Regarding recent events

[Khuskan]

I have been on holiday for a week, after only playing on the server for 3 days. I was already part of -=?=- at this time, and as a result, I dont really know whats been going on the past 4 and a half days, however, I do know exactly what happened today.

I was on my way to New Berlin to recieve money to buy the clan a freighter, then do some runs. On the way, I picked up another freighter, loaded with luxuary consumer goods. Being a pirate-focused clan, I alerted Cardamine and the other -=?=- players who were on at the time to the target, as they were nearby, and the loot was high value enough to be worth a quick raid. As cardimine arived, he sent a threat asking for 1 million credits. This is a perfectly reasonable ammount, the profits from the selling of the cargo would have covered it.

he freighter RESPONDED to the message, in system chat. I cant remember exactly what was said, but it was some sort of light-hearted rant. The freighter then docked to planet hamburg, and F1'd to a fighter account.

As far as we saw it, this was a failed attempt at piracy, so we left the area and returned to new berlin. I purchased my freighter and begun trading. Meanwhile, the freighters alt-account formed with a battleship and a cruiser, and they moved to attack Cardimine. At the time of the attack, I was entering Planet New Berlin area, where the three of them showed up on sensors. Cardimine noticed their hostile intent, I belive that they fired the first shot, not us, and begun engaging to cover me while I docked and sold/purchased new cargo. We then both retreated to the sigma 13 system, only to be persued. I managed to sell my cargo, and took an alternate route to New Tokyo to avoid the attackers. Cardimine ran from them in cruise for a good 10 minutes, before landing and having to log out, as he was going out. They had more than enough time to engage, disrupt and destroy him, and he was outgunned and outnumberd. After he logged out, I returned to trade, and later, was caught off guard by the three attackers. I was asked to halt, then subsiquently destroyed without warning, after I halted, but there was no problem with this, and all hard feelings were smoothed out shortly after, and I continued trading.

That is exactly what I experienced today, and as I said, i have no idea what has happened over the last 4 days.
