Bounty Hunting
26 Oct 2020Buster Bob
After a long day helping rid the system of some Thargoids scouts a few drinks in the bar was well needed. Unfortunately there were 6 Commanders from the Bloody Handed Gang who were out looking for trouble. I was having none of it, apart from registering they had agreed to meet up at the system’s compromised nav beacon the next day to combine forces and wreak havoc with any honest cargo ships passing through the system.The next day I was still annoyed that my first night back in the bar had been spoiled. In the morning I readied my heavily gunned imperial cutter and in the afternoon headed out to the navigation beacon to seek out those Commanders from the gang. It didn’t take long to find them, I just had to follow the debris of the ships they had destroyed. The 6 Commanders from the Bloody Handed Gang were all wanted and in Vipers and Cobras, tricked out with missiles, flac and hatch breakers. I waited for them to attack a Type 6 and then engaged. I managed to take out 4 of them before the other 2 high waked out. In amongst the mess of chaff and flak, they were no match for the Cutter. The bounties are also badly needed to help to pay the bills.
Back to the station to refuel and refit the Cutter before yet again heading back to the bar. This time all was quiet, I finally got the peaceful drink so badly needed. The bubble is a mess, I think I need to leave this madness behind and get away again.
