The missiles race through the void, going straight for the Salvation. The turrets turn and fire, and 2 missiles explode in the ensuing cloud of shrapnel. The Plasma cannon attempts to fry the last remaining one, but it simply can't turn fast enough. The fighter's are launched, but are in no way fast enough to intercept a missile in flight, especially not using unguided missiles. Even a last minute dodging attempt doesn't do any good either, and with a loud thumph, the missile makes contact.
As no explosion follows, fire is opened against the pirates. The AI manages to hit the enemies engines, but it's pulse laser doesn't leave much more than scratch. However, combined with a full salvo off all your primary weapons, you guess it should leave an impression. You prepare to hail the pirates, asking for them to surrender.
You're suprised to find that they did exactly the same. Their exact message is this.
You got a heavy warhead attached to your ship, and if you don't wish to get a new airlock installed, surrender your cargo. We'll be content to leave you in peace, rather than pieces.
[Message end]
[New message]
Oh, and don't think that you can just shoot us. The warhead is set to detonate when our signal fails.
((Yup, I ignored UR's post, because most of the turn was already rolled. Besides, there was a consensus in favor of bluffing...
Oh, and be clear with orders. A pulse refers to your pulse laser, as far as I'm concerned))

An NGO wants you to bring humanitary aid towards the pirate controlled sectors in the libertitas system. Technically, the pirates are supposed to be quarantained and bereft of supplies, but the governement doesn't posses the force to maintain the blockade.
A Mining compagny is looking to hire people to find out what happened to it's mining outpost, which was located in one of the sectors taken over by the pirates. They also have security enforcement options for several other mining installations.
Some civilians are having problem with their spacestation. It was recently hit by a micrometeroid, and they need to gather a lot of spare parts for repairs.
You can probably gather more jobs near the black market, or somewhere else.

A large Alliance Cruiser, dating back to the war. Modified and refitted by the crew. The ship's painted in light blue, with several spots and stripes added to aid in visual deception. There are several fake spots on the wings, and stripes to make the ship appear longer. The Engines are painted in a blue/white combination, matching the color of the engine exhaust(in space, in the air it's quite obvious if the engines are on or not). The top bridge is flanked by 2 stars, painted in orange and black. On the sides, the name of the ship is painted in big friendly letters.

AI
-All actions : 4
If you want an action executed by the crew, just type and bold it. If you want it to be done by your character, please explicitedly state so, and use bold +Italics.
Character actions might be ignored during conflicts or for secret GM reasons.
You might or might not have noticed, but I decided to overhaul the entire roll system behind this game. This should add some variation in the mix.
As such, all players get 16 points to divide over 3 different skills
Frankly, I don't care. Just make sure the action is legible and understandable. If you want some rules, have them.
1. Be nice, respectfull, whatever ... (Obligatory common sense rule)
2. RP is encouraged, but not required/
3. Try to keep IC and OOC seperate. Don't answer OOC to IC questions. (The reverse is fine, but confusing, so maybe better not)
4. Make sure people can tell the stuff apart.
