On your comm device in each of our ships, there is an option to set up preset messages to save you time. They are numbered 0 thru 9. In the proceeding parts, you do not need to type the quotation ["] marks. In the chat panel you can see what you already have by typing "/showmsgs" and hitting enter. Most of you will have nothing. So lets set one up so you can see how it works.

In the chat panel type "/setmsg 0 Hello World" and hit enter. Now when you open a chat window and type "/0" and hit enter. In the system chat it will now say "Hello World"

These are the standard messages that should be used on your vessel. (Minor variations permitted)
Or something close to these effects.

Now you are probably asking what the "#t" is for. That will be the name of the ship that you currently have targeted in your aiming reticule. Makes life easy if you have to get someone's attention in a big hurry. Using these or a derivative thereof, nobody can say that you didn't give ample warning.

You can see that messages 5 and 6 are empty, so you can put in some customized messages. These are not intended to be a replacement for the Mark 1 Voice Box. Use these sparingly as you see fit.

Additionally, all LPI vessels have access to the Nodock command, which has been wired into our shipboard systems and allows us to temporary cut docking privileges for a targeted vessel. Simply target a vessel and enter the command "/nodock", and then go from there.

In the interests of safety of our officers, and continued good relations with the Junkers, all LPI officers are ordered to stay at least 5K from these bases.

Or don't. It's all up to you.

If a perp is headed there, get guncam photos and the LPI Command will forward them on to the Junkers. If a Junker Congressman or Junker Marauder is in system, alert them that said perp is heading for their home. Once on board either of these bases, the perp is under their jurisdiction. Unless you want to chase down a smelly, dirty criminal in a sea of other smelly, dirty criminals, there's nothing else that you can do.

This chapter covers the naming conventions for various LPI vessels.

Lieutenant:

LPI-Firstname.Lastname[Lt]

Captain:

LPI-Firstname.Lastname[Cp]

Deputy Chief:

Chief of Police:

LPI-Firstname.Lastname[C]

SWAT ships naming conventions are as follows:

LPI-SWAT-Firstinitial.Lastname[SWAT Designator for said vessel]

All ships used by the LPI, gunboat and above, are named after Old Earth North American (American and Canadian) Prisons.

I.E LPI-Rikers, LPI-Folsom, LPI-San Quentin.

Here is a basic list of what kind of enemies you'll encounter and what to do when you find them.

Liberty Rogues: Shoot these.

Lane Hackers: Shoot these.

Outcasts: Shoot these.

Xenos: Shoot these.

Unioners: Do these even exist?

Hellfire Legion: You should probably leave these to the Navy.

Gallic Royal Navy: Let the Navy handle it.

Gallic Royal Police: Navy's problem.

The Order: Navy.

Nomads: Navy.

Infectees: Navy.

Coalition: Navy.

Rheinland Military: Navy.

All LPI ships are equipped with noise projection systems that forcibly play over local communications networks. Originally designed as an anti-riot and anti-pirate non-lethal weapon for the Navy, the Long-Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) has since been repurposed for use by the LPI on all standard vessels. Use these to signal that justice has arrived, or if you just want to annoy everybody sitting on top of Newark like they own the place.

Don't let the non-lethal nomenclature fool you, however. The LRAD is more than capable of temporarily deafening people and causing permanent hearing damage, and as such you should use it only in an emergency.

Or just use it whenever you want. I'm just a manual, not a cop.

This Manual has been compiled from a variety of sources. In particular the original field manual created by Former Deputy Chief Oliver Shaw (dejavu) and the training lessons created by Former Chief Hull O'Brian (hack).

Without their creativity and effort this FM would not exist.



Field Manual compiled and revised by Chief Jonas Valent December 821 A.S.

Liberty law states that you can only fine offenders up to ten million, so that means that anything below ten million is fair game. Here we will list the standard fines for different offenses.

Contraband Smugglers: Standard Operating Procedure for Contraband Smugglers is to ask for a fine and ask them to drop their illegal goods. Call for a transport to come take the contraband to the nearest LPI office for "processing" as "evidence".

Up to 1000 units of contraband, as defined by Liberty laws: One million fine + Drop Contraband
With that, every additional 1000 units will up the fine by one million.
If the smuggler gives you lip: Add one million to the fine.

Remember to use your guncam and file a report after an encounter with a smuggler. This way, we can identify repeat offenders and punish them accordingly.

Illegal Ships or IDs: SOP for pilots with illegal ships or IDs is to ask them to either buy a new ship, or tell them to get outta town. That means escorting them out of Liberty.

First-time Offenders: Warning + Shown the nearest door.
Second-time Offenders: Two million credit fine + Shown the nearest door.
Third-time Offenders: Three million credit fine + Shown the nearest door. Submit evidence and we will put the repeat offender on the criminal list.

Lane loiterers. We always have those time of people. As the Libertonian Law states that anyone who disrupts the lane has the intent to Pirate someone, anyone found around the lanes with unknown intents (middle of the lanes or such), are to be told to leave that place at once.

First-time offenders: Warning + Send away from the place. (Any unlawful ID that is not pirating there is to be fined 5 million and sent away.)
Second-time offenders: Two million credit fine + Warning before the arrest. (Any unlawful ID that is not pirating there in this case is cleared to be engaged)
Third-time offenders: You are cleared to engage in this case as the offender is considered dangerous at this point.

Any freelancers assisting the Unlawful forces are to be shot down on sight and reported to the Chief of police.

If they do not comply, you are cleared to engage. If they manage to get away in any way, report it to the Chief as soon as possible.
