I have re-entered Tau-44 and managed to mine some more K'vori from the planetoid. GRN patrols seem to swarm around the area; That battleship is watching my entry point far too closely for my liking, immediately ordering nearby fighters to target me on sight. It's starting to become a nuisance, but thankfully the patrols avoid Palawan at this time. I managed to infuse the metal into my Virage's hull plating while in orbit, and have kept some in the cargo hold for personal use later; I'll probably upgrade the computing systems after I find a safe place.
I had set my course for the Freeport in Tau-37, but an Outcast capital ship was blocking the jumphole. I've diverted to Java station for now. I'm not certain as to what I'm going to do next though; I've gradually been working towards further upgrades for this Virage, but I feel like buying another ship soon. Unfortunately Xares has insisted that I leave the funds untouched for now, as he's sent Captain Faren to purchase a better transport ship; Apparently his Pelican had a bit of a melt-down and his left engine has failed, so he cannot initiate Cruising speed. It's a serious blow to whatever trading work he was performing.
Xares informs me that Liberty is still receiving regular pirate-incursions as well. I'm almost sorry for the Libertonians, taking the brunt of Rogues, Outcasts and Hackers so often. If I don't return to O'Theta I may head back to Liberty space and start doing some work there.
