NEVER ENTER THE SHIP. STAY IN THAT AIRLOCK. The airlock is the TEMPLE of the Scavenger and none else may enter your sacred realm. If they dare, VENT THE SHIP IMMEDIATELY, killing them before they can put on your sacred EVA suit. Never enter the ship because if the crew needs to get any items, they will all be outside the airlock. The ship is alien to you, and you should only be within it when you are disintegrated by a fighter locking on to you and shooting you with its gun, then and ONLY then will you be forced to trudge within the realm of the "Ectypicals" and their non-EVA suit stature.

YOU ARE THE KNIGHT OF METEM, AND SHALL KNOW NO FEAR. Look upon these stupid, triangular "fighters." The gunner is USELESS in expressing the full FURY that these foul ships inspire, so like all devout forces of METEM you must fling your body towards it at high velocity! The impact of your fleshy, biomass-filled form will SMASH into the fighter and destroy it instantly, securing a victory for Ectypes everywhere. Yes... even for the Ectypicals... Sacrifices must be made.

UPDATE: YOU CAN THROW ♥♥♥♥ AT THEM USING THE PAYLOADS AND THE LONG THROW PERK! MELEE EVA IS VIABLE NOW! LONG LIVE THE SCAVENGER!!!

THROW THE SCOOP OUTSIDE THE SHIP IMMEDIATELY UPON SPAWNING IN (Recycling is reserved only for the holy scrap). It is a tool designed to TRICK honest engineer Ectypicals into siding with the DARK FORCES OF THE HOLLOW. To collect items outside the ship, simply acquire the skill to pluck them from outer space using your grappling hook and bring them through the airlock one by one AS METEM INTENDED. Be sure to lecture your Captain Ectypical on the true nature of the scoop.

SUFFER NOT THE ECTYPICAL TO LIVE. All the Ectypicals on your ship must put all of the gene points into the scavenger tree AS METEM INTENDED. If any have deviated from the true will of METEM, "Preserve" the Ectypicals in the cold vacuum of space. There will be no compromise, for they are forced to languish while you will achieve a higher form of EVA ASCENSION (and potential decension, since the EVA suit is cool like that).

THERE IS ALWAYS MORE THINGS TO SCAVENGE. Just entered? Scavenge. Finished objective? Scavenge? Reclaimer arrived? NEVER. STOP. SCAVENGING. Just look at this small nano alloy cluster I obtained in my backyard. ALL OF THIS CAN BE YOURS IF YOU KEEP SCAVENGING. The Void is our school cafeteria, and we are stealing all the tea packets, dishes, and silverware. FAREWELL, TRUE METEM PATRIOTS.
