So, as may be obvious, I just got out of charon. Sadly, I escaped through the St. Kats gate. I'm looking for advice on what to try next.

I'm playing as an enemy of the commonwealth, so I have less options. If there's a well stocked armor station here I'll be fine of course, but I'm assuming there isn't.

I have no insurance. I lost my first when I used the dry dock instead of korolov by mistake.
I have heavy weaponry: Akan 30 with 300 shells, RK15 partisan, malakyev+40% + 170 white + 80 red. I also have a slightly damaged 1m.

My options are:
Turn myself in to the commonwealth and hope they don't have enough evidence. 25% chance.
Go beyond St. Kats until I find a place where I can replace my armor/buy repair kits.
Try to go back through charon and the swarm. I could patch my armor some systems back.

I'm favoring option three right now. With Hiro's optimizer and a sustain I might be able to survive, and I'd be in good shape then.

Well you still have the ionizer, that's a bit of an issue.
When you say enemy of the CW, have you actually destroyed a station or something? IIRC an arrest for destroying CW property is a gameover automatically...

I favor option 3. Sustain will save you life through Charon. Particle weapons do wonders there btw...
My first mod, mostly done, still balance testing.

Yeah, the 7 HP wasn't that useful.

Several. There's was still a chance they wouldn't have had enough evidence to convict me.

I did make it back through Charon, but when I went back through the gate there were no corsair i-ii. Lots of other stuff of course but still. I guess I must have killed them all though I'd thought there were still several left.

I'll post again when this game ends.

Your best option WOULD be to get repair items and fix your armor, but with the commonwealth almost guaranteed to put you to death, it's unlikely you'll find that in St K.

No, kill a station and it's insta death; they are guaranteed to arrest you

Seeing as I have gotten off after blowing up stations, I don't think so.

EDIT: the "If this is a serious crime, then always prison" line in the xml refers to the fact that you don't get fined first, if that's what you're thinking of.
