I was finished with my Kepler patrol today and went back to New York where on the way I saw several pests that managed to bug me. 2 of them ended up in prison while the other one managed to escape to his station.
Starting with the first encounter on an LH~ tagged freighter. I saw the vessel which disrupted the lanes in front of me and stopped my movement. I went after them and by luck, they missed the lane gate and I had enough change to disrupt their escape. They immediately went into combat against me, but my ship proved more superior against theirs. (Logs in the spoiler)
I then saw a Xeno transport going to Ouray. I tried to stop them, but with no success. The vessel did not respond and as soon as I opened fire, it managed to dock (Logs in the spoiler)
The hacker fighter that I encountered after that, went into combat with me quite fast. Since I was unable to catch his movements, my ship got badly damaged. I took a chance and ran to Fort Bush quickly enough to disappear from his scanners for some time. As soon as the helped me restock and get back into combat, the Hacker returned. Another fight went on with more luck on my side, but not enough. Several well placed mines crippled his hull, but almost destroyed mine. He wanted me, in return for my life, to yell out, system-wide, that he is superior to me and that the Hackers are the best. Well. I did start yelling out, but it came out differently than he wanted.
Code:
[18.06.2018 00:32:34] Thackeray.: You will announce that I am superior in system wide comms
[18.06.2018 00:32:52] 5th|Scarlet.Marie.Sharp: Hah.
[18.06.2018 00:32:57] Thackeray.: And that the Lane Hackers are the best.
[18.06.2018 00:33:13] 5th|Scarlet.Marie.Sharp: The lane hacker named Thackeray.
[18.06.2018 00:33:54] 5th|Scarlet.Marie.Sharp: Is literally the most hideous person that I have ever seen in my life.
I managed to trigger him so I took the chance and laned to Pittsburgh where I got another nanobot and battery refill and it ended there, he had no choice but to run and with a well placed shot on his mine, I managed to take him down.
