Our fourth month anniversary is coming in just a few days and to celebrate, the game is now 25% off for the first time ever! If you have been thinking about applying to LYNX Corp, now is the moment!
The September Equinox community event also arrived today, bringing two competitions open to salvagers everywhere! These include a contest to write an in-game narrative log, and another to design a collectible decal. The two winners will have their submitted content implemented in-game, as well as other prizes still to be announced. Players can join the Hardspace: Shipbreaker Discord or check out our latest Steam News for more information!
Our research team is working day and night on bringing you the best salvaging projects of the galaxy. We are currently studying our upcoming Salvage Gecko and we now only need you and your talents to make it memorable.
WHAT IS A SALVAGE GECKO?
The Salvage Runner is a model of Gecko-class ship designed for remote salvage and recovery. LYNX Salvage operates the vast majority of Salvage Runners in service, and has been aggressively trying to corner the market and push out their closest competitor, Hanzo Freight.
Salvage Runners are industrial vessels outfitted with large Salvage Holds and decent-sized Crew Quarters for longer missions. Typically used for salvage operations that are either too hazardous or too broken up to haul to a yard, you never quite know what you’re going to find in the holds of these decommissioned ships.
One of the key components specific to the Salvage Runner are the mechanical Utility Arms scattered around its outer hull. These manipulators are critical for remote salvage operations, but they can be retro-fitted for a variety of purposes and seen as highly valuable.
