Hello shipbreakers,



It’s now been 7 months since the beginning of our adventure in zero-g! Thanks to your support and feedback, we are constantly improving the game. We are extremely grateful for all the love we’ve received so far!

If you want to show your support to the team and rise against LYNX Corp’s questionable work ethic, you can now vote for Hardspace: Shipbreaker to be nominated in the Most Innovative Gameplay category!

Following the reveal of our new Javelin-class starship early this week, the game is now 30% off on Steam until December 1! Stay tuned for more info in the upcoming weeks!

Hello Cutters!

Today we released a hotfix for version 0.2.3. This hotfix adds localization for a bunch of the content added during our last patch and also includes fixes for four pesky bugs:

• Fixed an issue in the Weekly R.A.C.E. bonus calculation where utilizing negative scores and a negative bonus made it possible to get an abnormally high score.
  
• Fixed ECU Coolant tanks being collectible without yanking them, which also prevented the coolant pipes from getting flushed.
  
• Fixed an issue where it is possible for decompression SFX to play infinitely.
  
• Fixed an issue where the Ghost Ship intro music would not respect the player's volume settings.

Be sure to join our fantastic community on Discord if you haven’t already!

See you in orbit,
The Hardspace: Shipbreaker Team

To all LYNX Employees,

This new Haunted Frontier Update brings stories from the very fringes of civilization to Salvage Station Morrigan. It presents unique challenges and dangers to Shipbreakers, from a place outside the bounds of human and natural laws. Dive into this new ship type, but watch out for what may have been brought back with them!



LYNX Corp. is proud to announce that it is expanding its Salvage Operations to include "Ghost Ships" (LYNX does not endorse or support the existence of "ghosts"). These vessels traveled into the Frontier, only to return unmanned and open for salvaging! LYNX does not support the claims that these vessels are being piloted by "a strange force", only that the navigation system is in immaculate condition for salvage! Any Shipbreaker curious about the derelicts’ operations and history is free to investigate (on their own pre-approved time off).

Salvaging these new ship types is going to involve dangerous new challenges, and for all that hard work LYNX is prepared to offer something extremely valuable: STICKERS! The LYNX Research Dept. has unveiled a new way to pay back hard-working employees. For achieving certain milestones and goals, Shipbreakers will be awarded Collectible Stickers that can then be applied to their tools for powerful psychological rewards.


With its newest update, The Haunted Frontier, Hardspace: Shipbreaker continues its streak of additions, featuring the Ghost Ships with new mysteries and perilous dangers, stickers to collect, bug fixes, and quality of life upgrades!

Discover the update with a new teaser trailer, new screenshots, and grab the game at 25% off on Steam.

Greetings Shipbreakers!

We are back today with a new hotfix fixing some issues that appeared in our latest update.

The original issue was that the bonus in our Weekly R.A.C.E wasn’t correctly calculated.

With this fix, players can now fully enjoy their right bonuses according to the time spent in Weekly R.A.C.E. LYNX did everything so our best cutters out there are widely recognized for their talents! The best of the best paving the way to the galaxy!


Best,

LYNX Corp

Greetings Cutters!

We are back this week with a new update introducing our Salvage Runner as well as adding new voice options, cloud saving, and fixing numerous bugs linked to our weekly R.A.C.E!
Thanks to every employee who jumped on our Beta Branch and sent us their feedback and suggestions in the last few weeks.

The Salvage Runner is now ready to be fully added in-game!




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 is 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.



The 0.2.2 update brings you:

• A new ship type added: Salvage Runner
  These rugged vessels are used in the dangerous act of remote salvaging
  Watch out for a variety of salvaged objects appearing in the cargo holds

LYNX Corp has also won over the streaming community - check out today’s trailer as streamers discover, explore and explosively decompress within the zero-G physics system.

https://youtu.be/ih302A5oZFg

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.

Stargazer Geckos

• Additional cut points may spawn in crawl spaces
  
• Thruster systems don't work (Computer terminals and Emergency overrides)

Station Hopper Geckos

• Thruster systems don't work (Computer terminals and Emergency overrides)

Heavy Cargo Gecko

• Some exterior panels may be missing on spawn
  
• The thruster computer terminal doesn't work

Greetings Cutters!

We’d like to give an update regarding our ongoing research into rewards for working hard and in accordance with all five-thousand and nine Articles of Salvage Procedure outlined in your employee manual.

First, an important update on the PosiGel pilot program. The results of this test were clear; while the Gel did produce positive physical sensations, the needed dosage required completely flooding the subject’s suit. Our data showed that this produced a host of complications for salvaging, such as heavily obscured vision and a so-called “sensation of drowning”. We also discovered a significant cost involved in cleaning the Gel from the suits between shifts. We would like to thank all the participants in this pilot program, and reassure them that our Revivification Department is close to fully removing the memory imprints of “drowning”.


Progress! As we all know, constant learning is part of LYNX’s success in today’s stellar marketplace. However, sometimes to go forward, we need to look backward. Our research teams have discovered a powerful technique used in the 20th and 21st centuries to reward hard-working employees. When coal was still a source of energy for humanity, thousands of hard-working individuals such as yourselves would venture deep into the Earth’s crust to retrieve it, through sheer grit and determination.

While they were of course rewarded with the paper and metal currency of the time, the more powerful reward was the recognition and acknowledgement of their hard work by their superiors. This was shown primarily through the reward of “stickers” for achievements and milestones, which could then be proudly displayed on their gear and equipment for others to awe at. For those who prefer to amass groups of things, these “stickers” were also highly collectible:

This discovery is exciting because it doesn’t use any chemicals or medicines to induce positive sensations. Rather, the human body itself produces these sensations when receiving such a reward! Once again, nature has proven that the way we work here at LYNX is the most natural and effective way for the human organism to operate.



We will soon be bringing these rewards to you, our loyal Cutters, in the form of Collectible Decals that can be applied to your tools in order to showcase all that you have achieved! We are working hard to craft the first round of these Decals. Salvaged 10 Class II Reactors? Slap that Decal on your cutting tool. Completed 100 Work Order Objectives? Show it off on your grapple! We hope to continuously find new ways to reward you for doing your job, and for doing it well. We’ll give more details as we get closer to launching the program.

Here’s an example of where the Decals might appear on the cutting tool:



With that, we are proud to announce our first official Decal Creation Contest!

Since your input is incredibly valuable to us, we want your designs for what Decals you would like to see. We know that many Cutters exhibit creative tendencies, and while your Employment Agreement prohibits creative expression while at work in the salvage yard, you are free to explore your creative side in your off-hours.


Following the guidelines listed below, create and send us your own Decal designs. We will judge all submissions and choose a handful to become official entries in the roll-out of the Decal program to all Cutters!

Guidelines are as follows:

• Must be three colours or less
  
  
• Try to use simple, bold designs
  
  
• Avoid gradients or super-fine details; these designs need to stand out while being relatively small
  
  
• The image should somehow convey the achievement behind the Decal
  
  
• All images and artwork must be your own creation or from the game itself! Any form of plagiarism otherwise will be disqualified.
  
  
• Must fit inside 160px by 96px
  
  
• NOTE: Decals can be any shape as long as it fits within these bounds.
  
  
• Check out our rules to learn more!

You can share your designs with us on social media by using the hashtag #LYNXDecal. Note that we may modify any of the winning designs as needed to be used in the official Decal program.

Below are some additional examples as reference:

In celebration of our September update we wanted to give you, the Community, an opportunity to contribute to the lore of the Hardspace Universe. We've been keeping an eye on our Discord Fan-Fiction channel and we must say we are all very impressed by the storytelling chops on display and decided to hold this contest. The top entries will go on to become either text or audio logs to be found on salvaged Data Drives!



To have the best chance of being selected to win the contest and be included in the game, please follow these guidelines:

• We are looking for text logs that shine a light on the following subjects:
  ⭐ Life and Work on Earth or Earth Village
  ⭐ Life and Work on Mars or Mars Village
  ⭐ Traveling via the Rail Gates
  
  
• Use your own words. Not anyone else's. Unless referencing subjects in the current game, any form of plagiarism will be immediately disqualified.
  
  
• Stories that relate to people, places, things already in game are preferred but not mandatory.
  
  
• Be mindful of length. Submissions must be 100 words or less. One submission per person.
  
  
• Please be patient. If we receive even a 1/10 of the submissions we think we are going to get based on how awesome our Community has been up until this point, it's going to take us some time to properly review each submission.
  
  
• Check our rules !

Note that we may need to edit or modify any of the winning narrative logs for use in the game. All texts should be sent to our team on Discord (in #Narrative-log-contest): https://discordapp.com/invite/shipbreakergame

Thank you in advance for all of you that are going to help us further flesh out the Hardspace Universe. To say we are all excited about this contest would be a galactic understatement. So excited!!!


Good Luck Cutters!

The Hardspace:Shipbreaker Dev Team

Hello Cutters!

Today we released a hotfix for version 0.2.0. This fix addresses two very important stability issues:

• A very common crash that mostly occurs when putting a Mackerel's inner frame or airlock into the furnace
  
  
• A common physics bug that would cause objects to become physically unstable and uncontrollable when disjointed from a surface with the grapple

We know how frustrating it is to meticulously peel the entire outer-hull of the Mackerel off, carefully extract every component, and safely defuse the reactor, only to then toss the Mackerel's inner frame into the furnace and instantly crash. That sucks during any shift, but it's especially bad when competing for a high score on the Weekly R.A.C.E.

Likewise, clearing a path through the crawlspace and then trying to detach a Fuel Tank, only to have it jump erratically around and immediately explode, creating a chain reaction that sets off the reactor and nukes half the ship.. also really sucks!

In our testing, this hotfix resolves both those issues.

We mentioned in our last dev video, and in last week's post about common issues, that the team is about to take a much needed two-week break. We felt that it was important to try and fix these two issues before we go, as they were impacting a lot of people’s play experience.

We wish we could fix all the issues in the game! We acknowledge many of you are seeing issues unrelated to the two above. These were just the issues that were the most common and which we were in the best position to address in a hotfix before we go.

Thank you all again for your patience and support! We look forward to coming back in two weeks and seeing what everyone has been up to, who made it to the top of the R.A.C.E. leaderboards, and who has the latest best time for salvaging a Gecko reactor unscathed!

Until then, keep reaching for the stars! But make sure to still pay your daily fees on time.

Thanks,

Blackbird Interactive

Greeting Cutters,

This week, we are back as promised with a new update introducing to you R.A.C.E. (Rapid Acquisition Competence Exercise)!

The Weekly R.A.C.E. is a new initiative from LYNX where Cutters can compete against each other for a highscore on a new ship every week. It’s a level playing field, with each Cutter getting the same tools and upgrades, facing the same ship and objectives, for a shot at the dedicated R.A.C.E. leaderboards. LYNX hopes that this weekly challenge will help Cutters hone their skills and improve their day-to-day salvage efficiency!

ADVISORY: Putting a pressurized airlock into the furnace may cause a crash when working on a Mackerel. Be sure to depressurize airlocks before putting them into the furnace.

The weekly challenge ends every Thursday at 8:30 AM PST (3:30 PM UTC), and a new ship will be available shortly after at 9:30 AM PST (4:30 PM UTC).
