Dear Elders, allow me to report my action which took place yesterday.
I was on a patrol from Omicron Gamma to Sigma 13, which is actually a very famous route for smuglers smuggling Cardamine into Rheinland and I met a trader called Gevera, requesting a 2 mil. fee for safe passage which has been loudly refused. The trader started running and I followed him. He insulted me badly several times (read: by accusing me of cheating) so I forgot about the fee I first requested and wanted to see him dead. I hunted him through several systems and managed to damage his ship severely and we finally ended in Honshu where he camped at Akita Border station.
I was waiting there for a while to finish him when he takes off but I was unfortunatelly engaged by a KNF fighter Typhoon. I didn't have time to explain why I broke into Kusari and that I didn't want to break our mutual neutrality pact and had to defend myself. I was able to bring Typhoon's shield down several times but wasn't sure whether I should continue. Finally KND DeLuna appeared, assisting Typhoon and I chosed to run, knowing that diplomacy between our two factions could get worse. I was followed to Sigma 13 but then Typhoon disengaged and then I met brother Montoya.
I was a little angry that I was engaged by KNF earlier and persuaded Montoya to engage another KNF fighter (KNF Prometheo) in revenge. He was destroyed and we had to start negotiations with present KNF forces. After an hour I decided to apologize, explained my points and me and Montoya left Kusari Space.
On the way back to Theta we spotted the Trader Gevera and asked him for a fee 6 mil, which was higher due to his previous insults. I was prepaired to lower the fee if he started to negotiate it but his insults continued (read more cheating acusations, blabla) and so we destroyed him, showing no mercy.
We then practiced and tested our loadouts but soon long-range scanners showed a large group of Blood Dragons in New Tokyo and in order to placate TBH and KNF we offered our help in the conflict. Actually I think our presence in the battle was very important and influenced the victory of KNF greatly. We managed to take down 1 gunboat, assisted in the destruction of another one and then took down at least one fighter. We left the loot for KNF and hoped that our previous excess (destroying KNF Prometheo) is to be forgotten.
To be honest it was a very busy day, and I was so tired I nearly fell asleep on my way back home.
Many thanks to Montoya, he did a great job out there.
