Well, lets put the fun aside for a moment and talk about facts. For all of you who are not into the PTU currently, I'll take the liberty to write about my experiences I've made within and around GrimHex, the pirate base, which is about to be released within mini-PU version 2.5.
First question: how to get to GrimHex? Well, thats the easy part: just shoot another player outta space OR deactivate a comm array. As soon as you have Crimestat level 1, you can choose GrimHex as QT destination.
GrimHex ist positioned behind Yela. But, most easiest way of all: once having crimestat level 1 - kill yourself. You then awake at GrimHex.
Now, my experiences so far within PT(!)U(*).
Rule No.#01: Do not trust anyone!
That were good times, when you could get into the airlock together with other StarCitizens, for the commonly walking to your waiting ship. These times are over at GrimHex!
- The first time I walked into the airlock together with another user, I noticed a little bit too late that, once the inner door is shut, you can use your guns. A second later I got shot in the back! Thus, always keep at least one eye on the other player - best case, only get alone into the airlock.
- There were times, when you could start multicrewed ships with other players, fly around, having some fun. Not at GrimHex. My advice: only fly alone. Once you opened your ship, even if you have "agreed" with another player to run together to your ship and fly together, you almost can be sure to become a bullet in your back.
- I strongly recommend NOT to run blindly on the airfields. There are snipers all around! When planning to get safely to your ship, use yourself your snipergun and scan carefully the airfield. But be sure to make it fast - always have one ear and eye behind you! For the next player will come outside and shoot you right in your back! After successfully scanning the airfield - run! And make sure a) to use the shadowed areas and b) if in doubt - shoot first.

Have fun at GrimHex!
(*)...I marked it with a "!" because my suggestion is, that once mini-PU is getting live, things will only getting worse. I'm just sayin' - ye be warned.

Some additional information:
- for Kareah is the only possible location to get rid of your crimestat level, it is highly overrun by pirates and security.
- the space around GrimHex is as dangerous as the station itself. Again: trust noone. And be sure, to punch the boosters once you started your ship. Otherwise you are respawning at GrimHex way too fast.
