Resources

Before you can start raiding you'll need to get a decent economy going in Battle Pirates. Like many browser strategy games your economy forms the basis of your game and you can't do much without it. 

There are several resources you need in the game including oil, metal, energy, and zynthium. Each resource needs to be sent to storage after it is harvested by clicking on the resource mines. 

You can add more resource buildings to your base depending on your outpost level and upgrade each building to produce more resources per/hour for your economy, upping the level also increases the amount able to be held by the resource building.

Resources can also be gathered by attacking Draconian salvage fleets, resource deposits on the main map, and taken from other players bases and fleets. 

 The amount of resources collected from salvage fleets and resources deposits will depend on the level of the deposit or fleet  While the amount of resources collected from players will depend on the amount of resources they have on their fleet or within their base and the buildings destroyed and your attacking fleet cargo capacity. While attacking a base, your fleet can hold 500% of its regular cargo capacity.   

Build  warehouse's to store extra resources and use the trading post to buy resource packs with game credits. As you complete quests you’ll also get some resources as rewards. 

The Below Tables shows the estimated amount of resources gained from attacking/gathering from Salvage fleets and mines
