The '''Search and Rescue (SAR)''' [[Careers|career]] concerns providing assistance in emergency situations. Certain Legal Salvage items, such as escape pods (occupied or damaged), "black box" flight recorders, and personal effects, can be turned in to a station's [[Search and Rescue Agent]] contact for a reward. [[Station#Damaged State|Damaged stations]] offer passenger missions to evacuate refugees to the nearest [[Rescue Vessel]], and Rescue Vessels offer missions to salvage items from inside damaged stations. [[Search and Rescue Patrol]]s offer fuel to travelers in need, and [[Rescue Team]] ships search for survivors at crisis-stricken areas and warzones. | |||
You can also help a stranded [[pilot]] in deep space by refueling their [[Ships|ship]], repairing the [[Hull Integrity|hull]] or restoring the [[Shield Generator|shields]]. | |||
== Signal sources == | |||
[[Unidentified_Signal_Source|Signal sources]] like [[Degraded Emissions]] and [[Distress Call]] sometimes offer Rescue activities and can contain ships performing rescue operation.<br> | |||
[[High Grade Emissions]] and [[Encoded Emissions]] may possibly also appear with Rescue activities.<br> | |||

For over 11 months, the [[Thargoids]] have been attacking our [[star system|systems]], burning our [[station|stations]], and wreaking havoc in a series of small-scale incursions into [[human]] space - even dancing in the systems around [[Sol]], the cradle of our civilization. So far, 45 stations have suffered attacks, and, while [https://www.operationida.com/ Operation Ida] has been instrumental in getting 17 of those back online, as I write this 2 stations are currently on fire, with basic medicines being imported and civilians being exported onto station-orbiting Rescue Ships.<ref name=":0">[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/9ub2zs/walkthrough_station_evacuation/ Walkthrough Station Evacuation by CMDR TheOriginalBastard]</ref> | |||

There also filters on the [[Galaxy Map|galaxy map]] for "Damaged Starports"; these will be stations that have just been attacked.<ref name=":0" /> | |||

Start with a [[ship]] that's equipped with as many economy-class cabins as possible, a small shield, and a heat sink. Evacuees pay by the head, and they just want a seat; fancy first-class cabins will do you no good here! Everything else is optional, though I recommend an A-rated power plant, if possible, for heat dissipation. Don't bother with a docking computer; that service is offline inside the station. | Start with a [[ship]] that's equipped with as many economy-class cabins as possible, a small shield, and a heat sink.

Other ships obviously work, these are merely some suggestions and guidance. In any event, you'll want to get this ship to an attacked system and head toward the station. | Other ships obviously work, these are merely some suggestions and guidance.

Request [[docking]] from the panicking [[station]] controller, and he or she will give you authorization to land. Put your finger on the heat sink button and enter, slowly. You'll get a warning about increased temperatures; that's why you have a [[Heat Sink|heat sink]]! | Request [[docking]] from the panicking [[station]] controller, and he or she will give you authorization to land.

Once inside, head for your [[Landing Pad]]. There will be debris that can hit you, explosions that can throw your ship off course, and the occasional black box or escape pod that could be retrieved. | |||

As soon as you land, you'll be whisked inside the station so you can start loading passengers. The interface is glitching; that's what happens when a station is attacked. Numbers may appear to be wrong, so no, they're not going to charge you 999 billion credits for fuel. | As soon as you land, you'll be whisked inside the station so you can start loading passengers.

Go to "passenger missions", and start taking as many missions as you can. If you're so inclined, prioritize for whatever factions you like - you'll get a bit of superpower rep for evacuating their aligned civilians. I recommend aiming for small to mid-sized groups (8-15 passengers) at first, saving the smallest ones for rounding out your manifest at the end. You'll often be given a time bonus for prompt delivery; the more groups you have, the more opportunities for this bonus you'll have. | Go to "passenger missions", and start taking as many missions as you can.

As soon as you're fully loaded, launch. You'll probably need to fire a heat sink on your way out, but as soon as you're clear of the station, chart a course for the rescue ship. It's only 5Mm away, which means you won't even have to slow down before dropping out of supercruise! | As soon as you're fully loaded, launch.

You should be making about 10k per head for evacuations, meaning that, for a full Type-6, you should be getting 500k credits per round trip (which takes less than 10 minutes) and closer to 2 million credits per trip in an Anaconda. | You should be making about 10k per head for evacuations, meaning that, for a full Type-6, you should be getting 500k credits per round trip (which takes less than 10 minutes) and closer to 2 million credits per trip in an Anaconda. | ||

=== Tools === | |||
You can support a stranded [[pilot]] or damaged [[Ships|ship]] with: | |||
* [[Fuel Transfer Limpet Controller|Fuel Transfer Limpets]] for refuels | |||
* [[Repair Limpet Controller|Repair Limpets]] for hull repairs | |||
* [[Beam Laser|Beam Lasers]] engineered with [[Regeneration Sequence]] to restore [[Shield Generator|shields]]. | |||
=== Rescue === | |||
Many [[Explorer|explorers]] find themselves in need of [[fuel]] or repairs while wandering the far reaches of the [[galaxy]]. | |||
=== Combat support === | |||
[[Combat]] ships benefit from [[Hull Integrity|hull]] repairs during and after a battle. In [[AX Conflict Zone|AX Conflict zones]] you can support pilots with [[Limpet Controller/Decontamination|Decontamination limpets]] to remove caustic chemicals off a [[ship]]'s hull. You do not engage in direct combat, because support ships are not optimized for that. | |||
=== Reward === | |||
These activities do not guarantee any monetary reward, but it can be an entertaining and virtuous pursuit. | |||
== Related squadrons == | |||
Several [[squadrons]] have volunteers who are dedicated to rescue pilots in deep space such as: | |||
* [[Fuel Rats]] - provide fuel to pilots in need | |||
* [[Hull Seals]] - premier hull repair specialists for ships and vehicles | |||
