Info about Nonentity Galaxy:

Official game description:
One-line gameplay loop
----------------------
**Take a contract → choose how to handle encounters → salvage & recycle → refit your fleet → return, settle the bill, and head out again for bigger risks and bigger rewards.**
This isn’t a lone ship run—it’s **fleet deployment and tactical decision-making**. Let the AI handle routine combat, or take manual control to focus fire and reposition for an edge:
*   **Formation & positioning** shape your damage coverage and survival
*   **Target focus** changes the pace of fights
*   **Fight when you must—retreat when you should** (getting home is part of winning)
Roguelite resource strategy: salvage, rebuild, repeat
-----------------------------------------------------
Every sortie is a gamble. Routes, battles, and encounters come with different rewards and costs. Winning isn’t enough—you must manage **expenses, attrition, and salvage value**, because what you bring back is how you grow stronger.
*   **Module builds**: swap better modules on the spot—power spikes you can feel immediately
*   **Route gambling**: safer paths offer stability; riskier ones can yield rarer modules and bigger payouts
*   **Cut your losses**: retreating is a strategy—but deductions are real, and the settlement will tell the story
Dark humor, written into the rules
----------------------------------
The galaxy’s glory belongs to “civilization.” The mess is for field agents.
You’ll face absurd incidents, faction politics, and corporate bureaucracy—where dark humor isn’t just dialogue, it’s the system itself:
*   Sometimes you think you’ve “paused”… and it turns out you just triggered another procedure and another cost
*   Sometimes you win the battle… then watch your earnings get sliced before they reach your pocket
Here, the enemy isn’t only enemy fire. It’s also the rules.
