In general, there are four counting systems here - independent but easy to confuse fo beginners.
XPs and levels - signs of a player's industry and releasing equipment.
CC XPs and levels - control of CC growth, company source of "credits for (almost) nothing" (CC passes).
Average and tiers - display of skills (personal and by equipment).
Players' earnings - credits collected (part of them) for bragging rights and misleadingly (*) displayed as money to fuel the wrong impression of wealth available here.
(*) T&Cs state: "Credits have no monetary value"
