Today, a mixed day for our forces. The New York defence grid came back online with a new addition, a system wide shield generator. Whilst this may initially seem good, there are failures in its design which mean that all ships are protected, even those committing unlawful actions such as the smuggler below:
I was powerless to stop him from docking on Buffalo station and unloading all of his Cardimine, and then he had the nerve to proclaim that he was doing nothing wrong! While his escort was shooting me, no less! Normally, I would issue a fine, but as this group consists of known outcasts, a simple cargo confiscation and destruction is in order.
Moving on, a little later a small hacker force penetrated Texas and I moved to engage with support in the form of LSF agent Black Wing. The fight was hard, we were two fighters against a Blood Dragon BLS tagged fighter and two Lane Hacker gunboats, but support arrived in overwhelming force. The opposition received some help from a rogue, making it three gunboats against an unending tide of fighters and bombers. The victory once our forces had all engaged was swift, with the gunboats succumbing to our fire one by one. The small BLS fighter was a pain due to his tiny size, but he was dealt the killing blow by a nova shot from Richard Lane aboard the bomber, Panzershreck.
Remember, servants of Liberty, give no quarter, and expect none in return!
