Greetings,

Today was a really unpleasant day to me.
I launched from Freeport 2. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go to Ames or to Gran Canaria, so I decided to make up my mind later, in NY.
When I was aproaching Texas->NY gate, I got out of distrupted trade line right onto a pirate named Be.good.at.it.
He demanded a milion credits even though I was running an empty run. Just to get rid of him, I offered him half a milion, but he disagreed. As the pirate was quite rude and unwilling to achieve compromise, and I had only about 7-8 Ks to jump gate, I decided to take my chance and run. Unfortunately, there was heavy traffic and I was unable to dock to the gate quickly enough to avoid deadly missiles and beams. After some more maneuvers and cat'n'mouse games, I decided to give up. I paid a milion credits.
A few minutes later, I jumped to NY. I was really surprised when all Liberty installations appeared hostile on my HUD. It became clear to me that there must have been some kind of glitch in NY system IFF transponder network.
I had to run on cruise engines along badlands' border to avoid either Rogues and Liberty Legals, who could accidentally shoot me.
Two jumps later, in Cortez, I ran across Lane Hacker Paco.Pistols. He kindly asked me to donate to the LH cause. After some chit-chat, I agreed to pay him half a milion - just to get rid of him and get back on route.

Finally, I only delivered 3580 food rations for Crete today (cargo manifest)

I hope you all had a better day then mine.
