How to Play
Hold the energy arrow inside the green optimal window and the Optimal Charge bar fills; let the arrow fall below the window and that bar drains back down. Drift above the window into the red and the Overcharge bar fills instead. Fill Optimal Charge to 100% and the rock cracks clean into fragments. Let Overcharge hit 100% and the rock detonates — it's destroyed with no ore, your hull takes heavy damage, and the blast can knock out an equipped laser or module (you'll re-buy it in the store). The Optimal bar fills faster near the top, so ease off before you overshoot.

// Difficulty
Every scan is rated Easy → Medium → Hard → Challenging → Impossible, computed against your current rig — ship, heads, mounts, and passive modules all factor in. Impossible means your rig can't physically reach the window; skip it, upgrade in the Store, or fire an active power module (Surge) to force it. High resistance raises the window; high instability makes the arrow jitter; composition decides profit.
// Store & upgrades
Extracted ore fills your hold; End Run sells it and banks aUEC to your credits, which persist between sessions. Spend them in the Hangar & Store on bigger ships (Prospector → Golem → MOLE → Arrastra), better heads, and modules with real trade-offs — Rieger adds power but narrows the window, Focus widens it but drops power, Torrent trades window for charge rate, filters cut inert for cleaner yield. A hull breach mid-run loses whatever's still in the hold.
// Fragments
Purple fragments extract straight to the hold. Yellow fragments are big children that must be fractured again — click one to load it and crack it down.
// Gadgets
Buy a deployable gadget in the Hangar (BoreMax, OptiMax, WaveShift, Sabir, Okunis, Stalwart — the real Star Citizen lineup) and equip one. Mid-crack, Use Gadget opens a calibration window: a live resonance waveform over three emitter sliders — Propagation, Field Range, and Axial Scatter. Each has a hidden sweet-spot; tune all three until the waveform locks and Signal Lock clears 90%, then Activate to reshape the rock — dropping resistance, calming instability, widening the window or slamming charge rate, depending on the gadget. Each gadget carries a few charges per run, and a cleaner lock means a stronger effect.
