Build warframes, recover frontier technology, and lead a crew through industrial conflicts across Tyraxis.
Armor direction, heat, stagger, and mobility all matter.
New options come from recovered systems, not arbitrary color tiers.
Contracts, routes, and sector conditions change your available choices.
A mission starts with information, not combat. Survey a route, choose a frame, set cooling and power priorities, deploy, then bring whatever survives back to the workshop.
Crew relationships and operational decisions influence which manufacturers trust you, which settlements survive, and which machine technologies become available.
Weather, route, extraction windows, and enemy doctrine alter the ideal build.
Parts can fail, lock, overheat, or become permanently scarred.
Bring back wrecks, cores, fabrication patterns, and intelligence.
