[2020] Remind me again, exactly how will we be acquiring the new resources in the Escalation update?

I'm working on community content for launch day with more details, but the tl;dr version is:

1) There are 3 new resource types

2) Outfits can collectively acquire them by participating in captures and/or controlling territory. Acquired resources are deposited in the Outfit Armory, where they can be spent on War Assets.

3) All territories will have a resource value which will be clearly denoted on the continent map

We'll likely continue tuning, adding and balancing for some time after the update (along with parallel systems like Outfit Loyalty and Merit), but the basic idea is to incentivize and reward Outfits for meritorious collective actions on behalf of their Empire.

Technically yes - if you participate in successful base/facility captures, acquired resources from the capture are split btw participating Outfits, and your “Outfit” would be credited with a cap share. But unless you’re a one-man army, you’re probably not single handedly taking, defending and controlling territory to accelerate resource gain.

So yea...it’d be tough sledding solo, I’d suggest recruiting :)

Capture rewards split - those are separate from the resource values each region has for territory control. But I need to double check the values, which are still being tuned (and will continue to be post-update).

But tl;dr, it’s technically possible solo, but much much easier with comrades
