Damn those SA and LSF fools... They always muscle in on everybody's business, simply because they have "fleets" of capitals and fighters at their disposal. When it comes to handling a single pirate in a very souped up fightercraft, they're all gung-ho about their cruisers and gunboats and even supercaps... but as soon as a credible threat shows up, they're nowhere to be found.
Had two pirate gunboats escorting a pair of outcast destroyers hit the gate from Cali, and slide the lane to Manhattan lagrange.
You seriously don't think I sat around do you?
Soon as I saw the first sensor sweeps of them incoming I hit the emergency cruise charge cycle and got the hell outta dodge. Did some jerky maneuvering, and worked my way to fort bush, figured I'd hit the commweb and try to notify one of the relevant authorities, but while I was looking I wasn't watching the sensors... and the first gunboat, followed closely by the second, and then the destroyers slipped out the lane from the lagrange... Lucky me.
Got nailed with cruise disruptors from at least two of them, and then they disrupted the lane I was going to use to slide to safety...
I made it though, some salient soul in Bush's docking control literally screamed at me to hit bay seven... and I did. The outer hull is a mess, and I think I scraped the hell out of the bay floor, but I made it in, and the pirates didn't have the kind of firepower to crack an armored and shielded puppy like the fort.
I'm pretty sure they're gone now. Gonna finally stand down and check the damage to my ship.. it took one hell of a beating. Haven't heard a word from anyone else for a while, but I think that might be cause my comm array is shot to pieces, and the bay here is Z-gee with no atmo... so its not like anyone could come talk to me really, at least not without a pressure suit. Hopefully repair bills don't outstrip the bounty I earned earlier.
