O.R.E, the Outer Rim Exploitation Corporation are long established in the lucrative field of deep space salvage. They are one of three to hold a licence for their business and are fiercely proud of it. Their latest find is hulk designation HZ-433, found drifting far from their usual hunting grounds. Nevertheless, initial scans of the hulk are promising and recruitment to exploit it has begun.

ORE are currently recruiting experienced salvage operators and security operatives to secure and strip bare this hulk of it's precious salvage. Transport to the site will be provided, operatives are to return when they are deemed finished using whatever means available. Bonuses will be paid for unusual finds.

Highlights of this release include hand drawn tiles (by me!). I ran out of time to achieve what I wanted due to real life but I thought I'd push out one more version so the latest code was here for the contest.

N.b. Entering the shuttles and using the computer to launch will trigger ending the game.
