I've been working between the field and paperwork for a long while, and my presence has been scarce among you.
I've launched from Kreuzberg in order to assess New Berlin's defensive grid. As expected, it is very fortified in terms of firepower. There are three major solars that compose it: New Berlin's own Docking ring, Oder Shipyard and the Ring aggregate structure..
By looking at the Oder-Ring full structure from above (after narrowly escaping a Rheinland Carrier patrol, nb) we can detect four defensive appendices, for each cardinal point of the structure. North is Oder's actual docking/mooring structure, south is The Ring's actual docking/mooring structure, while east and west there are two perimetral stations, whose firepower combined can pose a threat. Should you pass nearby it, be ready to see fireworks all over the place. The structures are equipped with the basic turret/EMP combination.
Of a lesser extent against fighters (and of higher extent to capital vessels) is the docking ring structure, armed with 2 EMP turrets and 2 light mortars. In short - better stray clear of it, unless you have a death wish. I saw death itself more than once while scouting around, narrowly dodging mortar shots.
Lastly, there is a modular base named Breuninger Station, which showed neutral on my scanners, and isn't considered a direct threat. Still, better leave it alone. With my scouting done, I took my way back to Kreuzberg - and guess what? I encountered a Liberty Carrier! In the middle of Rheinland! I took some scans of it, and it showed to sport a Liberty Navy identifications and Freelancer transponder - quite a peculiar combination, I dare say. Lightly equipped with a Grade 4 Heavy Armor Upgrade, what piqued my interest were two things: three units of alien Artifacts in his hold (aside from the most various things) and a Heavy Drone Bay Module. Since he flew away without even answering me, I chose to return to Kreuzberg and file this report.
In other news, I'll forward the request to our Quartiermeister to acquire one Phantom Heavy Fighter as a means of an harassment/scouting ship.
"It's not a compliment, it's a matter of fact. I never saw you whining about stuff when it didn't go your way, you never do ooRP-arranged stuff, you're active, you're good at playing your character ingame and you're neutral enough to not end up as a clown infront of the community."
