Our new update is here!

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.
