Today I have done many rounds in New York and everything was surprisingly quiet. I have spent much of the time in orbit of Manhattan and near West Point scanning incoming ships. I have also escorted a trader who was supplying West Point with weapons from Detroit. Today was a peaceful day indeed.
Patrol started at Planet Manhattan. I set off toward the California system. While en route to the jump gate I was engaged by a group of Rogue. The issue was quickly resolved. While in the California system I came upon a large group of Rogues and fellow officers engaged in battle outside of Planet Mojave. I assisted the other officers and the problem was soon eradicated. I needed to land on Planet Los Angeles for a quick repair and to restock supplies. I began heading back to Planet Manhattan. While en route to Planet Manhattan in the New York system I witnessed a battle occurring between Rogues and members of the Liberty Navy. I inquired as to need for my assistance with no response. The situation was quickly resolved by the Liberty Navy. I proceeded back to Planet Manhattan and ended this short patrol.
---Patrol Report---
Left on first training patrol with Lieutenant Dusentrieb and Officer Guilliani in early evening. Patrolled New York and California Beats. Dealt with one intoxicated pilot who was escorted to Los Angeles for processing by ground crew.
Finished patrol with the Lieutenant at about 10pm GMT and continued to patrol Manhattan solo.
Heard reports of a Liberty Rogue VHF/Bomber on the Westpoint-Cali lane and proceeded to investigate. Reports were completely accurate. The pilot, Marcus Bailey refused to be detained and destroyed my Patriot at about 22:00GMT.
Swum home in escape pod by 22:30.
---Patrol Report---
Patrolled solo for most of the day. Was assisted by Navy gunboats in removing various Rogue, outcast and other elements from New York. Removed a pirate from Colorado at about 21:30GMT with assistance of LN. Chase a LAWL infected outcast from the system at about 21:45. Had a contract taken out against me and was met at Manhattan by Reavers, who destroyed my Liberator at about 22:00GMT.
Swum home in escape pod by 22:30.

Patrol started as usual near Manhattan, where I met Officer Reynolds. After checking New York we then headed to scan and secure the other systems, one by one.We encounter several ships which we thoroughly investigated but not worth mentioning in this report.
However upon returning to Manhattan there was a pirate freighter stationed in orbit of the planed, carrying a freelancer ID. I fined it 1000000 C and we escorted it out of the system. I transfered the credits to Leavenworth.
Intercepted a Rheinland VHF in the hands of a freelancer: L._McDouglas
Finally complied with stop demand and was requested to dispose of the offending ship immediately. (//New player, now educated)
The ship complied with the halt demand and I informed the captain that his ship was not permitted in Liberty House Space. However, the captain did not respond. A few moments later, his sheild dropped and we detected that all lifesigns on the vessel had ceased. Approx 1500 presumably Gallic passengers + crew were killed instantly by an unknown cause.
The hulk was detonated by 7th fleet ship Daedalus to clear the trade lane.
Intercepted Freelancer IFF'd ship "Crete.Souveniers", carrying a strange combination of Artifacts AND Cardamine http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a262/C...70b75c.png
He failed to stop and made good his escape. Backup would have prevented his loss.

Today's patrol was surprisingly quiet.
As I was doing a quick patrol through Colorado, I ran into a small group of ships from the 41st task force of the Liberty Navy, who reported seeing a freelancer flying a Liberty BDR-804 Guardian. Apparently, he did not respond to them when they attempted to find out if he had authorization to fly this particular ship.
Not long thereafter, I ran into the freelancer - going by the callsign "Murmel" - near Fort Bush [See evidence: 1]. He seemed to be unaware of our laws regarding the ownership of Liberty Navy vessels. I told him that he had to either purchase a new - civilian - ship, or enlist in the Liberty Navy. He chose to enlist, and I escorted him to Battleship Missouri. It seems that he was promptly accepted, as when he undocked he was sporting Liberty Navy identification papers [See evidence: 2].

Harper here,
Haven't been around to submit anything for a while, but I did enjoy my christmas holidays, thanks for askin'.
My first day back in space wasn't quite a piece o' cake though, not exactly... I was lucky enough to run into a whole bunch of these pirate scumbags, who made it a lot harder than it shoulda been.
I know you want the details, so I'll start off with a list of all the ones I found sitting around at the California gate in New York... and 'bout three of these only joined in later.
Well, sadly they weren't so interested in payin' their fines for piracy, not to mention getting arrested for assault, so I decided to do it the hard way and opened fire on 'em. Now, I'll tell ye it ain't easy dodging with at least five of 'em on your arse constantly, but I did manage to poke a few holes in their bombers when they were gettin' careless.
Backup from the secondary fleet was rarely more useful than firecrackers, a siege cruiser did manage to take out one pirate though before going down in a massive fireball... By the time they started robbin' bypassing ships for nanobots, and a junker in one of these fat gunboats felt the need to shoot at me too, I got a little tired of the whole charade and dodged my way back to West Point.
Turned out to be an hour overall and felt like two, I managed to slip away towards Pennsylvania, where I got some direly needed repairs and a good cup o' Sunbucks coffee. Of course, I couldn't just let 'em go like that, so I returned to West Point....
I found about three of 'em left there, fighting a lone Reaver... I'm no fan o' these, but as long as she didn't shoot me, I'll tell ye I was pretty happy to get some fire support against these muppets. One of 'em, 'Suncica' was actually crazy enough to turn himself into toast in the sun after he had all his equipment trashed... fits the name at least, I s'pose. Finally, I chased down and destroyed the last one I could find, VoPol, in California's northern asteroid field.
I'll be signing off for today,
Douglas Harper
P.S: Judging by their behaviour, fightin' and err... English, it wouldn't surprise me if these came straight from some training camp for Indians.
ID: Sergeant John Aryn. Current Location: Fort Bush. Priority: Low. Subject: Patrol report.
Patrolled area would be New York. The Raven's Wing ships took tonight's patrol.
One single report for a hostile cruiser, which later retreated upon police arrival.
No other activity, every zone was clear.
Aryn signing off.
