Hopefully one day there will be an incentive to save the Korolov station, or at least access to the same mission you can get for failing to save it.

Currently, you are better off watching the Korolov station burn. Burn!!!

Maybe you get the same mission, a reward, and some wingmen for that mission.

I guess there is something of a financial reward for saving Korolov. Those light blast plates on the Drakes are worth a lot of money.

Nothing you can't get with a few hits on bases, and you lose your chance at an early mil ID.

I've found that defending Korolov in Charon in ver0.98x is now tremendously easier than before, for several reasons.
1. the weapon enhancement system is now changed and the weapon optimizer rom is so powerful
2. enemies' AI has changed, and when the shields are down the corsair-II's usually give up the raid and flee (how unprofessional!), giving the station and the player much more time to deal with the rest.
3. lower level shields are much more powerful than previous versions and you don't need anything more than the class II to protect yourself, which was rather suicidal in 0.97.

So, in 0.97 you needed to have ridiculously powerful weapons to save the station (a lancer cannon, for example) but now, if you are skilled, the omni-turbo enhanced with a laser collimetor and a weapon optimizer rom may suffice.

And, I once have saved the station just with Wolfen with omni-lasers and a collimator!
...Well, actually I used three of them. Kinda stupid but effective, you know.

I've just joined the "I Saved Korolov Station Club".

Ship loadout:

Wolfen
1x Fast Omni-Turbolaser
1x Omni-laser, +10%
1x Omni-laser
Laser Collimator
Both wingmen from Commonwealth Fortress missions

The station survived with only 46% damage. We kicked butt.

Yeah, I saved it in my most recent game. Freighter w/ fast collimited omni turbo laser and nami missle launcher. I think I had a yoroi s100 or a class III and some random armor.
