Quick question about docking fees

Hi, I'm pretty new to Evochron Mercenary and I just had a quick question about docking fees. It seems that at some point I docked at a couple of stations and paid the fees to dock. That's fine, but apparently I keep getting billed and I would like to stop it from happening. It tells me the name and coordinates of the stations it's coming from, so I went to one and canceled it (I think I did anyway), but when I went to the other station (it's Command Alpha in the Talison conflict area, if you must know), there wasn't an option to do cancel the fees. Can anyone offer any advice on what I can do?

Hi and welcome Darmak.

You can avoid docking fees by buying a license at a station/city.

If you get billed with a fee from another station than the one you are currently docked with,
it seems that you have stored items/ship in the Hangar of the one that is billing you.

To cancel that you need to pickup/sell the stuff you have there.

Hope this helps. Join MP and you will get a lot of help.

See ya out there!;)

Most stations in HOSTILE sytems have docking fees. They are NOT a one-time fee.
The only way to avoid the fee would be to buy the station. Stations in moderate to good systems do not have fees.
One way to avoid paying fees in hostile systems would be to build your own station.
Storing equipment or supplies is another thing altogether.
Good hunting.

Oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, okay. Yes, I do have items stored there and that would be why the one place stopped charging me. It's not because I canceled my licence (oops), it's because I withdrew everything from the hangar.

re: Docking fees - If you should acquire Legend status (w/ large amounts of $ and rep points), you will no longer be charged docking fees. Just be careful where you dock 'til then.

Or you can change all hostile systems to friendly and then you do not pay docking fees either. However, by the time you change all hostile systems to friendly you would have reached Legend Status anyways unless you keep making bad decisions....LOL....

:P:P:P:P
