Thread the debris field, shoot what you can't dodge, and survive the mini-boss waiting every 40 sectors. Big rocks break into shrapnel and mines burst into spray, so every kill makes more to dodge. Grab weapon cores, overdrive, pods and bombs. Take a hit and it strips your loadout — a pod first, then a weapon tier.
Grazing past debris is survivable — only a hit near the cockpit counts. The sky changes every 10 sectors as you cross faction territory. Every target destroyed and every item collected earns points. On death your points are multiplied by the sector you reached — depth is worth nothing on its own, and everything as a multiplier.
