After escorting a Rhino transport from Pennsylvania, I arrived in New York to calls for help from Detective Toronto. My comms went static as I approached the scene. 2 Falcata bombers, 1 Outcast, 1 Hacker, and a gunship, presumably Hacker as well. I engaged with my Patriot, drawing fire and attention, especially with generous application of Wasp CDs and countermeasure flares to hinder the enemy and confuse their deployed ordinance. I remained engaged with the Hacker Falcata longest. It opened fire on me repeatedly, but was unsuccessful in dealing critical damage to my hull. The gunship disappeared from sensors. I didn't see why. The Outcast was destroyed. I pressed my aggressive assaults on the Hacker until enough MKII craft were engaged with it that I could withdraw without leaving our side without proper covering fire. The intruders were destroyed, and their light escorts arrested. More details to be found in the reports of the other officers.
Personal Note: The Patriot LF held up better than expected. Cruise Disruptor and Countermeasure deployment proved effective in hindering opposing forces that far outclassed my ship, allowing more opportunities for key attack craft to damage enemies. Pilots so outmatched should remember these strategies for assisting superiors in the field.
Craft flown: Patriot LPI Light Fighter
Load-out and Expenditures: x4 Justice MKIII, Lv2 Graviton Shield, Countermeasure (15 spent) Wasp CD (15 spent) Shield Battery (supply exhausted) Nano (none spent)

Congratulations to Officer James Kurios, Who has been named the Head Patriot Flight instructor. Due to his dedication and skill, he has earned this title. All New officers should get with him for check out and familiarization flights.
Learn from this man, he is deadly in a Patriot, and heck, he hasn't even gone thru the rest of the spacecraft pool yet!

Yesterday my patrol started off nice and simple from fort bush, when on the trade lane to the Missouri I picked up the trail of a liberty gunboat with the wrong id so i and officer Tom Landers went to check it out:
I left the matter with officer Tom since he wanted to talk to the guy alone....
I then joined Sargent Joe Smith on patrol. When we got to west point we got word of a couple of pirates in California in a gunboat and a bomber. Mr. Smith called in for some bombers and a couple of LSF and 1st ships came, here was the force we attacked with:
We went to California and got stopped in the trade lane and opened fire by Maseru the outcast in a rouge gunboat and Solari in the falcata. Heres some gun cam footage:
Then the gunboat opened fire on me and my ship was destroyed as it couldn't take that much firepower. A couple of minutes after i was destroyed Maseru was destroyed and then soon after Maseru. Heres the proof:

Alright, this is Chrstine Dallas, and... uh, I'm a Recruit Officer. So, I started patrolling with Sergeant Alexi Burgess at Fort Bush, and took the trade lane to Planet Manhattan. Then, we took another trade lane to West Point, when we saw a hostile on our scanners. We broke out of the lane, and a Junker came with counterfeit software. Alexi yelled at her to drop it, and she gave up pretty easily. We continued our patrol, until a Bounty Hunter informed me about criminals at the lane between West Point and Manhattan. We found the hostiles, and engaged with the help of two Bounty Hunters. Soon, Deputy Chief Hull O'Brian joined us in the fight. One of the Bounty Hunters' ship was destroyed, and we killed one of the hostiles. My Patriot wasn't going to do anything to the rest, so I pulled back to Manhattan, and created this report.
Launched from West Point and got a distress call from Manhattan. A couple of Rogues hijacked Rhino Express, a passenger transport. They demanded a million credits for the release of the hostages. I duped them into thinking I was getting them the money, then went EV and boarded their ship. Before they knew what hit them, I was on the bridge with my peacekeeper. It could have gone smoother from there, but a mining ship tried to catch the transport in it's asteroid clamps. The ship was knocked into atmo and blew. Luckily the passenger compartment was scooped up along with everyone else by a BHG gunboat, call sign Painkiller. The captain followed my instruction and the rogues, passengers, and myself were all put down safely.
I re-boarded my Patriot and went after a slave liner that passed by, Slave.Liner-XT.19-Tango. Turns out it was AI controlled. It carried no slaves, so the others that arrived to assist let it go. Thanks to LSF Jordi and officers Dallas and Goodman for the speedy arrivals. I talked with the AI at length and found it came from Xeno and Rogue commanders. However, it had long been out of contact with them, and most of it's authorized command staff were dead. I convinced it to go to Baltimore shipyards for repairs, rather than flying itself into the sun. There it allowed us to reprogram it somewhat. We erased all but one of it's criminal commanders from the registry of authorized personnel. After that I had the AI itself added so it could amend or countermand the orders of the remaining commander. I advised it to continue functioning as an observation craft and to follow Liberty protocols. It agreed, and I sent the ship on it's way. It seemed competent of keeping out of trouble, and it almost seemed like it wanted to avoid being troublesome. I intend to track down this craft again later on to see what progress it has made. so if anyone sees it, please let me know.
After some spectating of training in Connecticut, I made my was back to West Point and prepared for my trip to California. An ion storm interrupted the journey, so I have filed this report while I wait.
I started off my patrol at west point and headed for California. When i reached there a bounty hunter informed me that they had just busted a slave trader carrying over 2500 slaves. I contacted a libery navy transport then Ms Julia Wolfe of the LSF but none of them had a transport close enough to the scene.
I then contacted Sgt. Aiden Maggard for a transport and he said he'd find one. About 10-15 minutes later he informed me that he'd found a junker trader willing to help us called Shagohad-[T]. He also brought his own grizzly freighter.

Subject: Kingfisher Spacecraft.
As of Immediately, the Kingfisher is available to Sergeants and above as an alternative to the Libby. A recommended Load out will be published shortly.
Conversely, that is going to make the Eagle as a SWAT only ship. Those Sergeants that already had a Eagle setup may keep them, as they are grandfathered in.
