These basic ores can be refined to Prometid and Duranium, which when combined with Xenomit can make Promerium.

There is also a crystal named Seprom that can only be produced in the Skylab by further refining Promerium. Seprom cannot be sold however the ore can give weapons and shields a great power boost.

Pilot points are needed to work the Pilot Bio. Pilot Points can be obtained by buying log disks from the shop, shooting down boss or uber NPC's for a small chance, or even by completing Galaxy Gates.

Each pilot point can be used to acquire certain abilities that help the player in battle or other game functions. A player can have up to fifty pilot points in their bio.

When certain skills are maxed out, they generate special effects, such as brighter lasers, rocket trails, etc. For Uridium or from Palladium, a resource which is converted into extra energy, players can "spin" a galaxy Gate Generator, which gives ammunition, free repairs, or parts for a "galaxy gate".

Once you collect enough parts to build one of the many galaxy gates, you are sent through a portal into a map where enemies cannot reach you, only NPCs.

Once in, the only way out is to be shot down, or to destroy the entire "wave" of aliens. These waves get progressively harder throughout the duration of the gate; they also become more difficult depending on the gate you have active.

The reward for completing a gate without being shot down more than twice is quite substantial. Also called the Outfit Gate, the Lord of War map is found on every x-3 map.

To enter this gate, one must be in an outfit. Once in the gate, players find there is no way out - they must "finish" the gate.
