Hello everyone, Egg.Eater here.

I flew with a few other people today, though XA-Mosby was the only one who was there the whole time. Anyways, best to start from the beginning.

I set out from Dryden in Ontario for Ouray base in Colorado, and was chased a short distance by a Navy gunboat. The gunboat followed me through the Jumphole to Colorado, and set himself up at the New York Jumpgate. I met him there again, and he engaged me. I played it safe, keeping distance and not letting him get any clear shots, until XA-Mosby, and XA-Pygmy showed up. We all engaged him, Mosby in a fighter, and Pygmy and I in bombers. Pygmy got the last shot. As a final note on this part, if you see this gunboat around again after repairs, the crew is not very experienced, and in my opinion the ship can be taken down by one bomber alone.

:::Enemy engaged:::
Engaged by: XA-Egg.Eater, XA-Pygmy, XA-Mosby
Engagement location: Colorado (by the NY jumpgate)
Ship Type: Liberty Gunboat
IFF: Mascherano.Javier with a Navy affiliation
Outcome: DESTROYED (Pygmy got the last shot)
Evidence:



After the gunboat went down, Pygmy had some other business to attend to, so Mosby and I continued working in Colorado alone. We came across a firefly transport, and took its destination details.

Target: =SpaceDuck= with Freelancer ID
Ship: Firefly transport (armed with transport turrets)
Cargo: 3330 Passengers
Intended destination: Pueblo Station
Pilots involved: XA-Mosby, XA-Egg.Eater

Right after the firefly was dealt with, a bounty hunter gunship showed up, along with Pain.Bringer, several other fighters (may have been some bombers in there too), and an LNS gunboat that hung back, firing cruise disruptors. Mosby and I were outnumbered, five of them versus the two of us. We dodged well, knocking down shields and doing some hull damage when we could, but we couldn't take them out under such circumstances.

After this, XA-Venom contacted us and we were going to cause some trouble together in Ontario. Unfortunately, Venom was called away, so Mosby and I went to Kepler instead. There wasn't much action in Kepler, though something interesting did happen. In my opinion though, it should be kept off the open channels, talk to Mosby if you want more information. Also, a trader attempted to flee, trying to engage some sort of in-built cloaking device that didn't show up on my scans. Luckily, my ship's computer detected the energy spike from the device activating, and I destroyed the ship before the cloak went fully functional.

Here's the log of the event:

Said the pirate to the merchant: Your money or your life?

Merchant: What was the question?

Pirate: Pay or Die!

Merchant: That's not a question.

Pirate: Hand over 2 mil you corporate flunky, or be atomically disgronified!

Merchant: Sorry, I can't hear you, too busy docking.

Pirate: Wha... Dang it. *Turns to the new recruits* And that is why you shoot the trader who refuses to cut his engines. You just have to make sure you asked them to stop, and threatened them properly before you space them. Also, record your conversations in case the dead come back to complain. That's how it works here folks. Now go out and cut yourself a piece of the corporate pie!
