Forgive the lateness of this after-action report but fatigue got the better of me due to my constant pestering of a Rogue GB. On my final patrol last night, I encountered a vessel tagged "Queen Anne's Revenge" (Rogue GB/Junker tag). I, however, am loaded for interdiction of smugglers and fighter interception and could only keep the bandit busy. I recieved help from SA-Mitch Woods, who had a Nova loadout, but he took heavy damage.
I continued my pestering and used my CDs to deny him any prey. Fortunately, only one trade entered Colorado and I was fortunately able to slow the bandit down so that the GalEx trader (X-shuttle class) could continue on his way. After that episode the bandit fled to California and I followed. In the end, he disappeared into the expanse and I lost contact.
I feel this is a win, for the bandit did not gain a credit.
