Resources could be dolled out by some simple criteria.

One criteria would be how much of the resource your empire controls.

The other criteria could be a requirement that you do something useful for your empire.

Maybe you get a tiny amount every now and then for doing nothing (hopefully not), but any time you heal someone, someone uses a deployable you placed, you kill someone, etc, you get a more significant amount of the resource.

The more of the resource you controlled, the more you would get. The better you did for your empire, the more you would get.

Having things like tracking to see how recently someone got hurt by enemy fire would be important to tell how valuable a medic was being. Whether they were actually doing their job in a battle (should be worth tons of resources), or whether they are just healing somebody who keeps taking team damage in the middle of friendly territory just so you can earn easy resources.
