Was working on the retired offciers list when the emergency channel came to life, 3 hackers in New York, trying to pirate traders... again. Big surprise there.
I launched and made my way to the Manhattan to WP trade lane. The Hackers were harassing a group of traders, but stopped when they saw me. At this point I was by myself. They decided with their Cardi addled brains the 3 on 1 was a fair fight, so they thought it would be fun to come and disassemble my ship with me still in it. I asked them ,"So, a 3 on 1 ganking is it?" to which they replied, "Yeah, the Navy would do it to us".
Well, I just tightened the straps on my seat and flipped the master weapons arm switch to "Kill with extreme prejudice". I can only remember one of the Hackers name, Project X. Well they attacked, I defended, landing stinging shots where I could, giving them traders a chance to clear out . Officer J.D. Masket showed up, that helped even the odds a bit.
Then those Hackers decided they had enough and tried to run, but instead of clearing out of the system, they attacked a Navy fighter! This will not do! Masket and myself made our way over to where the Navy ship had been attacked and joined the fray again. Now that Navy fighter must have had an automatic distress beacon on it because it looked like someone had kicked a bees nest.
Navy fighters were pouring in and those Hackers weren't long for this world. We didn't lose a ship, but three Hacker ships are now orbiting New York's star, permanent like.
