Circumstances:Heading to Colorado to investigate a Lane Hacker ship and spotted a KuEx gunboat camping the lane. A quick ID scan showed it was indy pirate, so I dropped and engaged. It had the CAU8 upgrade and either Corsair or Order turrets, so it was a pretty tough match for my Orca, and I had to retreat after I ran out of regens. After a quick repair and resupply on Fort Bush, I headed back towards Colorado on my original mission, and then found the fool on the other side of the gate trying to pirate another ship, so I engaged again. This time I had the advantage, and even though an Outcast bomber tried to join in, I was still able to run him the pirate into the ground.
