A checked unsuccessful run — not a completed mission

Start here

Choose Start Run and read Training Field. The briefing gives 75 seconds and a target of 50 Scrap. Launch starts separate time, score and scrap counters.

The rules you need

  • Steer with the desktop movement keys or touch controls. Moving toward the top can take the skiff into incoming hazards.
  • Magnet, Shield and Dash are separate module buttons. Read their readiness and cooldown rather than assuming a press is always available.
  • A defensive module is not collection credit. The SCRAP objective, remaining time and survival state must all be checked.

Training Field: distinguish collecting scrap from surviving pirate fire

The checked run began at SCRAP 0/50. An upward movement followed by Magnet reached an observed 5/50 while the skiff's health bar was already low. Trying to retreat and activate protection came too late to save the run.

  1. Make collection visible in the objective counter

    After moving upward and using Magnet, the live HUD showed TIME 62, SCORE 5 and SCRAP 5/50. Mag Pulse had an approximately 12-second cooldown. Five scrap is progress, but only one tenth of the mission target.

  2. Read the terminal result

    The following protection and retreat inputs did not produce a completed mission. The game ended at Skiff Destroyed — Destroyed by pirate fire — Score: 5. The result identifies the failure; it does not prove that Shield makes the skiff invulnerable or that the 50-Scrap objective was reached.

What this example teaches

Rushing into the upper field traded survivability for a small amount of salvage. Module feedback and a higher score were insufficient to complete Training Field. A better attempt needs shorter, readable movements around threats and a ready defensive option before the health bar is almost empty.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Do not equate a cooldown appearing with successful collection or full protection.
  • Do not use the score as a substitute for SCRAP 50/50. They happened to show five in this capture; that is not a rule that every point is mission scrap.
