Launch / tow / bank
One more load
is always a gamble.
Your shift starts at a quiet salvage dock. Pilot out into a large scrolling orbital junk field, find salvage pockets, and use the tractor beam to pull material toward your tug.
Every piece you tow adds weight. A heavy load slows the ship and makes it less responsive, while cargo still on the line is lost if your ship is disabled. Dock and unload to secure the haul, add to your score, and earn credits.

A look inside the open test
Clock in.
Bring the haul home.
Explore the hangar, tow salvage through three sectors, and see how long you can stay out in the field.
Scrap has weight / danger has a price
Choose what you tow.
Scrap plates are light. Power cores are heavier. Volatile cores are especially valuable, but increase hazard pressure and draw rival attention while in tow.
Later contracts add rival scrappers guarding valuable pockets. They can fire on your tug, but you are here for the profit, not a firefight. Player weapons are not part of the game.
- Engine for more speed
- Winch for tractor-beam range and reel speed
- Cargo rack for more tow capacity
- Shield, deflector, and armor for defense
Three sectors / changing hazards
The field keeps
changing shape.
Orbital Yard
A working salvage zone with slower drifting rocks.
Iron Asteroids
Faster rocks make each route harder to read.
Debris Belt
More frequent timed mines leave less room to linger.
Story contracts unlock Short Score, Survival, and additional sectors as you progress.
Designed for a two-thumb shift
Keep both hands
on the controls.
