Stops on your patrol/trade route: Fort Bush - West Point - Manhattan - Fort Bush - Houston - Fort Bush
Brief report/outline of your patrol: After beginning my patrol, my scanners detected a cardamine smuggler in the California system. I moved to the California gate, and ambushed him. However, after the battle started, he managed to escape to Manhattan, despite the docking bays being locked.A bit after that, two Pirate Transports filled with cardamine appeared out of the trade lane. Once again, my Liberator wasn't enough to take them out before forcing their way onto the planet. These two ships then launched, and met a barrage of attacks from myself, a nearby Freelancer, and for some reason, a Battlecruiser. After destroying their ships 3 or 4 times, they finally left. I then moved to Fort Bush, and started talking with the Freelancer. A little bit later, I received a report of an embargo runner. I went to Houston to head him off, and met 2 Pirate bombers, a Battlecruiser, and a gunboat. The Freelancer and an Outcast followed. The pirate bombers attacked the Freelancer as soon as we arrived, and I moved to defend her. The Outcast also helped us against the pirates, and they quickly died. I watched the blockade for a bit, talking with the Freelancer. I was then told that the embargo runner( LonghauL) was spying for two Rheinland gunships. A LSF gunboat that was "helping me keep the blockade up" then began spouting excuses about how he was LSF, couldn't fight on the frontlines, and had to defend Liberty from 'dangers'. Then another gunboat pilot arrived, rammed my ship, left. And I left with the Freelancer to Fort Bush's Sunbucks Cafe, where I am now.
