Here’s how to avoid becoming another piece of space debris.
Reactors, pressurized cabins, electrical devices, explosive fuel tanks.
One wrong move and you may be sending the whole ship into the furnace in pieces.

Note that these arent the only things in the game that can kill you.
Gravity is, and will forever be, your greatest enemy.

to safely depressurize a ship, first, you should probably safely enter through the airlocks.
The airlocks ensure that any atmosphere within stays where its needed.
You bring up the doors by cranking the lever next to them.
Normally, these are found near the airlock.
Once you activate one of these, the atmosphere will safely be drained.
When done correctly, the right side of your screen will read Unpressurized.
Be careful, though, some ships have multiple cabins that need to be depressurized individually.
Dont think that just because you toggled one regulator, its safe everywhere.
These will be floating around somewhere within the ship, often near the cockpit.
Its a good idea to clear a path between the reactor and the barge before you touch it.
Also, keep in mind that some reactors arent connected to anything, and you might just pull them.
You will eventually hit Class II Reactors, which have a few more steps to their dance.
Clear a path before you do this.
Atlas ships in particular have a design where the fuel cut-off is located behind the thruster.
The danger isnt over, however.
The two halves of the nacelle pop apart, which can cause you to get thrown around or crushed.
Removing the thruster and cutting the fuel may be the most dangerous procedure in Hardspace: Shipbreaker.
Just stay calm, avoid the fire, and work fast.
However, there are ways to make the whole endeavor a lot safer.
The bigger ships also may have fuse boxes scattered around their cabins.
Its very important to find these and turn them off before mucking around with anything electrical.
Failure to do so might be quite shocking.
To do so, simply remove the fuse when theblinking red lights that border it are off.
Its also one of the easiest to handle.
Simply pull off the front panel and rip out all the canisters.
Thats all there is to it.
Nothing is going to explode in your face if you go too slowly.
