Today was a bag of mixed blessings, but overall I'd say it went pretty well. I got in real good with the Liberty Rogues living on base here, and made a new friend. The guy pilots a gunboat, and let me just say that thing packs a punch.

We cut down a trade lane together, and the first guy we stopped didn't even protest. He practically threw his money at us and got the hell out of there. Suddenly, the Navy closed in on us. Seems big ships attract other big ships. We had a whole fleet tail us back into the ice field, but I was able to get back to base and man a defense turret to fend them off. Later on I wasn't so lucky.

We let the locale calm a little before heading back out to the trade lanes. We finally set up shop, and an unlucky police transport found us. He opened fire immediately on me, but I positioned behind his engine where he couldn't hit me. I kept him disabled as we opened negotiations. After about 5 minutes of making demands with him non-responsive, he cut a run for it. I got my first kill. He went down in a glorious blaze, and I was cleaning up and about to head out. That's when I noticed a Navy ship on my radar.

Before I knew it, several large navy ships had dropped right on top of me. I cut my engines and tried to glide out on my thrusters, knowing they would disrupt any attempt at cruising. I made it just to the edge of the asteroids before the whole show opened up on my poor freighter. As they blew holes in the exterior, I managed to crash the burning hulk into a dense pocket of asteroids and elude them.

A few hours went by, before a roaming Rogue patrol found me and picked me up. They towed my remains back to Alcatraz, and dropped me off in an empty bay. Looks like I get to spend the night making repairs. Luckily, scrap metal comes cheap around here.
