I have no idea who these people are, but I'm sure they're important to the plot in some way.

Kill them.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Lez go shoot 'em!

[Zorgn]

Shoot the Imperial Commerce guys, and shanghai the parolee. We can put him to work on some backwater planet smuggling gum for us.

[RedWarrior0]

Zorgn strikes again with his amazing idea.

[Sensei]

Woah, there. These are all coming from the space station. Like, it's a city. A big one, even. Are you completely sure you want to charge into a foreign city you know nothing about guns a-blazing and open fire on a small atmospheric vehicle (read: flying motorbike) with you battlefleet, in the attempt of killing a communist rent-a-cop and recruiting a small-time vandal to your party?

Y/N?

If not, you can suggest something more subtle to do.

[RedWarrior0]

Find someone to put to work on some backwater planet smuggling gum for us.

[Sensei]

I'll chalk that one off as 'Nonchalantly fly in, try to establish smuggling contacts.'

[RAM]

I bet that a bunch of people grabbed all their valuables and fled Fairies in a woefully underdefended fleet...

[Zorgn]

"My cause is just... my will is strong... and my gun is very, very large."

Two out of three isn't bad. Shoot the cop, grab the guy, and get out of Dodge before the city scrambles fighters. A sort of timed rescue mission would be a fun change from the usual 'go there, shoot that', IMO. We might even pull it off.

[RAM]

There is no cop, there are no guys, it is just a random transmission you picked up...

[Diakron]

IT'S ALIVE!!!

I'll chalk that one off as 'Nonchalantly fly in, try to establish smuggling contacts.'

taht sounds good to me

[Sensei]

Unfortunately, the awesomeness I can create is somewhat limited by the sandbox mode- I can't for example, tell an enemy where to go, make something you can't move through, or have enemies that don't immediately execute prisoners. TBH, there's enough reflexes involved, that doing any sort of multiplayer (even with, say, a live feed) is very disjointed. That's one of the causes for the recent heavier emphasis on the roleplaying segments. But... I'll see what I can do for something more complex. 

Following the most plausible option, you approach the station's space. It's over a large planet, which you can land on (the station is mostly there as a stage for commerce, and to minimize rocket-booster emissions within the atmosphere). However, it's heavily blockaded. It would probably be difficult to smuggle so much as a fresh fruit through the wall- though it'd probably also be profitable.

"You are entering Raish, member of the Utean empire. Due to war crisis, all non-citizens in this area will be detained within Raish airspace until they can be cleared. State your citizen number or wait for imperial police to escort you to dock. Please remember that there is no smoking allowed in the launch bay."

-Run the blockade out of here
-Go to the planet (it might be a problem to get out, since they probably want a background check first)
-Guess a citizen number
-Pretend to be an Ambassador of Yukaystenkyrvingstixlistan

[RAM]

Identity theft, fun for the whole family!
 (of course, I am still drifting through deep space, so I don't get a vote...)

[Zorgn]

An ambassador, huh? I think we could pull off acting as a heavily armed Ambassadorial Escort to allow us to get closer, or even inside the station where we can get more things to shoot at. Planetside sounds like a bad idea to me, and guessing citizen numbers even worse.

I'd forgotten this, but we're here for the doom moon, aren't we? Or to find out about this empire, anyway. Perhaps we should wait to kill them until they tell us where their fearless leader is holed up, or grab the station's black box if that fails.

[Sensei]

You guys still out there?

If you just demand a fight, I can always make that happen.
