So after spending way too much time scanning that last guardian system I decided it was home time. A quick Nap in an empty pocket of black and then start the trek home!I get 8 jump out from Kamadhenu, when out of the blue this Chieftain come out of nowhere and interdicts me !! I was so unprepared!!
I had shut down all defensive and offensive systems to conserve fuel between fuel stars and wham I’m getting sprayed and peppered with pulse lasers and mini guns!!
I start up the modules but the they are taking too long to boot up. I start the FSD drives on a mad dash for a getaway as quickly watch my hull integrity slip away. I was quickly becoming a pirates wet dream, cargo hold full of relics and putting ZERO fight or resistance.
I managed to hit super cruise with 8% hull and cracking hull canopy. Shit that was intense!
30 seconds later the pirate is back in super cruise to try me again. I manage to evade this time and made a bee line to what ever system
was on the list next.
Now in a new system I plot a course to the closet populated system For repairs.
What a rookie! I should have picked up what he was doing, the minute I made contact he was trying to get behind me! I have spent so long staring at guardian rocks I have forgotten how to read a potential pirate situation and I nearly paid for it.
Either way I’m home now. Time to swap out some Modules and find some new work, and sell off all this cartography data, should be a nice little earner at least, though most of its now going to repairs!
