ALERT: Fires in Imperial space!

are there any unique rewards/achievements for helping out a burning station? i'm farming mats in HIP 36601 at the mo
Sometimes there are decals. You can also make a lot of credits if you have the right ship. I have a T7 configured as a bus / train, which I fill to the brim with very rich passengers eager to get out of Dodge. If the rescue ship is close by, you can turn a nice profit in very quick order. I personally should be able to pay off all my carrier bills that have accrued since shelving the game, and then some!

Don't worry Tubbs, they won't get far....
 
However, I have never experienced a burning station in VR.. Hmmm...
One of the most atmospheric experiences in ED I've experienced. I have been to Thargoid and Guardian bases, poked around abandoned settlements and sat & watched sun rise on a distant rock somewhere, but nothing comes close to flying into a burning station; I have phyiscally flinched as parts of superstructure have struck my ship. After experiencing out of curiosity in my Asp, I immediately reconfigured my mothballed T7 as an evacuation vessel.

Extra recommendation to do it in a Lakon vessel to take in as big a view as possible (and loads of heatsinks).

Edit: just seen you don't need evacuation tips ;)
 
So, just the usual problems of an Empire in its final decline?

Decline, yes.
Final, well, would you believe the Empire is now the strongest of the three powers?

At the moment that decline is one thing that both Fed and Imp suffer with. I'm just glad that we get GalNet back to hopefully influence some of those independent pilots to get involved with one power or another.

Or Xeno.. I recon it was a CM who doctored that message... . I was thinking that the on-stream rivalry between the CMs was just office banter, but Arthur has gone to far this time, attacking Bruce's station! :)
Heh yes, I guess there is no Tolmie Outpost so Arf is safe :)
 
Ooohh boy... I'm half way to Colonia...!!!
Sort of me too.... My 21st century puppeteer's other account (in fact his Primary account) IS about 20% of the way to Colonia on his first visit there, and THAT account could do with the Imperial Rank.
I'm his secondary account, am in the bubble, and already have "Duke", but I suppose he'll send me to help out with the evacuations this evening (whilst his other commander sunbathes on a moon somewhere - it's alright for some)...
