Buying and keeping
How much does it cost?
Planets from £5, systems from £60, sectors from £420, galaxies from £2,800. Closer to the core costs more.
A planet starts at £5 on the far rim and goes up from there. A solar system starts at £60. A sector starts at £420. A galaxy starts at £2,800. Bigger scale always costs more. The header can show USD or EUR at a published rate (1.30 dollars or 1.17 euros per pound, as of September 2026). That table is not a live feed.
Inside a scale, the core is dearer. The outer rim sits at the floor.
If you already keep addresses underneath a parent you are claiming, their listed values come off what you pay today, down to 20% of the parent list. The map still shows the full listed price.
The listed price is at risk: anyone can take it immediately. One to six months of exclusivity is extra. The fee is the 25% take premium spread across six months, at least £1 a month. Six months of lock costs the same extra as one take.
To take a kept estate you pay at least 25% more than the listed value. The last keeper gets nothing. The card is charged before the estate is written.
