Derelict Ships

# Derelict Ships Board abandoned colony hulls and crawl them **deck by deck**. This is active play — you choose every turn on the map. Idle battle and harvest keep running in the background. ## Keys - Earn **1 Derelict Key every 8,000 actions**. Rarity is rolled when the key is granted. - Buy a **Standard** key for **300 Boss Marks** at the NPC store. - Rarities: **Standard → Hardened → Prime → Apex**. Higher rarity keys raise both rewards and mob pressure for that boarding. ## Systems (separate from Void Suit) Upgrade on the Derelicts **Systems** tab. Levels are independent of Void Suit. Each level costs the matching **void relic** plus **Xeno, Starstone, Neutronite, and Glowvine** (same amount of each), all scaling with level. | System | Relic currency | Effect | |--------|----------------|--------| | Containment Seals | Seal Fragments | Deck count. Every **50** levels unlocks another deck. | | Null Lattice | Null Lattice | +**1%** rooms per deck per level. | | Salvage Rig | Salvage Cores | Reward multiplier. | | Threat Scanner | Threat Spurs | Mob pressure + combat loot. | | Signal Mapper | Signal Lenses | Key rarity **odds**. Every **100** levels unlocks the next tier in the roll — never guaranteed. | Deeper decks multiply both mob difficulty and rewards. Hull combat stats still come from your Void Suit when fighting aboard. ## How a boarding works 1. Spend a key to board a named hull. 2. Explore the deck map. Visited compartments stay marked; your current room glows. 3. Move to any connected room (you can revisit old rooms). 4. Clear hostiles before leaving a combat compartment. Pick one salvage option from caches. 5. Reach the lift to **Descend** to the next deck, or **Extract** on the final deck to cash out. Abandoning spends the key with no extraction payout. ## Related pages - [**Void King**](https://www.idlegalaxia.com/help/void-king) - [**Void Rifts**](https://www.idlegalaxia.com/help/void-rifts) - [**Currencies & Materials**](https://www.idle
