The battle seems to be evening out somewhat.
Raptor Squadron finishes off the Nurse Shark frigate.
The defense frigate speeds up to keep up with the freighter. Next turn it will need to slow down...
The Republic ships chase after the Tiger Shark, but are unable to get in range.
The freighter coasts alongside the defense frigate.
The Tiger Shark joins the group huddling behind the frigate's shield.
The Hellfury launches two missiles...
... and kills the assault frigate. The Hellfury has two heavy missiles left -- once those are gone it's down to its main gun and the rear-firing light missile launcher.
It then opens up on the boarding frigate, doing two damage points.
Overwatch of the main area of the battle.
A second Overwatch showing the pirate convoy. The freighter will enter the jump-capable zone next turn, but due to certain events in the ground battle it won't be able to jump just yet...
I'll be going away for a while, and probably won't be able to update until Monday. Have all your orders in by then, or there'll be Hell to pay. Actually, you should probably send your orders in tomorrow, because that's the only day I'll be able to check them.

The pirate rifleman throws the hyperdrive part to Captain Cutlass.
He heads to the engine room and replaces the part.
The pirate rifleman fires but misses.
The two remaining coalition troops grab the cart and run over the pirate rifleman!
They try to do the same to Captain Cutlass, but they roll a heroic failure and run into the wall.
Captain Cutlass takes a response action and attacks the coalition troops with his sword, but misses.
The two troops fire and kill the pilot!

So do we still get the victory points for the freighter if we take control of it and have it jump? Or will the points go to the pirates since they replaced the hyperspace part?

As if we care. More explosives!
