Sender ID – Gefreiter Michael Schmidt Location – Battleship Moselle, Braunschweig Subject – Patrol Report
Guten Tag,
On a patrol through the Frankfurt and Munich system, I spotted an unknown newly constructed station near Planet Rosenheim in Munich, close to Raubling Station. My bomber didn't seem to have docking access. The base itself was already heavily damaged, with smoke coming out of it and parts of the station burning. There was nobody available who could've helped or to be contacted, so I carried on and hoped that the ones responsible for the maintenance of the station would arrive soon. After a short while, I received message that the base blew up, presumably through the lack of repair commodities. =[ * | * | * ]=
Afterwards, I had a very valuable training session with the honorable Admiral Weissman. It taught me some neat tricks to outmaneuver your enemy and counter his tactics.
Later, I started a patrol through Stuttgart and New Berlin, scanning vessels coming from and going to the Omega systems.
There, I spotted an Interspace Commerce train undocking from Bonn, under heavy fire from Battleship Altenburg. To not get hit, the train hid behind Bonn, and I questioned the vessel a bit. Eventually, a junker with a pirate train arrived, carrying goods towards Dresden. As the ship is rather unwelcome, I asked the captain the reason behind using this vessel. The ship cruised towards the asteroid field bearing the criminal base in the south west of the New Berlin system plus the Dresden Jumphole. I repeatedly told it to stop, but it didn't obey and instead opened fire on me. After a while, the transport blew up.
The Interspace Commerce transport followed us around while the fighting happened and eventually opened fire right before the pirate train exploded. It refused to cease fire even when I told it to do so. Needless to say, it didn't take long until it blew up aswell, with the kind help of the battlestations of Strausberg. =[ * | * || * | * || * | * | * ]=
In the evening, I met one of the military who didn't seem to make it to the primary fleet yet. Jack_van_Nistelrooy was the callsign. I included him in my patrol through New Berlin, Dresden, Hamburg, Stuttgart and Koeln. There, I told him a few things to do and helped him equipping his ship. We also did a short hit-and-run mission against a solar installation from the red hessians that was available on Altenburg. Nothing unusual happened on the patrol, it was comparably quiet.
I completed a few more hit-and-run missions on Altenburg, then returned to a patrol through New-Berlin and Stuttgart, when I noticed a gunboat captain =DI=--Samanuel, using a liberty rogue gunboat along with a zoner IFF and his ID stated he is a junker. I stopped and questioned the captain in Omega 7. There, he stated he'd be an unlawful junker. I would advise being cautious with him, as terrorists and criminal equipment is not permitted. A liberty rogue gunboat clearly falls under this. =[ * | * | * ]=
