I encountered a KOF Transport in the Texas system today, and pursued it through to New York. I was forced to abandon pursuit when I noticed to Liberty Navy gunboats in position to intercept me. I made a strategic withdrawal before they closed to weapons range.
While moving off, S/D-Feral showed up on my scanners. Unfortunately, he saw me and we had a brief conversation as I slipped out of scanner range. A Naval ship in the area also joined it, but they were unable to compete with the cardamine-enhanced intellect of a Hacker. Chat in New York
I think my mania-interrogation techniques have improved significantly over the past few weeks.
I moved off to California, where after a bit of waiting I encountered an Interspace Transport [IC]Convoy15-9. In a refreshing change, this pilot was willing to pay my demand of 500 000 credits. Of course he DID require a bit of persuasion, by means of me stripping his shielding in my Sabre. Convoy 15-9 Convoy 15-9 Convoy 15-9 Convoy 15-9
As a side note, this is actually the first time a trader has paid me while I've been flying my Sabre. All the others chose to be atomized instead.
