Weekly Resets

Once completed, each space mission will open up an Operation weekly that reset at certain days of the week. Note that the sunday weekly contains two space missions and therefore will reward twice the rewards. In addition to the rewards, each space mission will reward 7175 1616 credits for each repeat and the bonuses yield anywhere from 3-5k credits depending on the bonus. This makes short missions like Cha Raaba Assault/Thanium Disruption (3m 50s length) excellent for credit farming if you can manage to one shot the mission and grab all the bonuses. As iof the Jan 8 patch, it is no longer profitable to run the space missions repeatedly for credits as the rewards have being significantly reduced. The weekly credit rewards are unaffected.
