Orbital Burns: Nope, no one's got it. I kinda want to tell but it's too much fun watching everyone try to guess - truly, to be a game developer is to be a sadist who derives pleasure from the pain of players.
I doubt if anybody will, because IMO at this moment the phrase "orbital burns" make absolutely no sense at all. Is it suppose to describe a natural phenomenon? Or an industrial infrastructure? Which meaning of the word "burns" is fitting in here?
Orbital burns sounds to me like some sort of industrial thing. Perhaps for melting metal cheaply, or generating power with infernium. It's probably in orbit because it gives off radiation?
If that's the case it would have better be called a "orbital foundry" or something else, anything that have nothing to do with the word "burn".
My bet would be that "orbital burns" is a kind of natural phenomenon, kind of like aurora but more like naturally occurring fireworks, a good sight-seeing attraction. Tourism is probably a big part of the economy there, with the fireworks and rainforest. More visitor means more people to hire/abduct/kidnap, hence the high import and surplus of crew.
But then the big problem of making the guess is, there are probably commodity/items that are not shown to us.... those that are actually affected by the status...
