It’s Pretty Rad
As if dismantling a derelict spaceship wasn’t already hazardous enough, developers Blackbird Interactive have added radiation toHardspace: Shipbreaker. The Pretty Rad update dropped this week for the sci-fi ship scrapping sim, making it so players can find and extract Radiation Filters on their looting expeditions. This is easier said than done, however, as those Filters are rather fragile, and can drop radioactive particles if you so much as bump the thing.
Radiation Filters can appear in ships with Hazard Level 6 and above, starting at Certification Rank 9, so you’ll have to have a bit of experience beforeImagine Dragons start blasting tunes at you.

Hardspace Shipbreaker Is Our New Space Sim Obsession
“Our goal with this element was to create spatial challenges through its placement, and to have players think on their feet and adjust their path through a ship depending on changing circumstances,“the devs say. “We also wanted to create an element that did not have a binary state of catastrophic failure or perfect salvage, and provide more of an escalation of danger.”
OurHardspace: Shipbreaker reviewsays it’s “a brilliant and therapeutic space simulation, and a quiet celebration of the simple act of deconstruction.” I imagine with the added radiation it’s a little less therapeutic than usual, but still good fun.
Hardspace: Shipbreaker is still in early accesson Steam, and it’s currently 30% off in the Summer Sale, pricing it at £16/€18/$18.
