Load
1. Load scrap into cargo
Scoop the haul into your cargo hold. Every unit you stow is value you still have to get home — unbanked scrap is only a promise until it clears the bank.
Cargo · growth_cargo_20261001
Load scrap. Fly heavy. Bank — or drop it for rivals.
CLASHROIDS cargo is the haul risk loop: load scrap into cargo, fly loaded (heavier / more exposed), then bank it safe — or die and drop for rivals. Free in the browser. Steam Coming Soon (app 4296990) — wishlist toward 10K+.
The cargo loop
Fly
2. Fly loaded
A full hold makes you heavier and more exposed. You move like a prize — slower to escape, louder on the map, and worth hunting for anyone watching the lanes.
Bank
3. Bank it safe
Reach a safe bank and lock the haul. Banked scrap is yours; everything still in cargo is a countdown until someone else claims the drop.
Drop
4. Die and drop
Get caught loaded and you spill cargo for rivals. The risk is the game: greed fills the hold, discipline banks it, greed again turns your haul into their payday.
Why cargo risk sticks
- » Load scrap into cargo → fly loaded (heavier / more exposed) → bank it safe OR die and drop for rivals.
- Distinct from full-economy scrap (smash rocks → bank → hex → turrets), wreck-recovery salvage (mark wreck → scoop hull → bank), and hit-and-run raid (smash in → scoop → bank → extract) — cargo is the loaded-haul risk between scoop and bank.
- No invented keybinds, tech-node names, Lab steps, or weapon stats — trust what the belt shows when your hold fills.
- Wishlist on Steam so Early Access fleets land already knowing a full cargo is a target.
