Space Salvage: Ship Happens

Welcome to the SSC, where life is cheap but scrap is priceless. Pilot your pod through neon-soaked junkyards, dodge deadly hazards, and take "advice" from your amoral AI, SARA. Upgrade your ship, swap gear mid-mission, and try not to get fired—or exploded. The galaxy isn't going to clean itself.

Overview

About this game

You’re a disposable space janitor working for the worst corporation in the galaxy.

Your job? Salvage wrecks. Meet quotas. Don’t die.

Your chances of success are… not great.

💀 WELCOME TO SALVAGE

Drift through dangerous space sectors, picking apart wreckage while everything around you tries to kill you.

  • Strip ships for valuable scrap

  • Navigate hazards, debris, and hostile encounters

  • Get greedy → get dead

Every run is a risk. Every decision matters. And your employer expects results.

🤖 MEET SARA (YOUR “HELPFUL” AI)

You’re not alone out there.

SARA is your onboard AI assistant:

  • Cheerful

  • Encouraging

  • Completely fine with you dying

Expect “helpful” advice like:

“This area appears safe.”
(It is not safe.)

🔧 BUILD YOUR FLYING SCRAP HEAP

Start with barely functional junk.
Turn it into something slightly less embarrassing.

  • Swap modules mid-mission or face the consequences

  • Experiment with loadouts and playstyles

  • Upgrade your pod into a neon-powered salvage machine

Or explode trying.

ADAPT OR DIE

Space doesn’t care about your plans.

  • React to unpredictable situations

  • Manage risk vs reward constantly

  • Push deeper for better loot… or escape while you still can

Most failures are your fault.
SARA will agree.

🍻 CLOCK OUT (IF YOU SURVIVE)

Return to the station, collect your pay, and prepare for the next shift.

  • Take on new contracts

  • Improve your chances (slightly)

  • Pretend you’re in control

🧠 CORPORATE VALUES

  • Life is cheap

  • Scrap is priceless

  • Productivity is mandatory
