Hardspace: Shipbreakers is a new game by Blackbird Interactive where the objective is to break down the hulls of derelict spacecraft and salvage as much of the valuable materials as possible. Available from the Steam Store today: https://bit.ly/2AlVJ6h You're a shp breaker working in zero-g inside a ship breaking facility in Earth orbit, with a selection of sci-fi tools at your disposal, but even with the tools it's a lot of hard, dangerous work as you cut into the hulls of derelict ships, so you can isolate the valuable parts. Cutting in the wrong place might mean rupturing a pressure hull, tearing open a fuel tank or triggering a minor nuclear incident that makes a giant mess that's hard to salvage.

The game is being released on Early Access with plans for future content updates to expand the ship designs, mechanics and stories. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kj0FKs7l8sA

Rods from God was a space weapon concept that involved dropping 'Telephone pole' size tungsten projectiles onto target on earth.... The original concept was attributed to Jerry Pournelle who went on to be a successful sci-fi author, and also an investor in Rotary Rockets Inc.
