After the first patrol of Omega 7 (involved: Ian Desari, Jack Henderson, Ms. Fontaine - see report of Mr. Desari) I landed my Nyx and took a break before heading out again.
I was accompanied by another IMG Nyx.
a) Rebuilding trust - regaining confidence missions
As the system was very calm at that time, we started "regaining trust" and "rebuilding confidence" missions (RTRC missions) in Omega 7. In effect this means that we talked to miners and assured them that the issue of rouge IMG ships is being dealt with and we showed them that we don't mean harm. We spread the word on the problem and encouraged all persons we could find to cooperate with the assigned IMG Patrol pilots.
Conclusion: I think we managed to restore some of the credibility of the IMG by showing our presence and taking visible measures towards a solution, so I'd say this effort was a success.
b) Enemy Encounter: Das Wilde
The patrol ran into two Wilde ships, one gunboat and a bomber. Our Nyxes were outgunned, but we still engaged after a Rhineland large capital vessel closed in. We tried to keep then away from the Rhinelander but were not able to in the light vessels.
The capital ship had to retreat after a while, rendering us competely outgunned. We dragged the fight out a little bit to allow some civilians to get out, then disengaged and returned to Freistadt
Conclusion:
Even if we didn't stand a real chance in the actual fighting, we were able to prove our goodwill towards Rheinland Militär
I can't fly another patrol today because the Nyx still needs some repairs.
Main Mission:
No rouge IMG vessels detected.
Conclusion: Intensifying RTRC missions and patroling for signs of the renegades will lead to an improvement in the situation and the standing of the IMG in Omega 7. Therefore I decided to stay in freistadt instead of returning to Dublin, Hood.
As a consequence the Dublin Assets were assigned an IMG Hydra to keep an eye on things there - confer sightings of renegade IMG vessels in Dublin in this matter.
