Version-specific help
Version 2.0 (build 5)
This guide covers version 2.0. The current website catalog lists version 2.0. Check the App Store for availability on your device; the features below require version 2.0 or later.
Choose Practice, launch, resume and tap Tether for a first real docking recovery near the station. Directional buttons apply short burns; Brake opposes velocity. Flight Plan pauses the field and lists actual cargo distances. Select an in-range target to resume and attempt attachment. Distances are game units, and the coast preview ignores collisions and tether forces.
Flights save at launch, at regular intervals and when paused or backgrounded. Reopen to resume a paused checkpoint. End asks for confirmation. Records opens the cargo manifest for flights recorded in version 2.0, with CSV and text export through Files. Older scores retain their original summaries without invented cargo details.
Settings > Backup & Restore exports a full Files backup of campaign progress, history, manifests and the active flight. Choose Backup to Restore opens a validated preview; Replace Local Data asks for confirmation. A pre-restore recovery copy is saved in Files under Orbit Salvager > Recovery Backups. Limits are 50 MB and 100,000 recorded flights. Sound and accessibility preferences are device-local. An unreadable checkpoint can be preserved before removal without deleting campaign or history.
Private iCloud commands are optional and manual. Their snapshot contains campaign progress only; preview and confirm before restoring. Use Files for a complete backup. Optional Game Center needs an Apple account and network availability. A saved daily or weekly flight is submitted only while its original UTC challenge period is current.
