Forty thousand dead satellites are worth a fortune to whoever hauls them in. That's you. Scrap Orbit is an idle salvage-company sim played through a mission console: monospace telemetry, an amber radar sweep, and numbers that climb while you sleep. • Eleven salvage rigs, from Magnet Skiffs to the Mass Driver • Live radar: tap priority windows for instant bonus hauls • Rotating timed contracts with real payouts — deliver tonnage, build fleets • DEORBIT: burn the whole operation into permanent Alloy (+12% each) and spend it on tech that survives every reset • Automation bays that buy rigs for you, up to once per second • Milestone bonuses at 10/25/50/100/200 of every rig • Rigs keep hauling offline (up to 16 h) • Fully on-device: no account, no connection, nothing collected Hold orbit. Get rich. Burn it down. Repeat.
