Invasion Points
From Invasion3042 Wiki
Invasion points (also known as IP or iPoints) are given to players who donate money to the game. Remember, this game is free to play, but cannot survive if Reload can't keep the lights on. For this reason, some players choose to donate.
Donations can be done in many ways, the most common of which is subscription. Subscriptions carry very valuable benefits in the form of Efficiency Modifiers which affect whatever zone you chose to place them on. With four IP, a player can purchase a Daychange , which can speed up your growth by giving your empire all the positives and none of the negatives of speeding up time, though this is recommended more for advanced players who have a lot to earn per daychange. Also, (though only advisable to new players) IP can be exchanged for Bpoints, Tpoints, Rpoints, and iCash.
New players (with less than 5000 population) can also take advantage of New Player Donation Specials, giving trained, maintenance-free mechs and large sums of points.
IP are most useful in the purchasing and training of mechs and other units. Mechs can be purchased from the Marketplace Tab on their individual information pages, or in trained and discounted Donation Mech Packs. Any mech, vehicle, or battle armor can be purchased by using Ipoints. IP spent in this way causes the unit to be built without BP expenditure, use of parts, and without having to wait around for your people to complete it. Training the units with IP happens immediately as well, which can be better than waiting 4-5 real days in some instances.
IP can also be used to improve your current mechs. You can increase the head armor of a mech by one for five IP. You can also decrease the maintenance 5% for eight IP. This can be done from your military tab. Select a unit, then click on the unit information button.
