Of course not. FDL with nothing but shield boosters.

And they want to put up a blockade???!!!
Made my day, such inconsequence!
Either shoot everyone without having a scanner or see if they talk the truth!
By the way, people should blockade the federal goal,
just wanting to destroy OH, the Indies are fine,
let 'em research!
The crazy thing about the federal goal actually is they are gonna destroy the stuff
without any research, keeping it illegal and highly profitable.
If feds had brains they would support research and maybe have no further need to outlaw the stuff,
or even use it in high-tech stuff.

This, my group has been telling all trader ships, like cobras and condas and such, to leave now or face death in SC, seems like mr hard-ball didnt pay attention to subsystems
You scallywag - love it ! 
Was there and looked around,
not much to see, just ASPs and Cobras trying to smuggle through,
FAS and FDL in the "You-Know-Meta" config.
Had a short dogfight, railboat...yawn.

I kept a wing of 4 of the Federation's bravest, uh, men busy with my unarmed cobra for an hour or 2 a couple nights ago. I accomplished nothing but crushing back a 6er but hopefully others got through
Hahahaha on the handful of runs I e made this far (was in top 25 by the time I logged last night) I have yet to have had anyone interfere. Seen a few bodies out there, all hollowed on the radar but no joy - fly in, sell fly out for another run.
I played loop-de-loop in SC last night with someone who was trying to get behind me. After about a dozen loops they gave up.
It was strangely satisfying.

Think of Iran-Contra or those more recent pics of US Soliders guarding poppy fields in afganistan....the feds make alot of money in the illegal drug trade as true in 3300 as it was in 2000
This happened last night:
I entered Altair in my cobra and was heading to the station, while attentively checking for hollow squares. One of these appeared in front of me. Opened the contacts panel. One asp, couple fed sec, a FAS and something else that didn´t need my attention. Of course I selected the FAS and voilá, that was the human. I selected it right on time to see how it started maneouvering so it could jump on me as soon as I passed by. I decided to opt for something other than the usual anxious, mindless run towrds the station. So, I just reduced my speed and waited, watching him as he was (most probably) waiting for me to appear in front of him. I had time to quietly check his cmdr´s name and the build in his ship, and kept waiting for some more seconds. Another hollow square had appeared in my scanner by then. Things were getting interesting, but I didn´t have much to lose. My smuggling cobra, 8 tons of onionhead (I support the study because, you know) and may be a little bit of my pride. Suddenly the FAS started shaking and a moments later all that remained was its wake.
What had happened? Was it that the second cmdr that had appeared in the scene had interdicted my probable hunter? Had he be hunted instead? I´ll never know for sure, but this seemed logical to me. It was quite exhilarating. Not only had I evaded the danger, but my "hunter" had become hunted, lol.
Thinking in retrospect, I could have followed the wake and may be help kill the blocker. But it´s ok. I could deliver 8 more tons for the good of science and for the good of the human spirit.
Thanks to the commanders who fight the blockade. Hopefully the galaxy will provide me with the opportunity to give you back someday

You're right, it has been an odd CG in open, it seems an anti-piracy group is muscling in and attacking the would be pirates (I just saw a FDL interdict another FDL, followed by both pulling all of their wings into the instance).
Good fun all round though
Yeah that was a fun OnionHead CG.
Met people.
Got scared.
Got killed.
Played around with dodging the blockade.
Failed. Succeeded.
Crashed the night on the couch at someone's home world.
Some pretty funny posts on the forums.
Goose and that bloke who made a video to Snoop Dogg: Braben and "#420" across the dashboard. Full OnionHead skin job.
