Resources must then be used each time you wish to try and make a dangerous route safe for you to send your fleet out into missions and you can use some to repair your ships or buy more docks (there's a maximum of 15) and can sink ships if you are short on diamonds or place ships in each dock that will do better both in battles or in missions you send them out on.

Success equals both resources and cash in your pocket. Once you win the battles you gain (cargo) resources that can then be used to trade your way to sending ships out to more and more routes that if successful then become safe pathways for you to travel. In the list of routes you can send ships out to they range from easy (green) to medium (yellow) to red (hard) so choosing a worthy ship via the battle system puts your ships head to head with others that are blocking these shipping channels. Resources are made up of multiple types of (cargo) items.
