Running out of scrap
Voyage farming loop
Switch to Voyage mode when you can't afford another Storm Dive loss. Dig every buried treasure mound, crack open resource crates and sell crowns at the pawn broker back at the station. No timer pressure means you can loot at your own pace.
Crew instead of captain
Join someone else's Trampler as deck crew. You keep a cut of extracted valuables without paying the rebuild cost upfront. Useful when you're one bad fight away from zero scrap.
Cheapest rebuilds
The Expedition hull is free; Walker Roster 6 costs about 100 scrap and fits a compact solo layout. Skip luxury compartments until your wallet recovers — one reactor, steering and captain tile is enough to extract again.
Contracts and crowns
Station contracts pay crowns for deliveries and extractions. They're a steady income stream that doesn't require winning PvP fights — pair them with Voyage farming when you're rebuilding.
