You know, Spiral Knights has a lot of quirks to work out, like how little variety is allowed for players in choosing what gear to use out of hundreds of possible options, and, of course, the energy market. But one thing people don't really talk about is the whole story of the game. At the start of the game, the main idea is that the Spiral Knights' ship, the Skylark, crash-landed on a planet called the Cradle. At the core of the planet is a massive energy source that, if the energy can be harnessed, the knights might be able to use it to recalibrate the Skylark and escape the planet.
