I managed to obtain a weapon from the wreck of the Black Bart, codenamed CERBERUS. It has been turned over to R&D for further study.
Yesterday, I flew with LH~Phate. Our first target was a pilot named Crateg, who was flying a mining ship. He managed to escape me in Magellan, but we pursued to California, where I managed to disrupt his cruise, and allowed Phate to intercept. After a brief fight, we obtained 2000 units of Luxury Food, which we delivered to Leiden.
After that, we moved to the Shikoku sector.
Phate and I occupied different trade lanes in the system, Phate saw a Corsair Gunboat come by, and signalled ahead to me. I hacked the lane as the gunboat came through, and he fell to Phate's brilliantly planned ambush. Also, a Xeno came along while we were fighting the Corsair, who was promptly reduced to his constituent atoms.
I lost my Countermeasure Dropper in the fight with the gunboat, but apart from that, we suffered minimal damage.
Right after we destroyed the Corsair, we pursued a Whale carrying engine parts. He fled, however I botched the pursuit with a misfire of my cruise disruptor.
After that, we moved to the Kepler system, where we found an artifact smuggler. He chose to make a fight of it, and we were forced to destroy the vessel after he refused our demands. Fortunately, we were able to recover hundreds of artifacts from the wreckage of the vessel.
The radiation fields took their toll on my weaponry, and I lost one gun during the fight. Its a good thing that the chase ended when it did, as I only had four cruise disruptors remaining in my hold.
Finally, I outfitted a new Scimitar, it is more suited to the area around Magellan than my Slipstream. After outfitting it, we moved to New York, where we came across an Interspace fighter. Sadly, this appeared to be a trap, and after two more fighters and a Liberty Gunboat appeared, my new Scimitar was destroyed. Phate tractored me in and returned me to Buffalo.
