Was on patrol near Freistadt Base in O-7 when a experimental 'Manta' training squadron showed up on long range scopes. Apparently, they failed to recognise my ID, and made the foolish mistake of demanding cargo from me.
In pitched combat i took out 2 of the 3 fighters while sustaining minimal damage. The last fighter preffered surrender to death, and I allowed him to pilot his ship back to Cape Verde Station before I order the local marine detachement to... eliminate him. Surrender is the cowards way out. Once he was disposed of, I looked over the ship and pronouned it spaceworthy.
I've convinced some techs to transfer weapons & special systems to the fighter. So far, it has proven excellent in combat, and I've returned to active duty after a week in dry-docks, now awaiting furtre orders.
Admiral, a trader named Miner_49 has offered to lend us his services in paying the great space modder, I'm awaiting response on the go-ahead.
