This may be a direction that shipbreaker was never intended to go in, but having a more simulator type career mode might be enjoyable. Where you serve your shift, then return to your have to maintain your cutter. Food, liquids, health (medical and physical), mental, and rest. There could also effects that could possibly and negatively effect you. Maybe even a smuggling option for alcohol and drugs(Wich could give positive effects, but run the risk of heavy punishment if lynx catches you).

You could also have the challenge of balancing the cost of living into your profits aswell. Lynx doesn't seem to be a company to give you anything for free.

It could bring some more depth to the game, and might be simple enough to implement.

I look forward to kicking this idea around.
