My promotion to technician came through recently. The dagger, though a fine craft, was becoming slightly outdated, so I took the opportunity to upgrade to the slipstream.
After rearming my new fighter, I decided to interdict and disrupt trading. My first target was a trader named Kiero. He quickly paid a 500 000 credit donation to the Lane Hackers.
Later, I encountered a transport coming from the Manchester system. Mr. Morris quickly powered down engines and contributed to the cause, no weapons fire required.
In total, the Lane Hackers gained 800 000 credits through my operations today. A small amount perhaps, but my "fees" will go up in time.
Later, I encountered a fellow Hacker in the Magellan system. We encountered a trader named Horst near Freeport 4, however he executed a docking maneuver that defies the laws of physics before we could extract payment. Horst
Also of note: I did have a couple quick conversations with law enforcement officers. With police like this, its no wonder we're able to operate virtually unrestricted. We're not allowed in New York? No pirates around here
