"I was running between Stuggart and New Berlin at the time. Around 0330 (GMT) I came out of the Stuggart->New Berlin Jump Gate. I immediatly fell under attack by 4 Lane Hacker NPCs. Trying to flee I engaged my cruise engine and countermeasures. Skyleius (I don't remember what his tag was, I apologize, I also did not get a good look at his ID, I do know his IFF transmitted as neutral) opened fire with his Cruise Disruptors and managed to disable my drive. Within a few seconds he stipped me of my shields and my hull's super-structor was beginning to collapse. I dispatched all nanobots and used all my shield batteries while continuing to manuver and call for help. At this point he told me to stop and I did because shields were again gone. I tried to inform RepEx-Security|Trek where I was but because of the chase I was disoriented and could not provide exact directions. Skyleius then demanded 2mil from me, and I only had 800,000 on me because I had just upgraded my ship. I tried to inform him but flying and trying to fix the comm panel at the same time is difficult. After his arbitrary deadline passed I managed to get my comm system working and informed him that I did not have 2 million credits. He destroyed my ship anyway. Fortunatly, my ejection seat worked and I esacped and was picked up. I lost a cargo full of food supplies valued at just over 170,000 Credits.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
