stats on the table for no reason, since the bonus applies to every officer whether they’re on offense, defense, or mining duty.<\/p>\n

Upgrading the Academy also hands out recruit tokens at many levels, so it does double duty in the early game as a small source of officer pulls alongside the stat bonus. Later, the value is almost entirely the Officer Stats Bonus, and the recruit rewards become a rounding error next to the build cost.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Academy upgrade missions<\/span><\/h2>\n

Several Academy upgrades come with a mission attached. The Missionen<\/a> still call the building the Recruitment Hall, but they complete when the Academy reaches the level named, and pay the reward listed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Mission<\/th>\nObjective<\/th>\nBelohnungen<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Recruitment Hall Level 61<\/td>\nUpgrade the Academy to level 61<\/td>\n59,000 6\u2605 Broken Survey Parts, 34,062,500,000 Parsteel<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The later two have their own guides: Recruitment Hall 71<\/a> und Recruitment Hall 79<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Is the Academy worth upgrading?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Yes, and it’s one of the better upgrades early on. A single level lifts the stats of your entire officer roster, which is efficient value while costs stay small. The top levels get very expensive and very slow, so treat those the way you treat any high-Operations building: schedule them behind speedups and research rather than paying base rates. Keeping the Academy level with your Operations building is standard play at every stage.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
