Tackling Your First Ship in Hardspace: Shipbreaker

Are you starting work today?

Don’t worry at all, working in zero-gravity salvage isn’t nearly as scary or difficult as people say. Besides, LYNX Corporation keeps all of your genetic information on file for any mistakes. If you happen to blow yourself up tearing down a difficult ship, we’ll bring you right back, no fuss at all. You’ll have to pay for it of course; safety and security always come with a price! 

Still, everyone’s first day can be tricky, so we’re going to walk you through salvaging your very first ship in Shipbreaker HardspaceBlackbird Interactive’s zero-gravity simulation of deep space salvage workstation from Focus Entertainment. You will soon get the hang of salvaging everything on ships and the excitement of doing so safely. We hope to minimize the deaths and dismemberment. 

While space can seem cold and lonely at times, profits will keep us warm all year! 

Move around with Zero-Gravity

A salvage bay works just like an office. However, it does not have air, gravity or other safety measures. Do you panic or let your guard down? You’re as good as gone. It’s been zero days since we’ve had an accident, and that number hasn’t moved in years.   

Is it dangerous? Without practice, it’s easy to lose control of your own movement only to end up slamming into a solid object, drifting into the furnace, wasting salvage, or even causing your own death. You can save money by practicing until you have space to move. So strap on your thrusters, take a deep breath of canned air, and let’s get started. 

To make a plan, use Your Scanner and your Cutting Tool.

The first ship you’ll find yourself salvaging is a Mackerel, a relatively small transport ship. Think of each ship you’re salvaging as a chicken wing: the goal is to get as much of the tissue off the bone as possible for the most profit. Any waste will count against you. Deep-space salvage requires precision and efficiency. 

So when you’re presented with your first ship, you’ll want to use your scanning tool to get a look at the ship’s layout, and get an idea of where the cut points – the structures marked in yellow on the scanner that hold the ship together – are located. For now, you’ll want to search for an open airlock or remove the thruster cap from the rear of the ship. 

Once you’re inside, use the laser cutter in the stinger configuration for maximum safety to melt each cut point, being careful not to overheat the laser cutter. The heat meter for the tool is located on the side of the hardware, and you’ll also hear a warning tone if you’re close to overheating – which would cause your suit to catch on fire, and any flammable objects around you to also burn or explode. More importantly, this can also kill you, and even if it doesn’t, it hurts quite a bit.

LYNX Counts Every Dollar but You Shouldn’t

The more time you can spend salvaging, the more efficient you’ll be, so keeping an eye on your supplies will always pay off, both for LYNX and for you!! 

All you can do in HardspaceA shift in campaign resources costs. Keep your propellers fueled, air supply full, suit clean, and consumables stocked up. You can sometimes find supplies inside the ships you’re salvaging, but don’t bet on that; it’s important to pay attention to the levels of each of your resources so you don’t suddenly find yourself fighting for breath because you were too focused on your cutting. 

LYNX arranged for a kiosk to be installed in your living space. It will provide all of these items and more as long as the money is available. This isn’t the time to be tight with your money; dying and having to pay for a new body is a lot more money than investing in a safe and smooth shift. Remember that each shift in the campaign mode lasts for 15 minutes, so it’s important to keep an eye on the clock in order to make the most money possible to repay your debt to LYNX.

In many ways your attention is the most valuable resource among them all. It is your most precious resource. Use it well! Follow this advice and you’ll have a great first day with Hardspace – now available on Xbox Series X|S and included with Xbox Game Pass.
