Hello,
As you may already know, one of the ships in my convoy was shot down earlier today, outside Oceana Shipping Platform. This ship was on a routine trading mission from Freistadt base, hauling 4,900 units of silver, and was destroyed shortly after attempting to dock. The shipment was destroyed as well. It is in our best interests to keep your bases supplied, and I do realize that I should have contacted you before sending a shipment, but destroying an innocent trader whilst he was defending your base from pirates is unacceptable. If this was an malfunction of your installation's defense platforms, please fix them immediately. However, if you intentionally shot our transport down, I will have to report you to the authorities, and have your base removed from the system. Or at the very least, given a very bad reputation.
