RE: Trade Report

Today wasn't the best of days. I can admit that from the start. Well, at the start, I was having a fine conversation with a fellow shipper outside Planet Cambridge. After this, a Corsair appeared. In an Eagle fighter, but a Corsair none-the-less. He didn't talk much, but seemed intent on making the docking ring commit war-crimes through friendly fire.

Well, I outsmarted him. Turning the ship to the side and pitching to and fro seemed to confuse him, and he was chased off quite quickly. I continued to Dublin with the Pharmaceuticals I had received a contract for. Nothing happened on the way, picked up some gold, and, lo and behold, the Corsair was waiting at New London! What daring, he had. Well, calling the Armed Forces lads in Dublin, I underwent the same maneuvers, and upon the Armed Forces' arrival, the bloke fled.

Continuing to Fort Bush, as the contract stated, all was clear until I sighted a Rogue outside Riverside Station. I thought I might be able to slip past him and call for help in the New York system, but, a Hacker Gunship was lurking behind Planet Mojave. He demanded a meager amount of credits from me, but, so close to the refuge of Riverside, I fled. Was it worth it? Well, I lost 500 units of cargo in a destroyed Cargo Pod, so, probably not.

All in all:

Pharmaceuticals (Cambridge Research Center) --> Battleship Hood 2005500 profit
Pirate Attack, loss of: 500 units Gold; 1 Blue Cargo Pod; Hull Repairs 980000 loss
Cargo Pod Scraps 25000 profit

Well, as I said to the trader at the start, worse things have happened. I've my ship and my life, so, not such a bad day.
