Transport Report: Tau > New Berlin > O7

Todays transport run was very eventful! First, we were mining under XTF fire. Thanks to the hard work of Sarah Miller we were able to complete the operation. So, you would think the worst was over? Hardly. Some crazy Zoner in an Order gun boat tried to pirate us! But we showed him what the combined fire of five transports can do!



There were other attempts to pirate along the way but they too were fought off, and we arrived safe at New Berlin.



Good flying wtih all of you! Everyone showed excelent form under fire.

Drinks are on me at the Falster Station bar!

I still have to get some convoy reports done. And I should do that today, or else I will just forget about it.

Transport Report: T23 > New Berlin > Omega 3 > Omega 7

We ran into a Zoner gunboat who suddenly wanted 3 million from every transport. We decided that we would rather run him off. It ended in his gunboat exploding, as mentioned in Cire's report.



I took a break and missed one flight.


Transport Report: T23 > New Berlin > Omega 3 > Omega 7

A routine run without any hostile interaction, even though we had some contacts in systems that sounded fishy. I think our strength scared them off.




Transport Report: Omega 7 > Tau 31 > Dublin

A fast and rather easy flight without anything relevant to report. We made good speed on this one, not taking any risks. We connected the route to Dublin, as the Mollys demanded some supplies.





Transport Report: Dublin > New Tokyo > T23

After some mining was done in Dublin, we flew to New Tokyo.

There was nothing remarkable today on the run. Anna McCarthy flew escort and patched us through. We met a GMG transport and an Interspace who tagged along. The GMG was fired at in front of Planet New Tokyo by the Hogosha "Itabashi" station.




Molly Mission Report: Harris > Arranmore

We delivered three transports full of H-Fuel to Arranmore base before we headed off to mine in Dublin (see report above). There were no further complications in the run. Anna McCarthy provided field intel and later on mining close support.

Not too much to report. We attacked Argo and managed to take it out. Gattopardo managed to flee in time.



Noteworthy was the fight in Tau 37, which led us into Alpha where we took out some Outcast before being pushed back to T37 and later fighting commenced in T23. Rorry's Bottlenose gunboat was finally taken out by the Lost Star. It is still a beautiful picture, even though we cannot claim it as our kill.

Dennis Owens with another report,

Starting from the Taus, our convoy flew Niobium to New Berlin, with Julia headed off to gather some of our bargaining cargo. Nothing to report other than a bit of convoy misconduct from our young Adam Rushmore.

Unfortunately when on the way to Aland to gather Robotics, I ran into our new mercenary friend Mr. Peyton. Underestimating the firepower and plating mounted on the Endeavour, I was able to fend him off until the arrival of Sean Henderson, who bought me enough time to dock on Freiburg. I hear Claire managed to assist in the bugger's demise, nice to have her looking out for me.

Heading off to Atka to pick up the required Organs and Pharmaceuticals from Cryer, I rushed to Freeport 9 while they were still safely stored. The deal went smoothly despite some ion buildup on the Endeavour, and our pilots were returned through the Omegas and are safe.

Kind regards,
Dennis Owens

Claire Owens here,

A few "active self-defences" to report in, seems the Corsairs have - or at least had - an abundance of gunboats.
Hektor, Antabus and CN-Salvatore, all three of them were destroyed.

Until next time,
Claire Owens

Greetings! Captain Bart here to report yet another successful ore delivery!

It was rather tense mining silver in Omega 7 this morning as the place was crawling with pirates. But our defense wing was up to the task
and thankfully all transports were sucessfully filled with ore.
After a breif rendesvous at Aland shipyard we proceeded to Planet Cambridge.
I was in T1 position.


After departing from planet Cambridge things got somewhat hairy. A group of pirates with the [P] callsign tried to intercept our convoy.
The main body of our convoy made it safely to the Leeds JH,
with only one transport falling behind.


Half of our defensive escorts peeled off and escorted the lone transport via an alternate route.The main body of the convoy proceeded
with a safe delivery at our destination.
We gathered at the JG leading into Tau 23, and orgainzed the supplying of
Fort Siloso.


As is normally the case, our customers were pleased with our delivery,
the pirates were frustrated at not catching us and the profits continue flood our coffers.

I caught up with the captains from the ships that broke away from the main body of the convoy later in the Java Cantina,
and it appears they too made it safely to their destinations unscathed. I love reporting success!

...End Transmission...

Dennis again,

Well now I'm getting that nostalgic feeling, reminds me of when I rejoined the Guild a year ago. Not Falster and the defences this time, but Siloso and repair commodities now.
Starting off with a Niobium run, it was Robotics, and then quite the number of holds filled with Ship Hull Panels and Basic Alloy:
1 2 3 4 5 6
Also had a Pirate, friendly with the Outcasts, who was soon driven off after making the mistake of pirating us.

Henderson, do you think I've gotten too old for bonuses?

Kind regards,

Eric Pearce reporting in from Dounby,

First of all, thank you very much for the Mark, I'll be sure to keep it safe.
Acting as... Vanguard for a convoy headed north to the Taus, that went smoothly. As much as I love the girl (and my refitted Arrastra, the Pentland), thought it was time to get myself a fighter.

Gathering the materials with Rushmore keeping me company, it was quite the route! A little trip through the Hispanic battlefields to keep my wits sharp, seems they were all fighting elsewhere though.
Following up on a mention of a base by a Daumann employee, I passed by it in Koeln on my way to pick up some High-Temperature Alloy. Perhaps the Polizei could be informed if it is unregistered...

On top of that, my SNAC is cooling down after a few kills.
[APR]Argo, a Storta that was sorted out
~VP)Exiled.Orchid, who despite losing his friend to and then taking out our famous Mr. Lister, still had a hidden Salvager full of shield batteries and Cali to wear out. Even managed to blow my thruster off before I detached the hull from his cockpit.

For the Guild,
Eric Pearce

I missed some reports, and some have been done by other pilots, so I lost my overview a little. But there are two that I can put in here, so here they go.

Transport Report: T23 > New Berlin > Omega 3 > Omega 7

We ran into a Farmer Alliance bomber who could be repelled by transport gunfire after he tried to demand 10 million per transport. He was clever enough to only try it for a few approaches, then he left heavily damaged.





Transport Report: T23 > New Berlin > Omega 3 > Omega 7

A routine run without any hostile interaction.

Today there was major fighting in T23 after XTF Outcast attacked Java perimeter. They were beaten back. I think six Outcast exploded, while allies lost a Colonial Nyx in the fighting.

A convoy arrived in the Omegas and Aland reported a pirate named Luxurius Enterprise (Gallic Junker, L'ane) at Freeport 1. Said pirate had already attacked and robbed 3000 units of ore from a Colonial Mover. The Junker sold the ore right in front of the victim at Planet New Berlin.

Said pirate was found at Freeport 1 and interrogated.



He claimed innocence, but the Colonial commander was able to deliver flawless evidence, so we called the Freeport 1 Administrator to the scene.

Seeing her, the transport pirate flew off, challenging a bomber to a fight. Once out of 10k range, he made the mistake to fire a shot. We did not give him the chance to engage his cloaking device.



After that, an Outcast Storta that was trying to defend the Gallic Junker verbally at the Freeport got in our way again, after having been evicted by the Freeport 1 administator.

Together with Silver Reaver, we trashed the Storta which tried to cloak but we got it before it could.
