[25.03.2024 23:07:45] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: And what are you exactly doing here
[25.03.2024 23:08:01] KKS-Kaiser: RO: Liberty vessel, this is the Kaiser, we are currently conducting a freedom of navigation exercise.
[25.03.2024 23:08:14] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: And what is THAT exactly
[25.03.2024 23:08:30] KKS-Kaiser: RO: This is the Bismarck Class Battleship KKS-Kaiser.
[25.03.2024 23:08:52] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: Put your captain on the horn, Operator
[25.03.2024 23:09:03] KKS-Kaiser: RO: Verstanten, one moment.
[25.03.2024 23:09:18] KKS-Kaiser: RO: He is currently in the officer's mess you see? It will be a moment.
[25.03.2024 23:09:21] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: Van Leer: You were seen blockading Liberty side of the system
[25.03.2024 23:10:08] KKS-Kaiser: K: Kapitan Holzner, Heimatflotte.
[25.03.2024 23:10:48] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: Captain, this is the Admiral of the Armada Blake Wayne Van Leer - mind sharing why your crew veered into a blockading position
[25.03.2024 23:10:51] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: Of our tradelanes?
[25.03.2024 23:11:14] KKS-Kaiser: K: We were conducting a freedom of navigation exercise in a neutral system.
[25.03.2024 23:11:34] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: Well, not exactly neutral, is it!
[25.03.2024 23:11:54] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: You know, a war was waged here, the treaty has been deemed outdated
[25.03.2024 23:12:05] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: I Rather you didn't increase the tensions, Captain
[25.03.2024 23:12:21] KKS-Kaiser: K: Well if the treaty is outdated there is no issue with us conducting our navigation exercise here?
[25.03.2024 23:12:30] KKS-Kaiser: K: This is simply a navigation exercise and anti-piracy patrol.
[25.03.2024 23:12:42] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: what is exactly the purpose of the navigation exercise?
[25.03.2024 23:13:06] KKS-Kaiser: K: To navigate and secure neutral space from pirate threats.
[25.03.2024 23:13:13] KKS-Kaiser: K: Namely the so-called "Xenos".
[25.03.2024 23:13:22] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: Well, yes they are our problem
[25.03.2024 23:13:27] Death: "Cordoba" suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[25.03.2024 23:13:33] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: And you do have a point about the treaty being outdated
[25.03.2024 23:13:50] KKS-Kaiser: K: Not when they attack Rheinland shipping in the shipping lanes.
[25.03.2024 23:13:52] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: It is a legal mess. We do thank you for helping with the terrorists indeed.
[25.03.2024 23:14:11] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: But please be mindful of the tense Legal Limbo, I am sure we don't want to repeat the past
[25.03.2024 23:14:27] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: I believe the last war started over a mnissunderstanding
[25.03.2024 23:14:27] Changing screen mode=windowed
[25.03.2024 23:14:43] KKS-Kaiser: K: The Liberty Navy has conducted such operations in the past, Vizeadmiral Kunrad has assured me there are no issues.
[25.03.2024 23:14:58] Changing screen mode=full
[25.03.2024 23:15:25] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: Well, we do not conduct them infront of your lanes *laughs*
[25.03.2024 23:15:33] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: Just please avoid the blockading positions next time
[25.03.2024 23:15:46] KKS-Kaiser: K: Why not? It is simply the most efficient way of running an anti-piracy operation.
[25.03.2024 23:15:51] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: You do remember Jena station?
[25.03.2024 23:16:12] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: Liberty had nothing to do with that, but a missunderstanding lead to war in this very system
[25.03.2024 23:16:21] KKS-Kaiser: K: While I can confirm the Heimatflotte is based in such areas, I would advise you not to discuss that over comms.
[25.03.2024 23:16:25] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: The Xenos do NOT use tradelanes as their primary means, Captain
[25.03.2024 23:16:58] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: That is not up to me, this legal limbo was caused by politicians
[25.03.2024 23:17:12] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: They need to resolve it, it's on us to calm any tensions of course, I hope you understand
[25.03.2024 23:17:58] KKS-Kaiser: K: I follow orders from the Admiralty, what the politicians do is of no concern to me.
[25.03.2024 23:18:18] KKS-Kaiser: K: We obey the Kaiser and Admiral Henze in the military, not a New Berlin bureaucrat.
[25.03.2024 23:18:27] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: Well, in Liberty we are bound to the High Congress and the President
[25.03.2024 23:18:38] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: The electorate ultimately decides
[25.03.2024 23:18:48] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: Through their representatives
[25.03.2024 23:19:26] KKS-Kaiser: K: I care not for what your electorate decrees, my duty here is to carry out my orders.
[25.03.2024 23:19:26] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: And there have been *rumors* about your Kaiser
[25.03.2024 23:19:56] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: Between us, I do not like one bit how close to Gallia your house is moving towards
[25.03.2024 23:20:31] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: Democracy, the voice of the people - that we respect, aristocratic leaders are but one voice
[25.03.2024 23:20:43] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: The probability of them being the best voice are slim to none, statistically speaking
[25.03.2024 23:20:54] KKS-Kaiser: K: If the Kaiser wills we must be friends with Gallia, I will do as he bids.
[25.03.2024 23:20:59] KKS-Kaiser: K: Libertonian concerns are not mine.
[25.03.2024 23:21:28] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: Well, now I get it. Our House's voted in representatives are to us what your Kaiser is to you
[25.03.2024 23:21:29] Rules Tip: Pirates need to keep their demands reasonable. Cargo and Monetary demands that exceed the maximum profit of a trader are viewed as unreasonable. ''Empty'' traders are not excempt from piracy, but the demands asked from them should reflect this.
[25.03.2024 23:21:46] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: We just happen to not have clear instructions from them about this system
[25.03.2024 23:22:15] KKS-Kaiser: K: My orders are clear, this vessel will continue to operate in Hudson as long as ordered.
[25.03.2024 23:22:29] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: So we are not so different, but please - when it comes to going after our Xenos, there's no need to blockade
[25.03.2024 23:22:32] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: tradelanes on our side
[25.03.2024 23:22:51] KKS-Kaiser: K: On the contrary, the Xeno activity is far higher on the "Libertonian" side of the system.
[25.03.2024 23:23:04] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: It is our failure that they can threaten traffic here, granted, but they attack from their hideouts
[25.03.2024 23:23:07] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: Not from the tradelanes
[25.03.2024 23:23:08] Death: "Cordoba" suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[25.03.2024 23:23:25] KKS-Kaiser: K: They attack the tradelanes our vessels travel along. Therefore we must patrol the tradelanes.
[25.03.2024 23:23:50] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: Yes, but just don't blockade the direct path with your vessel's mass, all we ask, yes?
[25.03.2024 23:24:05] KKS-Kaiser: K: This vessel has not directly blocked the tradelanes at any time.
[25.03.2024 23:24:10] KKS-Kaiser: K: Our operation does not require it.
[25.03.2024 23:24:25] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: Well, good, it sure did seem that way!
[25.03.2024 23:24:40] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: Ensign/Helm: "Their vessel so fat"
[25.03.2024 23:24:47] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: That's enough
[25.03.2024 23:24:58] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: We have an understanding, good hunting Rheinlanders
[25.03.2024 23:25:05] KKS-Kaiser: K: Very well, Admiral.
[25.03.2024 23:25:25] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: And do point your Kaiser and Government to the legal Limbo if you have any chance
[25.03.2024 23:25:38] 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive: CO: Your emperor might work faster than our democracy
[25.03.2024 23:26:11] 2024-03-25 23:26:11 SMT Traffic control alert: 1st|LNS-Mount.Massive has docked
