So I pay and leave and he has the nerve to say that we were "rusty"
[21.04.2016 17:44:28] /givecash lh~grubozaboyschikov. 4000000
[21.04.2016 17:44:28] You have sent 4.000.000 credits to LH~Grubozaboyschikov.
[21.04.2016 17:44:33] LH~Grubozaboyschikov.: Thank you
[21.04.2016 17:44:52] LH~Grubozaboyschikov.: Perhaps next time this will be better.
[21.04.2016 17:45:10] LH~Mactan.Interdictor: It's been a while since we last called them. They were rusty I guess.
No heads up so we could be efficient. I would have stood by and waited out of radar range and waited for them to
blow up the marks. But no prior warning and to be accused of being rusty is too much. The whole transaction left a
bad taste in my mouth. They knew that they might possibly have had cargo floating in space. No apparent plan as to
what to do with it. I'm not impressed with LH~Grubozaboyschikov. His sense of entitlement is huge. He accused me
of being rude and under the circumstances I'm not sure he knows the definition of "rude".
In conclusion I would be interested in hearing about anyone elses interactions with this pilot.
