Daily Bounties
Every day, CHOAM posts three bounties. Complete them for credit rewards.
How It Works
- 3 missions per day, rotating at UTC midnight
- Press B from any sector to open your bounty panel
- Progress updates automatically as you complete actions
- Claim rewards instantly — no need to return to a port
- Use the Route Scanner in the Auto-Pilot panel to find profitable port pairs for Trade Credits missions
Mission Types
| Type | What You Do | Typical Target |
|---|---|---|
| Kill NPCs | Destroy pirate ships in combat | 2–15 kills |
| Trade Credits | Profit from port transactions | 10,000–50,000 credits |
| Visit Sectors | Warp to new sectors | 3–20 sectors |
| Claim a Planet | Colonize an unclaimed planet | 1–2 planets |
| Pay Taxes | Pay CHOAM tariffs in FedSpace | 1–5 payments |
Difficulty Tiers
Each mission is ranked Easy, Medium, or Hard:
| Tier | Chance | Reward Range | Target Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Easy | 40% | 300–1,000 credits | Low targets |
| Medium | 35% | 800–2,500 credits | Moderate targets |
| Hard | 25% | 1,500–5,000 credits | High targets |
Pro tip: Easy Pay Taxes missions are the fastest credits in the game. Always pay tariffs in FedSpace — it counts toward your bounty.
Rerolling
Don’t like a mission? Reroll it for credits.
- Cost:
max(500, floor(reward × 0.5)) - A 1,000-credit mission costs 500 to reroll
- A 5,000-credit mission costs 2,500 to reroll
- You can only reroll uncompleted, unclaimed missions
- The replacement mission is the same difficulty tier
Strategy: Reroll impossible missions (e.g., Claim a Planet when you’re poor). Keep easy credits.
Claiming Rewards
- Open the bounty panel (B)
- Look for the green Claim button on completed missions
- Click to deposit credits immediately
Note: You must claim rewards the same day. Missions reset at UTC midnight.
Progress Tracking
Your progress updates in real time:
- Killing an NPC increments Kill NPCs
- Trading profit increments Trade Credits
- Warping to a new sector increments Visit Sectors
- Colonizing a planet increments Claim a Planet
- Paying CHOAM tariffs increments Pay Taxes
Toast notifications appear when you complete a mission during gameplay.
CHOAM Bounty Leaderboard
Your lifetime claimed bounty total appears on the CHOAM Bounty leaderboard tab. The more bounties you complete, the higher you rank.
Daily habit: Check your bounties first thing. They shape how you play that day — a Trade Credits mission means focus on ports; Kill NPCs means hunt pirates.
Daily Login Bonus
A separate bonus from bounties — claim 2,000 credits and 50 XP once every UTC day, no mission required:
- Claim from the bounty panel or player menu
- Resets at UTC midnight (same schedule as bounties)
- Stacks with mission rewards — you can claim your bonus AND complete bounties on the same day
- The “claimed at” timestamp prevents double-dipping before midnight
