This paper deals with the notion of equational compactness and related concepts in the special case of G-sets for an arbitrary group G. It provides characterizations of pure extensions, pure-essential extensions, and equational compactness in terms of the stability groups of a G-set, proves the general existence of equationally compact hulls, and gives an explicit description of these. Further, it establishes, among other results, that all G-sets are equationally compact iff all subgroups of the group G are finitely generated, that every equationally compact G-set is a retract of a topologically compact one, and that for free groups G with infinite basis there are homogeneous G-sets which are not equationally compact.
