A very strange situation has just occured. During patrol cycles, i found a ship broadcasting a Molly IFF, in the West Point ---> California JumpGate trade lane. The ship callsign was "Comacchio". After closing into scan range, something even more strange happened. He was identified as Generic Pirate by his ID code, but flying what was, at least externally, resembling a GBH3 "Orca" Gunboat. Considering how close to them the Bounty Hunters keep their ship series, this has to be some kind of steal or salvage.
The ship was engaged in that lane, and almost killed, but managed to take the jumpgate to california. There, in mojave, "Solarpuppy" in his transport disrupted the lane the hostile was going to take, effectively inmobilizing him for long enough to me to reach his location. In a few more seconds, the pirate Comacchio was destroyed.
I will try to inform the Bounty Hunters Guild about what one of their ships has been used to. Hopefully, that will help them get track of possible ships of same series stolen. If one could be grabbed from them, more could have followed.
