After returning to space and finally obtaining proper IFF and ID paperwork I encountered a BAF Gunboat callsigned RIDIK. Me, along with Parker and reserve pilot Brandsen halted and hailed the vessel. The gunboat tried to cruise off many times, also he never responded to our hails being completely silent throughout the whole process. After warning the Gunboat many many times I ordered Parker to fire a warning shot. The Gunboat tried to cruise off one more time, andI cruise disrupted him and told him the consequences. However the Captain must of been daft because he opened fire on my ship without any warning or provocation, almost killing me. I then ordered to engage to defend our lives.
After a while of fighting, the friendly reserve pilot lost his ship, however we were significantly damaging the hostile gunboat. And he was quickly dispatched by my kill shot. I returned to the New York system, nothing to be found. I then docked at norfolk to repair my ship and am currently waiting for it to be repaired before i return to Duty.
