The services menu at Enceladus Prime provides a mixture of miscellaneous options, from purchasing hotels to skip time and provide crew morale benefits, purchase your monthly insurance, or pay off any standing debts with Enceladus-based organizations.

Hotels & Establishments

Affordable Capsule Hotel

Affordable Capsule Hotel offers accommodations directly converted from K37 ship habitats, presenting space-faring citizens with both familiar and affordable experiences. Located on the rim of the Industrial Ring of Enceladus Prime, this capsule hotel operates in only a fraction of the nominal gravity, making it well-suitable for prolonged zero-gee recovery. -In-Game Description

The Capsule hotel is a basic hotel package. It provides a base time skip of 1 day exactly, at a cost of 100 E$ per person (# of crew + yourself). It is used as the time-skipping package for finishing repairs when you try to start a dive while repairs are undergoing on the currently active ship, and will cost you based on the number of days undergoing repairs, rounded up when the time is not in even days (it will also skip to the time of the finish instead of completing the full day).

Jameson's Insurance

Affiliated closely with Jameson's Salvage, the "insurance" division is a bit of a misnomer, but quite popular with ship captains in the dangerous environs of the rings. The dominant recovery and salvage industry in the rings, they have diversified to the sale of low-cost parts recovered and refurbished from salvage. Many captains have reduced their running costs by a very comfortable margin using their parts and systems, refurbished to a high standard. -In-Game Description

Like stated from the description, insurance is a misnomer. Rather than insurance in the traditional sense, it works as credit for parts used to repair or replace equipment on a ship, valued at twice what was paid for the insurance. Jameson provides a flat 50 000 / 100 000 E$ insurance package at Enceladus Prime, with other packages provided from licensed Salvage Operators within the rings.

Organizational Standings

There are multiple groups working within the rings. This section provides ways to pay fees that may have incurred from accidental or intentional damage incurred by you on one of their members.

Local Vilcy Branch

Based on the nature and severity of the offense, a weregild is assigned - a fine and compensatory payment. While structured as a fine, bounty hunters can contract to receive a bounty for enforcing payment. The Vilcy - an organised bounty hunter group - have the money, hardware, and ex-military expertise at their disposal to be successful in the industry of bounty collection in the rings. Their influence in the field is so dominant that most people seeking to make a career of bounty hunting subcontract under the Vilcy for their license. -In-Game Description

VIlcy allows people to voluntarily pay off their dues while at the station instead of through a vilcy ship while on a dive. Misdemeanors that are paid off at the station will be cheaper for those who volunteer payment.

The Miner's Guild

The miner's guild is a loose association of miners, who share information on who is hostile or friendly to their industry. They remember who wrongs their members, even among their own membership. Here, you can clear your name in their databases by making restitution for any damages. -In-Game Description

All miners in the rings are loosely connected through this guild. Those who are wronged will submit their requests here, where the offender will be fined. Those making payment are reminded, though, that individual captains are not always so quick to forget.

Obonto Habitats

Obonto maintains an SRA series of habitats in the Saturn-Enceladus system, for agricultural and research purposes. These platforms face the same dangers as any ship in the rings, 24 hours a day, and regularly interact and trade with independents in the ring, as delivery runs into the rings are inconsistent. -In-Game Description

Obonto's SRA habitats may be a semi-permanent place to live in the rings, but sometimes the dents incurred aren't so impermanent. Here is where you pay off any damages from mining tools or collisions that may happen. Captains are reminded that an individual station's administration may take a little more time to forgive and forget.
