Doing so nets you some extra credits and an extra affection point with whichever girl Kayto was closest to in the previous game.

** ''Sunrider 4'' has this during the Denari chapters, where you must choose between siding with Marqui Johanna in negotiating with the [[spoiler:Hawk Faction]] or Prea’tor Qisah in destroying them.

If you negotiate, the Denari will be able to [[spoiler:work with the Mining Union in Ongessite fracking]] at the cost of [[spoiler:constant disruptions to the supply lines, haywire machinery, and constant cast of Ongessite poisoning worse than the planet itself]]. Fighting will [[spoiler:free the Denari from external influence]], but they will [[spoiler:lose their opportunity for economic growth, with many resorting to the criminal underworld in order to make money. To make things worse, the Mining Union resorts to Ongessite fracking in the Neutral Rim, with Fontana rightfully denouncing the unsafe technology, furthering damaging the reputation of the Alliance]].

* InertiaIsACruelMistress: In ''Sunrider 4'', ships and Ryders will continue to move in the same direction at the same speed from turn to turn until you spend energy to change their course. And naturally, the faster they're going, the harder it is for them to slow down. If you aren't careful, your units can end up crashing into each other or their opponents, incurring an energy penalty for the next turn.
