Yesterday was a busy day, if not a productive one.
My first target was a Bumblebee, by the name of Blindshot. I intercepted it in the Manchester system as it was on the way through to the Cortez jump gate. He refused my demands and opened fire on my Sabre. Things were going well for me until my flight computer completely locked up. I lost control of my vessel for approximately 10 seconds, and in that time Blindshot was able to escape. Blindshot Target Scan
The next target was a Firefly transport by the name of Sunhammer. I intercepted his vessel in the Magellan system, and again he refused my demands. He kept asking me to stop shooting, but kept trying to escape. It appears he was somewhat confused about the definition of "piracy", so I was more than happy to educate him. Unfortunately, I was forced to destroy the vessel, as he clearly had no intention of paying. I let some of the Hacker forces flying out of Mactan take the killing shot, its rare that they get to take something that big down. Target Scan Demand Stop shooting? Enough chances Target Destroyed
The next target was yet another Firefly, piloted by Vallen_Kanyon. The target was intercepted in the Magellan system. Again, he refused my demands. Eventually, he made it to the Manchester system and proceeded to perform an emergency docking procedure with the border station right outside the jumpgate. He undocked a few moments later, and I proceeded to follow him to the New London system before breaking off pursuit. Apparently, he was rather displeased with me, threatening to send some mercenaries after me. Target Scan Demand Docking at the border station Mercenary threat
I encountered yet another target in Magellan, a Border Worlds Transport piloted by an Eric Sterling. I stripped the vessels shielding, however it was able to escape to the California sector. I was unable to disrupt its trade lanes in time, so I followed Mr. Sterling to California Minor, all the while listening to him berate his crewmembers, demanding more speed. I disrupted the target's trade lane at Cali Minor, so he proceeded to perform an emergency docking procedure on the planet itself. Interestingly, while this was all happening I had an S/D member ask me what my purpose was. I assumed that those bounty hunters knew at least something about the hackers...

The final target was a Liberty Navy train, aptly named [LT]The_Runner. I intercepted it just outside of the California ->New York Jumpgate, but it was able to make it through. I followed it through the New York sector, doing significant damage to its shielding systems, but abandoned pursuit once it got too close to Planet Manhattan. Target Scan
I think its time to work on my promotion requirements, I'm going to need more firepower to properly educate these fools.
