Greetings again Captain Hamlin,
It was overseen by me, that you weren't the same persons, as I just confirmed the origin of the transmission. It seems like you even have changed the initially permitted armament of the ship.
I am afraid I did underestimate the damage caused by a transport ship ramming a cruiser. I thought one of your crewmen stumbled on the impact and accidently dropped a part of some new sensor node or such.
While I am aware of the prices of research equipment I am surprised how a transport could cause such an massive amount of damage to an way better armored vessel. Considering the visual data provided by you the USI vessel was the only one which suffered from hull damage, which is just like I would expect it.
Usually your ship should be designed to sustain the stress caused by a hyper jump as well as collisions with various asteroids or scrap found sirian wide. This raises the question for me whether your ship was even configured properly.
Therefore further explanations and details are required from you:
1. Explanation how a transport vessel was able to damage your ship severely while your shields were operating at 100%.
2. Explanation how you have protected your sensitive equipment from being damaged by Asteroids, Radiation and such.
3. Your claims of the damage need to be backuped further. Please provide visual data of the outer hull, the location of the antennas and the damage caused by the ramming.
Don't get me wrong, but I need to have all the data as I can't just demand a high compensation payment from USI without sufficient rationale. Depending on the the total net worth of the damage caused I might even have to hand over this incident to the chiefs. The mentioned price of the replacement array is crucial in this case. Please contact your partners to get the quote on the price as soon as possible.
