My most thrilling run was getting back to neutral space after mission 9 to get some more money. In trying to avoid the Kusari police and navy patrols I took a jumpgate that brought me straight to the Outlaw´s system and damn close to their base (I didn´t quite realise that). After fighting off wave of wave of Stilettos and those mini-star destroyer ships they have (Barracudas?) I started getting low on shields and bots. Plus each wave followed the previous so quickly that I didn´t have time to get away either (damn cruiser disruptors). So eventually I decided to just run for it until I was at least a decent distance from the base, kill the last wave and get to cruise speed. Next jump point of course there´s another bunch of them eating away my precious last shield batteries. I jump and watch in horror as the bunch guarding the other side blows off my pretty Dragon´s wings before I even get control. Then one more bad message informs me my booster has left the ship <img src=smilies/icon_smile_dead.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>. No nanos, ICM or batteries left at this stage so going to cruise is out of the question. I manage to destroy them all but my ship looks like a VW Beetle after an bad accident and I cruise with two little blocks of hull left to Freeport 6, narrowly avoiding a Samura patrol by flying as close as possible to the sun. I finally reach Freeport 6 and started the docking sequence as a Kusari patrol drops out of the trade lane and starts firing, knocking away my shield and bringing my hull down to one block. I quickly escape out of the docking sequence, fly to the other side of the station and finally managed to dock before they could find me. Pricy repairs, but what a rush to just make it by the skin of your teeth <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>
