The Art of Scavenging
Deep Sky Derelict's core gameplay loop is fairly simple. You begin on a space station, which serves as your hub world. From there, you explore progressively harder derelict vessels, with each piece of data retrieved revealing more.

Collecting X number of worm intestines, or delivering energy cells, just to name a few.
The more interesting quests are generally found on the derelicts themselves, be it aiding ravenous garbage disposal units or curing a robot's schizophrenia.
