I'm reporting about my patrol. At the beginning it was supposed to be a simple Frankfurt-Hamburg patrol.
It was silent until I have met a trader near Hamburg Jump gate who was carrying tons of engine components.
He told me that he's going to New Tokyo. I wanted to make sure that he's not delivering them to the liberty so
I told him to go to Kusari other way. I escorted him to the Sigma-13 jump gate. I have then docked on Fulda Border Station to make a report about my patrol.

I was patrolling Omega-7 with Flieger Engelhard und Flieger Nikolas when we happened across three RH members. We quickly became outnumbered but managed to destroy two of them before the [RHA] primary operations group attacked us with superior numbers, forcing a retreat back to Stuttgart.
Afterwards, the Fliegers went offshift. I then started a patrol around New Berlin to secure the system from certain smugglers that had been reported in the area. I found one, who spoke a weird dialect of Libertonian mixed with old Slavic. I promptly destroyed his ship.
That is all that happened, later myself und Major Harkonnen went on a patrol around the greater Rheinland areas and found nothing of interest.

Guten Tag.
Here is my today's patrol report.
This is the whole route of it:
The whole route was very silent and even pleasant. At first I've met a Kruger Colossus which wasn't carrying any cargo:
Then at the Essen I encountered 3 ships:
1. Edison_Jonsson , Daumann Heavy Construction advanced train carrying uncut diamonds , nothing suspicious.
2. Bro-BrownMan , a Bounty Hunter gunboat class ship. Probably the escort of the Edison_Jonsson. Nothing suspicious at all.
3. RepEx-Shipping|161 , Republican Shipping "Behemoth" transport. No cargo , so nothing to suspect.
Then the last person I've met on my route was RFP|SEK-Wraith.43 Military pilot. At the end of the patrol route I was stationing in the Planet New Berlin area for some time. Then I've docked to "The Ring" station.
These are the other camera shots taken during patrol:

Hello sirs and or ma'ams.
I was offered to be the Navigational Officer aboard the RNC-Wallenhorst.
I accepted, and much to my surprised, we left to Texas instantly. As it turned out,
we were setting an ambush for Liberty forces with several Die Unterseebootsflottille
at the New York gate in the Texas system. Soon, I set course for the gate from
above, and landed the Wallenhorst right next to a Dreadnought, Siege Cruiser,
and Assault Battlecruiser. Through superior firepower, we quickly blasted the
Dreadnought to smithereens, along with the Battlecruiser and Siege Cruiser.
Soon after, we departed to provide as a cover for the Unterseebootsflottille
to make their escape. That is all, Flieger Amsel out.

Since I have been busy with patrol duties and some planet-side paperwork, this is the delayed report from a patrol that took place a few days ago.
While doing a regular routine inspection of core Rheinland systems, I stumbled on a Freelancer that somehow got into possession of a Rheinland Super Heavy Fighter, but, that is not all unfortunately. Not only did he steal one of our ships, which I concluded to be the case after he did not respond to my questions numerous times, but he somehow also managed to get a hold of Libertonian manufactured guns.
Since the Freelancer ignored my demands to explain himself numerous times, as mentioned before, I engaged and successfully eliminated him.

During my third patrol, it lead me from New Berlin - Frankfurt - Munich. Reports from Fleiger Heinz Hardt were that a Pirate Transport was barricading the Munich Jump Gate. I was the first one to move in.
Upon arrival the reports were accurate, Black.Throne was on my scanners. Ship Scan 001
With no other units within radius, I took charge of the situation, and that the transport was to halt it's engines for a cargo sweep, it failed at the first hurdle. Continuing to thrust into deep space, upon after several warnings, I opened a warning shot across it's shields, it returned with great fire power than I first thought. The battle raged on, making each shot, and pass as accurate and effective as the other.
Finally units moved into Munich, and took a while to find my transponder, due to the transport leading into the void of Munich. RNC_Victoria_Luise was the first, and only vessel to pick up my transponder. a Rheinland Cruiser, not a vessel I wanted to involve in this little conflict, I asked the captaine to remain calm, and do not open fire unless asked by myself. The captaine complied.
The noted vessel has broken the following laws: §2.2.3.Equipment and ships that belong to terrorist groups and criminal organisations such as Red Hessians, Corsairs, Bundschuh, Landwirtrechtbewegung or Unioners.
§2.3.3.1.Any person suspected for piracy or attempts to piracy or in performing acts of terror is to be put under arrest.
§2.4.1.Violation of orders given by law-enforcement authorities' representatives.
The penalty he received was the destruction of his ship. Destruction 001
Today was a glorious day for the Rheinwehr and the Vaterland. We managed to destroy an Osiris class battleship, a gunboat and a Mafic, all flying under the flag of the pirate scum that calls themselves the corsairs.
At first Herr Major Harkonnen rallied available piloten to deal with a single gunboat roaming in the Omega-7 system. The threat was quickly taken care off by our two Bergelmir light bombers, one flown by Herrn Feldwebel Kaufmann the other by me. The Herr Feldwebel took the final shot, which punched right through the hull of the vessel and separated it in two parts.

Our forces gathered at the Schlachtschiff Karlsruhe in Stuttgart after the battle to restock and conduct repairs. The Major left at this point, leaving Hauptmann Landers in charge, with orders to conduct a patrol in the Vaterland. However, we received word that more corsairs were spotted in Omega-7. Maybe they wanted revenge for their Kameraden on board of the gunboat or maybe they just thought they could walk all over us, in the end they got to know why the Rheinwehr is called the Kanzlers Hammer.
Back in Omega-7 we encountered them near Freistadt, it was a group consisting of the aforementioned Osiris class vessel and an escort. The escort fled, leaving the Osiris as easy prey for the Forseti, which arrived just in time. Worth mentioning is that the Forseti was able to tractor a set of battleship turrets from the destroyed Osiris, they seem to have been in the cargohold of the vessel and survived the final explosion.
After this success we wanted to move back, but Fähnrich Schmitt discovered a Mafic flown by a corsair at the jump gate to Stuttgart. It was taken out quickly and all our forces moved back into the Vaterland safely, no losses during the engagements.

Oberkommando,
Yesterday was a quite busy day in the Omega 7 system. We met with several corsail vessels in the area. The members of my wing have already written their report, so I make it fast. We were able to destroy 3 corsair gunboats, a corsair miner and an Osiris class battleship. There were some fighters as well, but they fled.

SUBJECT: Review of Flieger Heinz Hardt / Patrol Report
To: High Command,
Today is an interesting day, coming onto active duty today I encounter Flieger Heinz Hardt within the Bering Hudson zone. Questioning him I called him back and we formed up for a patrol. Several polizie Units passed us and investigated and helped escort a trader carrying plutonium to Liberty back to planet Hamburg and unload.
Once free of the task we moved to toward the Frankfurt system encountering a single trader that refused to halt upon orders and we proceeded to chase the trader through Rheinland into Sigma 13. After more hauls for him to stop we disrupted him and he proceeded to attack Flieger Hardt. Ordering his termination we dogged the transport all the way to station Helgoland where its destruction was completed, the scrap joining the rest littering the system.
We captured what Neon we could and destroyed the rest, we had no idea why he refused to respond but his cargo was captured and the remainder destroyed for running from Rheinland Forces.
Entering Frankfurt the RFP sent a distress call about a Red Hessian Army vessel and a single Unioner ship. Responding we arrived in system to find both sides engaged, after assessing the situation our forces joined into the fray, Flieger Hardt was attacked by both the Hessian and Unioner. Even through my best efforts the Flieger was forced to eject.
Even without backup I continued on in the fight, finaly taking down the Hessian vessel and turning my attention to the Unioner. I was soon forced to eject though as another Unioner appeared ending the fight for me.

Review of Flieger Hardt,
After coming across Flieger Hardt and rejoining with him I began to watch him as we patrolled and fought. He is very studious and yields to more senior leadership. I feel his dog fighting skills though seem lacking a bit. He fights hard but his skills can be honed a bit. Overall I would consider him studious and a apt learner as he adjusted well during the fight and fought hard.

Flieger Heinz Hardt reporting in,
yesterday i had the privileg to join Feldwebel Alaric Kaufmann on his patrol, starting at Hudson Gate, Hamburg.
Report:
Right infront of the Gate we supported Rheinland Police RFP|Obt.Renate.Bommel and RFP|Pdt.Hans.Regenkurt who cought a smuggling/embargo violating Firefly Transport with comm id "GreenKnight". We only assisted in securing and escorting the smuggler to planet Hamburg where we left then.
Next Feldwebel Alaric Kaufmann decided to patrol to Sigma 17 and scout there. The Feldwebel took a route tru the upper jumphole to Frankfurt, in Hamburg.
Right when we arrived in Frankfurt we saw a Border Worlds Transport, comm id "Spock" (see guncam shots), flying outside the usual Traffic in free space. Feldwebel Alaric Kaufmann emidiatly ordered the vessel to stop but the vessel ignored all order and so we went to intercept it. The vessel flew straight towards and tru the Sigma 13 Jumphole. In Sigma 13 we came in Range to fire Cruisdisruptors and managed to brake its cruise but the vessel still did not comply with orders to stop. Because the vessel tried to escape, ignoring all orders, we fired some warning shots but it kept trying to flee and than even started to shoot back at us. I was orderd to engage with all force and we kept firing at it and evading the heavy counterfire till the vessel was destroyed by Feldwebel Alaric Kaufmann. The Feldweble then inspected the remains for any signs of further criminal evidence but didnt find anything worth mentioning.
Just when we wanted to continue our scouting a report came in about multiple criminal Vessels active in Hamburg. Feldwebel Alaric Kaufmann decided to head to there emidiatly so we made it to the gate to Frankfurt and tru. We refitted our vessels at Fulda Border station and took the shortest way back tru the jumphole to Hamburg. In Hamburg we managed to find the criminals, who where already bound in a fight with Rheinland Forces near the Jumpgate to New Berlin.
I stood by, ordered so by my Feldwebel out of "fairness", as he pointed out, but emidiatly took this opportunity to gather intel on the enemy vessels (see scanncam shots). It didnt take long and i was orderd to jump into the fight.
The first thing i noticed was that it is very difficult to pick out the right enemy while 5 other fighters engaging eachother (and me) closely around me. I managed to sort one out for my guns and was even able to drain my enemy`s shield completely multiple times and his hull once almost completly so he had to use a good part of his bots in emergency. Nevertheless, unfortunatly i found myself double outclassed, to some degree in the special weapons used by the enemy and very dominantly in the exeptional maneuverability of the Serie Z Sabre`s vessels used by our enemy`s. So as my counterpart once, i had to use bots more often, slowly draining my reserves till nothing was left. Then it took another minute or two, im not shure, i lost track of time in the fight, and i lost more and more hull untill my vessel was destroyed.
Resume:
My first partol was a very intense lesson for me! Not only did i learn allot about the enemy vessels but, what almost stunned me as disguised reality, i found thouse criminal individuals, who tell every traders they rob how very poor they are and that theyr children are starving, in contrast to theyr cheap propaganda are superrich collectors, who fit out theyr vessels only with the finest of weapon and equipment that money can buy and even beyond that!
