About the Game

You have been assigned to Station 32 - a flagship new space station with warp capabilities. You will be acquiring scrap materials throughout the sectors and depositing them at the station. Your ship is equipped with a tether that you will use for almost everything, from collecting scrap to towing teammates. Good performance will result in Management allowing you upgrades for your ship, alongside granting access to new ships entirely.

Clara will be your line manager in charge of station operations. She will be invaluable for quick information about what is happening in the sector. Management is only able to provide so many spare ships if you wreck the ones you are given, so try to look after them.

Scrap comes in all different shapes, sizes, and values. Hauling really heavy scrap can be slow, so get your teammates to help. If a teammate's ship is heavily damaged, they could be a sitting duck - help by towing them back for repairs.

There will of course be others looking to capitalise on the bounty of scrap available across the sectors. So watch out for them. Management may be willing to provide strictly defensive firepower if your performance is deemed satisfactory.
