How about a stock market the player can invest in?

I believe there is one on Emerald Spinner. I've...actually never gone to check, but so far as I know there is.

Fire Fighter - Dealing with rescue missions, and putting out fires both in personal and mecha scale - some action and decent pay but little renowned

How about adding an EXTINGUISH flag for weapons? It would, naturally, put out fires. It might also come with SMOKE either automatically just usually be added together. It wouldn't do much damage (maybe none at all), but with the SMOKE effect it'd be somewhat useful in battle, and you could have "put out the fire" missions. It'd also be good for defense missions where the attackers had incendiary weapons - instead of just sitting there looking blank while the convoy burns, you could put it out. If you wanted to get serious about this you could even have a cellular-automaton-style fire spreading system, so that blowing firebreaks was a useful technique.
As for weapons, a series of extinguishers with LINE SCATTER EXTINGUISH SMOKE, and a series of missiles with BLAST n EXTINGUISH SMOKE would cover the basics... They'd have to be light, since they'd be only marginally useful, and you'd probably only strap them on when you had a firefighting mission lined up. Though you could reasonably add some that also had RUST, that would be more exciting. You'd also have things like a fire-fighting model of Buru Buru (presumably not space-capable).

I've seen people there talk about it but I haven't figured out how to invest. It's also not clear whether it's just gambling or whether it responds to in-game events (so that the player can get rich through stock market manipulation).
Frumple:
S'in one of the buildings (The bank, mebbe? Yeah, the bank, now that I check it.), some fellow or another (A stockbroker) will let you talk to him then invest X amount (min 25k) into a particular risk (High/medium/low) stock. You go away for a while (24 hours minimum, but it can be more.), come back, and find out whether you made or lost money.
Other than the time component, I'm (fairly) sure it's more or less gambling. That being said, you can make a hefty amount from it; one of the times I threw some pocket change (25k, iirc) into a high risk stock, I came back and got something around a million in cash from the investment.

The investgment thing (in Emerald) is based on your Shopping skill.
