WORK. DIE. REPEAT. Take a contract → choose how to handle encounters → salvage & recycle → refit your fleet → return, settle the bill, and head out again for bigger risks and bigger rewards. This isn’t a lone ship run—it’s fleet deployment and tactical decision-making . Let the AI handle routine combat, or take manual control to focus fire and reposition for an edge: Formation & positioning shape your damage coverage and survival Target focus changes the pace of fights Fight when you must—retreat when you should (getting home is part of winning) Roguelite resource strategy: salvage, rebuild, repeat Every sortie is a gamble. Routes, battles, and encounters come with different rewards and costs. Winning isn’t enough—you must manage expenses, attrition, and salvage value , because what you bring back is how you grow stronger. Module builds : swap better modules on the spot—power spikes you can feel immediately Route gambling : safer paths offer stability; riskier ones can yield rarer modules and bigger payouts Cut your losses : retreating is a strategy—but deductions are real, and the settlement will tell the story Dark humor, written into the rules The galaxy’s glory belongs to “civilization.” The mess is for field agents. You’ll face absurd incidents, faction politics, and corporate bureaucracy—where dark humor isn’t just dialogue, it’s the system itself: Sometimes you think you’ve “paused”… and it turns out you just triggered another procedure and another cost Sometimes you win the battle… then watch your earnings get sliced before they reach your pocket Here, the enemy isn’t only enemy fire. It’s also the rules.
