You won a bounty duel vs. another captain.

Glove Slap is similar to Reparations.

You paid off your own bounty.
- Similar to Glove Slap achievement. You must make a captain really angry (-50 or lower captain relation) to receive a bounty on you. Once you have it, select Captain Info (! icon) than select on the lower right View Bounty Holder. Pay the reparation (price may varied).

Poacher
You stole a faction member from another faction.
- You must be level 12 to built your own starbase and if your playing campaign mode rebuild your starbase in order to access your own faction.

Once your your own faction, find any captain who is either from Civilian Ascendancy, Void Militia, Sun Hunters, Miners Conglomerate or Sovereignty of Science.

You will need to increase the captain's relation (traits, tribute given, arena accomplish (only for the starbase owner), assisting in a battle, and preventing raid). The more starbase you own, the lower the requirement to recruit a captain.

Finally, meet that captain and ask him/her to join your faction.





Friends With Benefits
You started an alliance with another faction.
- You must be level 12 to built your own starbase and if your playing campaign mode rebuild your starbase in order to access your own faction.

Decide which opposing faction you want to make friends with (excluding Zombie faction). From here, you must have an average of 50 captain relation to all member of said faction.

Getting a captain to like you can be time consuming due to the facts that they move around. You can built relation by offering tribute, entering a battle by joining on their side, or simply complete their arena (require faction starbase). Getting a high captain relation with the faction leader greatly increase faction member relation too.

To know how far your progress goes, select Faction Info than browse through the faction. You will be under the name of Clockwork Crew. From the top right if the relation is 50 or higher, select the faction leader and make an alliance.

Shop S-Mart
You have custom ordered a part from the catalog.

Bookworm
You have found all the lore.
- There are 36 lore randomly scattered. As soon you pick up the last lore, the achievement will pop.


I Was Here
You have explored all the territories.
- As soon you uncover the last territory, the achievement pop up.

This require you to dock on a non-zombie starbase and select arena.

You must do all four level before you can reach Champion level. The count is a little buggy you may have to either quit, load a game or enter a battle in order to make it count.

Once you beat a Champion level, replaying the same Champion level from the same starbase will not add to the count in other words you will need to visit 14 other starbases and beat its Champion level to get all three achievement.

Alternatively, before you enter for the Champion level, save your game finish the champion level than reload the save and beat it again. Rinse, repeat.

Ships you fight are randomly generated and are base on faction starbase therefore it is almost unpredictable how well armed they are.

Leveling up and getting perks is a must have. Perk level 46 is your max basic level afterward it will only give you 3 to 5%, perk level 35 is easy going for most arena, perk level 20 some ship can be still difficult to master, perk level 10 is not recommended.

Deadly
You beat 5 champion level Arenas



Elite
You beat 15 champion level Arenas
