I guess you heard about the frequent attacks by the libertonians. They've tried to break Hamburg's defense systems, which is of course impossible. However, if I'd call them incapable of leading a capital fleet, I'd be insulting our own Battleship captains aswell, therefore I'll just be silent, and sent you a few guncam shots.
One more thing though: We should focus on the person who is commanding the Project"Dragon, since I cought him now three times in a row, disobeying our orders in combat situations. I'm wondering why he didn't lost his rank of battleship admiral yet, for his repeated insubordination. In my opinion, he should be arrested and face the military court's consequences. We shall not tolerate such behaviour.
Scheduled patrol in Western Rheinland with Major Theodor Sittlingen at 19:30, New Berlin Time. The route was clear to Omega-7, where we received reports from the Daumann in Omega-11 about possible hessian activity in that sector, so we went there to investigate. On our way from the asteroid field to the Stuttgart jump gate, we encountered a hessian patrol, including two fighters. As the Major ordered, we attempted to destroy the two vessels and capture the pilots. Unfortunately, they managed to fritter the armor of the Major's ship, so I've sent him my nanobots to hold his ship together. Bad luck, the reinforcements came late, my ship was ignited and the emergency system launched the cockpit module away from the exploding ship. The rest of us managed to get me back to safety.

I was starting my patrol in Hamburg when some "kind of trouble" near Essen/Dortmund was reported to me. Arriving there it appeared that some RNC members had stopped a Bounty Hunters Battlecruiser with a RM ID/IFF. It appeared he had come to New Berlin to join the Military with this ship. RNC already explained that that was impossible. He didn't accept that answer and wanted to talk to someone of the HQ. That's the moment I showed up.
He accepted me as an acceptable representive of [RM] and I explained that all Rheinland Military was only allowed to fly Rheinland ships. It wasn't a rule, it was the law. Period.
We told him he could buy a nice Cruiser at the Alster Shipyard but he refused with the argument he wouldn't get enough money for it. So I thanked him for his willingness to join us but only "when using the right outfit". http://www.baltissen.org/images/screen5.jpg
After that he set sail to Omega-58, the home world of the BHG.
During this discussion a transporter with nearly 5K of diamonds on board ran into us. Checking my database I knew that the only reasonable place to sell them with some profit was Liberty. So I asked him and the answer was that he was going to sell them to Freeport 2. But the same database told me that Freeport 2 buys diamonds for $250 and so he never could make an profit at all. I told him and asked for an explanation. He didn't give one so I ordered him to drop the cargo. He didn't either and after a second warning (from RNC) I and RNC blew him up. http://www.baltissen.org/images/screen2.jpg http://www.baltissen.org/images/screen3.jpg
Checking the longe range scanner I found some one in Hamburg with the weirdest name I had seen so far so I thought about paying him a visit. I found him flying a Valkyrie near the New Berlin jump hole fighting with about ten Unioners so I gave him a helping hand. After the fight he thanked me and went off again. http://www.baltissen.org/images/screen6.jpg
Later he asked over the privat channel if he could join [RM] as well so I explained him.

Report of [LN]-LNS-Lake.Shasta in Hamburg
Dear Sirs:
At approximately 9:30 PM on 12/26/12, the Westfalen detected an unauthorized ship in the asteroid field northeast of its position. Due to refueling operations, the Westfalen was unable to respond.
Myself along with the RNC-Nassau were scrambled and ordered to investigate. While searching the asteroid field, no ship was found. However, an ion fuel trail was discovered leading into the Bering jumphole in the echo quadrant.
Analysis of the ion residue against the current energy signatures of known Liberty ships match with the [LN]-LNS-Lake.Shasta.
I suspect that this exploratory incursion into Hamburg could be the forerunner to a large scale attack by the Liberty Navy against the Westfalen.
Two days ago we received a report about ships tagged (ORBC) building a secret base somewhere in Omega-7. I have seen them flying from O-7 to Planet Stuttgart and back with nothing but Basic Alloy as their cargo. Anyway, today I took it as my task to make a complete survey of O-7.
In sector G2 I ran into a ship called "fart_master" busy mining at that spot. The next logscreen shows his reason why he was there. I explained him that this was Kruger area, only meant for Rheinland miners. As we had no records of him, I ordered him to drop the ore and I would escort him to Freistadt Base where he could wait for his friends.
Once arrived at Freistadt, he took the lane to Omega-3. The longe range scanner showed that he was just hoovering near the jump gate. So I decided to pay him a visit. When he saw me coming, he disappeared through the gate.
The only thing I can report about the search for the station: nothing found.

Guten Tag Meine herren!
Today I have launched from Battleship Karlsruhe and followed my normal patrol.I jumped into Dresden system,after receiving faint signals from an enemy presence.I found another Flieger fighting a Red Hessian,so I offered to take his place and fight the hess plague.I have succesfully managed to defeat him,but then another hess fighter appeared.I have tried to fend that off,but my ship sustained critical damage during the dogfight with the first hessian,so I had to pull out of the fight and dock with Battleship Altenburg for repairs.
Although I do not like running from fight,which is cowardice,but I had to do it to avoid being taken prisoneer.

Zhat would be all for today!

Today's patrol is was notable on two different occasions. Primarily, the destruction of an LWB fighter-class vessel, named Red_AlerT. It is my strong conviction that the pilot behind the controls was hopelessly intoxicated. Our brief conversation points to this possible fact.
Some time after eliminating the fighter, I've got a message from one of our men in New Berlin about a Freelancer under the name of Rip.Red.Rorry. Upon finishing my patrol in Stuttgart and jumping into New Berlin, I encountered this personage. My cruise disruptors had no effect, as the ship was already more than 2.5KM away from the jump gate. Following him proved futile, as there was no one I could contact in order to set an intercept course. My suggestion is the confiscation of his gunboat and his placement under arrest.
The other day, I was on patrol by Major Sittlingen's order, when I received an emergency call from the Bowex about a hessian cruiser pirating harmless freighters at the Stuttgart gate. See that I'm coming, the cruiser jumped tpo Stuttgart and I requested a mission update, which was followed by a loss of a fafnir bomber and two Bowex vessels. After 5 minutes, as I couldn't stand the chainfiring anti-fighter projectiles, I returned to New Berlin and sealed the jump gate. Although, one Bowex vessel survived the skirmish, he was given a temporarly mooring right to the Straussberg. Later on with the arrival of Fähnrich Adrian Wiesen and some other units, the problem was solved and the rats bited the dust once again.

Two unlawful cruisers were spotted close to Stuttgart jumpgate in New Berlin, one a Praefect-class Corsair ship and other, a Hel-class Landwirtrechtbewegung ship who, strangely enough, seemed to be working together, or so they decided when they were spotted by our patrols. A bomber wing was sent in to deal with the problem, but sadly, using cloaks, both ships managed to flee. A more detailed description of the incident can be found in Flieger Clegane's report.
After making sure the system is cleared of those capitals, our group - consisting of three Military pilots and two RFP officers - split and decided to do a complete patrol of the New Berlin lanes. On my way through the Bonn - Essen lane, I encountered a Unioner fighter, who - like the two hostiles earlier - tried to flee as well, but managing to disrupt the vessel which was geared with Liberty Rogues equipment, I managed to take care of ship and clear the area, after which I returned to Battleship Strausberg to repair and refuel my ship.
