Managed to check in two runs in the Gibraltar today. The first run was alone, I relied on my Shetland's impressive shielding to avoid most minor pirate activity. However, in New London, I was stopped and robbed three million credits by a Molly Bomber. His ship was very menacing, and he surely could have destroyed me if he wished. Thankfully, he was not bloodthirsty and was satisfied by the credit transfer.
In New London orbit, I met Stonehenge. We chose to stick together, as the Molly pirate was still in the system. We loaded up with Mining Machinery and took it safely to the Hood. We then procured Gold and made the medium-length trip to New York. Nothing eventful occurred, apart from the false reports of Outcasts in New York from a trader. He must have tried to scare us away from our intended destination. The competition will do anything these days to get ahead...
The trip back to Planet New London was filled with interruptions - minor pirates were disrupting the trade lanes all the time. Apart from the inconvenience, our ships were in no danger and we arrived at New London safely.
