Stoat - A log

[Stoat]

Two more gunboats have fallen before me now. First was a Corsair, flying the M26. Capt Cosmo was his name, though there wsa nothing cosmic about is flying skills. I took him down without even having to use a shield battery! Those corsairs will obviously let anyone fly the M26 now. I'd love to get my hands on one and show them all how to fly it, but that'd just reduce my income!

A few days later I ran into a Hacker gunship at Leeds. Nemesis was his name. He'd obviously been able to overcome the security systems on the docking ring, but his skill as a pilot was not up to the same standards. He put up a better fight than the corsair a few days before, but still fell without me having many hair-raising moments.

I'm still waiting on bounty payments from the BAF. I guess they're distracted with the losses they're sustaining in the war. It seems that half of Leeds has fallen to the Kusari invaders. While this may be good for my business, it saddens me to see the faces of the refugees now on the planet. They are losing everything, and no-one seems to be able to reassure them. It must be a terrible thing to have your life ripped apart in such a way. It makes me thankful for the life I lead.

The new guild shipline has finally been released, and all the old models recalled. I'm sad to lose my gunship, but its replacement, the Bottlenose, seems well suited to its role. I'll not be taking on gunboats in it though, so I may have to splash out on the new Orca. It's shrouded in mystery at the moment though, and no-one seems to be able to tell me where I can get hold of one! Looks like I'm in for a trip out to Rostock.
