It's not about starting with units or skills, it's about unlocking units, abilities and mods from other factions/techs and combining them to create a sort of hybrid. The "credits" you earn are only used within the game you earned them, you spend those credits on buying the things you chose in your loadout or a random bundle of resources similar to clearing a map POI. TBH i find it all skippable, i dont see the need to start with units or skills, maybe if i do super hard AI it could kinda maybe help super early game? Its like a great new 4x mechanic thats in its infancy and they really need to expand the game mode and put it in a new 4x.
