I checked the station log and noticed we still required about 1800 tons of industrial hardware for the upgrade. On my first run I went to New York to acquire this, but just as I was beginning to dock with Trenton Station I saw a Liberty Rogue bomber inbounds from one of the debris fields beyond Manhatten, from the Fort Bush region. There was a brief exchange as the docking was proceeding, but basically he arrived too late to do anything. Because I wasn't sure what was going to happen I didn't get a whole cargo hold of industrial hardware, but just a little more than the station said we needed. As I exited I could see him on scope in the tradelane to West Point, I had noticed some weapons platforms near Long Island Station, took cover next to them and waited. In theory at least that amount of extra firepower plus my own should have been enough to deter the pirate. I waited, eventually a freelance transport came along and noticed the pirate retreated to the West Point area. Shortly after, he left the area, and I proceeded with my route as originally planned, arriving in Elysium with no further difficulties.
On my next run I carried a load of reinforced alloy from New London, then continued to Pittsburgh to run boron to Lancaster Trading Center in Newcastle, before making my final run from New London back to Elysium. Nothing else of note occured.
Total supplies delivered:
1x1900 industrial hardware
2x3990 reinforced alloy
