 === Hacker Outposts ===
-In some Anarchies you will find a [[Hacker Outpost]]. These are huge inhabited asteroids, usually hidden in an asteroid field far away from the main station and GalCop's zone of influence. If you don't get a clue by one of their henchmen you won't find it. And if the henchman doesn't accept you as a fellow privateer you will have to tease him a little before he will share his information (since v 2.0).

And if the henchman doesn't accept you as a fellow privateer you will have to "tease" him a little before he will share his information.
 Even though the Hackers prefer Anarchies with a higher tech level, they are still technologically far ahead of that themselves. The Hackers are welcoming to a pilot who is—for whatever reason—in some trouble with GalCop, and they have a solution to offer—for a price. If you want, they can hack into GalCop's central database and clear your whole legal record, provided you have enough money to maintain the quite expensive sub-ether broadband connection they need for their work.
-Apart from that you may be able to make some good deals with the Hackers. Living far away from the space lanes they are always in need of all every-day supplies. And they are happy to obtain the raw materials for their home-built computer systems. On the other hand there is not much pastime in the outpost apart from building sophisticated high-end soft- and hardware. So you may stumble over many an occasion in the outpost's market-section.

 === Amnesty Offers ===
 On the other hand, GalCop's military arm, the Galactic Navy, is always interested in skilled pilots with combat effectiveness. The ongoing war against the Thargoids means that the Navy sometimes can't be too picky in whom it calls to active reserve duty. Therefore GalCop issues an [[Amnesty Offers|Amnesty Order]] from time to time. Pilots willing to take the offer have to report at a naval Behemoth parked in a system close to a current war zone. The amnesty offer is announced foremost in all kinds of meeting points for commanders who have a legal record to clear, among them Hacker Outposts and Salvage Gangs. GalCop is only considering an amnesty for criminals in exchange for their help if the Navy is really in a tight spot, therefore expect the deadline until the offer expires to be equally tight. If you make it in time and find the Behemoth, you'll be given a naval assignment. You have to fulfill it—and come back in one piece—in order to get your legal record cleared. Just don't get yourself involved in criminal activities again! (NOTE: everything mentioned in this paragraph requires [[Behemoth|Behemoth.oxp]] to be installed. If you don't have it, you won't receive any amnesty offers.)

-) In some Anarchies, and even in non-Anarchy-systems, usually in the medium-range tech level, you can't miss the local [[Salvage Gang]]. Again this is a huge, hollowed-out asteroid, which is home to a gang of salvagers. You will find them wherever there is something to salvage, i.e. usually in the middle of the main corridor. Most of their business is legal, or at least not illegal enough to draw too much of GalCop's attention towards them. A clever commander will find many a bargain on the asteroid's market, especially as far as used alloys and machinery are concerned.
+=== Salvage Gangs ===
 A visit to the Salvager's equipment store can perhaps be even more rewarding. Don't bother with the original, first-hand equipment. If they have any, it will be more expensive than in the system's main station. But quite often they manage to recover complete and (almost) unharmed equipment items from stranded shipwrecks. They refurbish and sell these items, and this is where you are in for some real bargains, if you feel the urge to fully equip your ship. The only question is: Can you trust the Salvager's advertising slogans? And what exactly is the One-Gunfight-Guarantee™? But anyway, it's cheap; so you can probably even afford to fix it, if it breaks.
@@ Line 30: / Line 32: @@
-) In some of the rougher Anarchy-systems, usually at the lower end of the tech level-spectrum, [[GalCop]] already feels that it is losing control of the space lanes to the pirates. That's the reason for the installation of a [[Military station|Sentinel Station]] at the outer end of the corridor, somewhere close to the witchpoint. Seeing a Sentinel Station guard his way has been a relief for many a trader who had underestimated the real danger of making business in Anarchy-systems.
+=== Sentinel Stations ===
 The Sentinel Station offers not only protection to honest pilots, but also a range of services in its equipment-section. Of course you're dealing with the military here, so don't expect shopping to be cheap. But on the other hand, the superior quality of the offered equipment is out of the question. A clever pilot, however, may make some good deals in the station's market.
@@ Line 37: / Line 40: @@
-) It should also be mentioned that in some cases GalCop's fears were justified. It ''has'' lost control to the pirates, who simply have overrun the military station and turned it into a [[Military station|Renegade Station]]. Unfortunately for harmless traders there is no way to tell from the distance whether the outlaws already have taken over the station. And once you are in scanner range it may be too late. The Renegades love to attack unsuspecting victims (and suspecting victims as well, for that matter). And even if they are busy attacking somebody else, or you have luckily slipped through their scanner grid, please don't attempt to dock with the Renegade Station. No, really; don't. And if you do, don't say I haven't warned you!
+=== Renegade Stations ===
 On the other hand, if you feel you are one of them (and I'm not talking about some parking violations; what I mean is, if you are a real criminal), and have righteously earned a good bad reputation; well, in that case you should seriously consider to pay the Renegades a visit. Their station is as close to a safe haven for all sorts of racketeers as it gets. The equipment-department may not be worth a visit—in the fight following the initial attack on the Sentinel Station much of the stock was destroyed, and generally the Renegades are not very well-known for their particularly caring and careful attitude towards things anyway; so the few intact items remaining on the shelves are much sought after among the criminals on the station, and thus equally expensive. And that is, if you want to risk a gunfight with some awful-looking and heavily armed creatures in the first place, in order to even get to the store and bid for one of the rusty missiles. On the other hand, a visit to the Renegade Station's market may feel like pirates' paradise. It is here that you really appreciate why you chose this kind of career anyway.
-) Even some main stations offer new opportunities hitherto unknown to not-so-law-abiding pilots. If you have managed to dock at all, which may require manual abilities, depending on your register of previous convictions, and have passed through the initial controls without being forced to lick the hangar clean—you know what I mean—then it may be worthwhile to hang around in the equipment department, and watch out for dubious GalCop personnel. Rumour has it that especially in stations in [[Powers_and_Organisations#Anarchy_Worlds|Anarchy-systems]] discipline among GalCop officials has become a little lax, and you might find an officer willing to take a bribe for clearing your legal status. Of course the concience of an official of the Galactic Co-operative of Worlds, invested with a position of responsibility in an environment with a less-than-desirable amount of comfort and safety has its value, and therefore its price. A word of warning, though: It goes without saying that the attempt to bargain in such a delicate matter as bribing someone who has access to GalCop's central database will be at your own risk.
