Dead Wake. Tanks drink infected rock. Real kit is in wrecks and lost EVA. The outer dark is the start — the prize is sunward, and it will try to cook you.

Briefing
How the belt works
You woke in a cutter at Dead Wake. Outer dark is thin. The belt starts to mean something. Earth–Mars still has navy steel. Sol still has the burn.
Fly
W throttle · S dampen · A yaw left · D yaw right. Hold RMB or Z to zoom. Mouse look. Shift boost. X cockpit, hold Left Alt to free-look.
Survive
Fuel is infected rock. Ice is air. Mites at the wake, corona at Mercury. The sun cooks you as you go in — radiators and rad packs for the burn. Shields are silent: no bubble, just the bar.
Salvage
Rocks feed you. Real kit is in wrecks and junk people lost. Hold F, pick what you take. Outer dark is thin. Earth–Mars and Sol hide looms, rails, and solarite.
Scan
Fit a deep scanner, then tap P. The ping marks hulks, caches, infected, and pirates on the glass. Without a scanner the radio tells you to mill one.
Stations
Dock Wake Relay, Relay Nine, Belt Yard, Phobos, Luna, Io, Titan. F walks the deck. W undocks. B places hab, turret, or dock. N opens the Sol chart. Mill, cook, or fit the hull your way.
