During the past week I have been roaming Liberty and had a lot of encounter that are worth mentioning.
In New York system, a Liberty Navy Guardian and I started a skirmish that ended rather poorly for the cocky officer.
Later on, a Hellfire Bayonet showed up and instantly tried fleeing towards Colorado. Seeing the enemy in panic for his safety, I abused it and engaged in short fight that was swiftly ended.
When I was focusing on targeting corporate wallets, I encountered a Hegemon transporting Counterfeit Software. It had Kusari Naval Forces IFF but otherwise was a Freelancer. Pilot decided to open fire on me and I retaliated by destroying his Cheetah thruster and giving opportunity to get caught red handed or successfully distribute our product.
Colorado Gates are known for their dense traffic. Therefore, ambushing transports are very rewarding. This GMG vessel complied with my demand and wired four million credits. The DSE) flunky however was supplying their base and according to our usual protocol, was departed with all of the cargo. The Bounty Hunter Orca kept following me and thus was destroyed. His colleague was late for the fireworks but left crippled.
Causing enough of chaos in Liberty, I moved to Manchester where we were faced with numerous opposition, starting with a Bounty Hunter Sabre who decided to become an obstacle that had to be nuked together with officer who decided to go down with a bang.
At the usual spot of my operations, I have encountered a vessel that failed to comply with my demands and received a lot of back up. Captain was forced out of his ship after being blasted to pieces. Being at complete disadvantage, I still managed to evade three hostile ships.
Moving out of hot zone, I proceeded towards Shikoku, where I received a mediocre contribution.
There is nothing easier and more pleasant than being presented a golden opportunity to destroy isolated ship. Navy is known to send crafts without any backup. Good example is this Gunboat which was quickly downed.
During my trip to Malta, I was intercepted by a optimistic Gallic Junker Sunbeam. It was no threat and I safely arrived to nearest Freeport. However, when the next opportunity presented due to Mr. Yoshida intercepting same pilot and trying to interrogate, I made the same demand of passage toll. The idiot was broke and failed to meet my demands. It met it's end. Blaze hunter decided to engage me there as well but quickly was shot at and limped back to lick its wounds.
On the limping, licking and overall incompetence that our opponents have to offer, this one takes the cake. A lone Liberty Siege Cruiser decided to engage me at Fort Bush. I managed to hack defence protocols of nearby stations and focus fire on the Cruiser. With Mr. Yoshida present, Liberty Navy forces soon closed in on us and I had to provide some cover fire for our lone Broadsword. After lengthy battle, the cruiser was finally crippled and destroyed. Mr. Yoshida was focused by three [LN] ships but masterfully escaped. I wanted to secure his escape and acted as a scapegoat. They took the bait, broke off from his pursuit and focused on me. On the way there, two of hostiles broke off and intercepted a craft belonging to Rheinland Military. Alan Jones followed me through the Gate with hopes to finish me off. Sadly, he was too optimistic when I decided to show what Hackers are capable off by pulling an explosive finish.
