A small report here. I got word that a smuggler was in Alaska. I sped towards Zone 21 and found him there just exiting the mine field.
It was slave liner hauling a full load of artifacts.
I disrupted his cruise engines and told him he was trespassing. rather than trying to lie his way out, he blatantly admitted he was in Alaska and that he had come into contact with nomads. I ordered him to drop his load. He tried to bribe me. which I obviously refused, as honest and dedicated I am to my beloved work and liberty.
He then did the old drop-a-small-fragment-then-run trick.
Unfortunatly, I had a bunch of outcast rookies on me so he managed to get to 5k from me. Luckily, a LSF gunboat by the name of BuB (don't ask) had just launched from Norfolk and spotted the liner and managed to catch it.
We then proceeded to blow it up as it even fired on the gunboat and at me.
Keep an eye out for this ship. As soon as he gets a new liner, I bet he'll keep at it.
Maybe even KoS it. as it:
- Trespassed into Alska/ zone 21
- was smuggling artifacts
- tried to bribe a navy pilot (who was too awesome to accept)
- tried to run from the law
- shot at lawful vessels
- was smelly
