Major setback, might be my worst one yet. Got ransomed on the way to Adams Orbital in the Beta-1 system. I tried to get away but after taking some damage I decided to submit rather than risk getting destroyed. The pirate took a little more than half my hold. When I finally arrived at the station and initiated silent running my thrusters gave up. Seems the pirate did more damage than I thought.
I had to disable silent running, lest I cook myself to death. By the time I got my engines working again the station police had scanned my ship, and put on a hefty fine for the illegal items I was carrying.
What would have been a profit well over a million instead cost me a lot more. This has financially set me back for months.
I need to rethink my strategy.
