ChapterIIGame Loops · 8-beat timelines

Eight beats, every loop.

Pick a loop. Walk a guided 8-beat timeline — pick · prep · gear · ship · navigate · land · do · recover. Each beat carries 30 to 60 seconds of audio, body copy, and a few sideways tips for when things break.

Loop

II.1

Cargo

Hauling boxes between stations for predictable, low-drama profit. The slowest path to UEC, and the most reliable.

    II.2

    Mining

    Scan, fracture, extract. Ship-mining (Prospector, MOLE) or handheld with the multitool — same rhythm, different scale.

      Bounty hunting

      Accept contract, hunt target, collect. Clean reward loop. Pick the right tier for your ship and skill.

        II.4

        Salvage

        Vulture or Reclaimer. Strip wrecks for RMC and CM. The most patient of the loops, and the most lucrative when it works.
