My long-range reconnisance patrol proved fruitful today. After a run on the outer rim of the Silverton field, I headed over to the New York system. Planning a photo patrol of inbound/outbound traffic to Rochester, I encountered a Rogue patrol approximately 6k from the Colorado/NY Jumphole. It consisted of 1 gunboat and 4 Wolfhound fighters. Seeing the Gunboat as the biggest threat, I flew high as the fighters broke formation to engage me. I looped and dove in a barrel roll, coming in on the gunboat's 6 o'clock. My anti-matter cannon hit the gunboat's engines, ripping the back half of the ship off. I then turned to engage the fighters. My combat lessons proved extremely useful as I dispatched the four fighters without much difficulty. I managed to tractor in the gunboat's escape pods and headed immediately back to Ouray.
Almost to the Jumphole, I encountered two Junkers, apparently on a long-range patrol. Their CSV hulls proved to be no match for my Black Widows. I then jumped to Colorado and docked on Ouray.
I then checked the captured pilots into the interrogation department. Below is copy of my booking sheet.
XA-DESERT MOJAVE out.
