' Wrote:The list of smugglers seems to grow day by day,
Two i have seen are "No_shoot_messanger" or something and one just recently, who i stopped once and he appeared to turn back, but i believe, somehow he looped around and made it to the gate, I being stationed and Stokes was unaware until too late, his name was "Arther_Vase", suggesting regarding this person as a wanted smuggler, and fine.
I say, old boy, this Arther_Vase chap did turn up again in a Kusari trade vessel carrying Deuterium bound for Kusari. [QCR]Mark.Mckenna intercepted him and arranged for the Mandalorian MM~Ord'inii to escort him to New London to offload his cargo. He did so eventually, after complaining loudly and trying to evade his escort.
Once we had checked his cargo was gone, he was allowed to depart. Unbelievably, he returned soon afterwards in Dublin heading for the New London jump hole with another illegal load. The Mandalore and I intercepted him and he jumped back and forth between the two systems until he finally halted and surrendered when we detroyed his shields and most of his armour. I ordered him to drop his cargo and we then let him depart to get a very expensive refit of his vessel.
I hope he will see the error of his ways. Somehow I doubt it, but at least we managed to cost him a pretty penny to resume his trading activities. In fact The_Ord'inii even gave him some advice on a potential route or two.
I posted this here so you could see that your reporting does help the effort against smugglers.
You are right, he has not seen the error of his ways, Just now while i was chasing ANOTHER smuggler to the tau31 gate, this fool showed up and docked with the 31 gate without halting, i followed him through and shot his shields off, but then he cruised and my reinforced distrupter failed to halt him.. all while the second smuggler who I had cut off at the gate, turned around and went to the edinburgh hole.. I moved to the tau side of the hole form edinburgh, but it appears he docked somewhere. (name was jackrussel, a highly wanted criminal).
and then, another bloody smuggler showed his head, this time it was the bounty'd Grabbit and run, he was in dublin, But i had given up at this stage, with 3 smugglers and a clunky destroyer absolutely horrible at pursuit, I dont believe i had the capacity to effectively halt any of these smugglers.
I welcome any input on the apt' distrupters, but reinforced and train's seem to fail 3/4 of the time. cruise spam is too much and this ship doesnt gain on the smuggler's well...
WINNEH_THE_PUH .... or something like that... (//retarded MMO names make me sad)
and a fella who for once is smuggling something else, that being Artifacts and the smuggler being Astranomical. he takes them to liberty, and i have alerted them, they seem to know of this fella, but I dont like Corsair goods and i'd rather we stop him here.
Unconfirmed but a trader who was fined before seems to be taking it up again (it being dueterium), Kisaam, i recall BPA being able to fine him once already.

Greetings Gentlemen,
The day started simply.
After a short routine patrol in the system Leeds, I met a GC, Miss Saigo Watanabe.
Back from a visit to magellan, she was looking for a safe way to back home.
I told and lead her a secure way, like any gentleman must do in these situations.
Unfortunately, once alone on Tau 31, she was caught in an ambush by two catamaran bombers of the KNF.
In an attempt to rescue her and to kill the enemy's recon patrol before another agression, an armed contingent composed of The eminent destroyer HMS-Repulse, Mr.Nelson and McKenna of the QCRF, Mr Charles Heydon and his co-pilot, yours truly, was sent in tau 31.
The battle took place near Holman.
The HMS-Repulse,embushed and blocked in the ice was the first to be killed, many crew members perished in the explosion. After it was the turn of Mr. Nelson, hit by an outrageously enemy's lucky shot. Mr McKenna, under heavy fire, hasn't other alternative then retreated. And finally, Mr Heydon and myself, the only target of the enemy, ... thanks to the Bretonian ejection systems !
Later, back in New London, another bomber was waiting for us. Fortunately because already two Corsairs were reported in Cambridge system: the very obstinate Tequila sunrise and an unknown fellow , outlaw man.
So helped by a colleague from the BAF and a S/D, Tequila sunrise was shot over a faith by our guns while his comparse lacked to omega 5, the coward!
Meanwhile, Miss Watanabe, after the recovery a new vessel, took the Okney road, according to my advice, and put it back home without incident. Notes: details of my interactions with Miss Watanabe Saigo and the monetary transfert No: 45863kn5698 are private and no part or explanations will be attached to this report.
Can time rather late, a xenos vessel was discovered and shot in the system of Edinburgh. Any time, the analysis of the wreckage we haven't learned nothing about his origins and even less on his intentions in Bretonia.

Greetings Gentlemen,
I have had the most unpleasant day. It started out by chasing smugglers and suspected smugglers from one end of Bretonia to the other. Lucky I had help in the form of a New member of the BAF. Sadly the smuglers escaped. I then had a quick rest on Battleship Essex. Then things really got irating. A outcast Id ship (The Dark Night or something like that) was dogfighting with a ship that was clearly no civillian but had a civillian Id. Then to my great surpries when the suposed civillian was shot down and instantly arrivied in a brand new ship of the exact same type. I deciede to intervine now as this was out of the ordinary. When I approached the outcast and exchange pleantries and all seemed well until suddenly he said die and opened fire on me, I was quickly destroyed. I warn everyone to watch out for this fellow as i fear he is unstable and may attack any one at any time

Greetings Gentlemen,
*sigh* Only a couple of days ago I was shot down by 2 fighters today it was a Rouge Gunboat in Dublin. I was just patroling around the Essex and then bam he attacked with a member of the 101st watching near by. I have to say he wasn't very good at the whole shooting at me thing as I had depleted his shields significantly in my Hussar. The name of this Rouge was "The Giver" he needs to be add to our Bounty Board asap. He refuesed to pay the 10mil fine.

Subject: demand for new equipment.
Gentlemen,
The SRD wing has demonstrated once again its effectiveness in combating terrorism and elimination enemies capitals vessels.
Corsair gunboat, tag and id adv train, IMG tag and id
But despite the recent creation of the CCD, the activities of smugglers has grown. It is even rarer to see them act duet, which makes use of more sensitive CCD.
We also register with our colleagues in the BAF an increase of corsairs attack in the Cambridge system.
And as you know, they never operate alone without utilisation of the formidable M26 gunboat.
Faced with the growing threat of these invasions and smuggling almost unmanageable alone, I request permission to requisition of heavy equipment from the BAF and a gunboat be made available to BPA (command shared or not, I also leave to the commissioner care to take this decision).
Thus we could face a bigger problem and keep control of many situations without necessarily call the BAF.
While waiting to hear from you, We made you accept, gentlemen members of the commission, the expression of ours feelings respectful.

Evening all,
Well, back on the beat since I have finished my duties on New London. CID had me investigating the theft of a rare species of bald cat from Lady Slocombe's Manor.
It appears a bunch of young ruffians had attempted to kidnap (or catnap, haha) the poor animal and held it for ransom but the creature was easily detected by a robot sniffer unit. In fact Lady Slocombe's pussy was so smelly, a human could smell the thing from a hundred yards.
The scoundrels are in prison now.
And absoultely nothing happened during my routine checkpoint patrol at Manchester by Birmingham Station. I do so enjoy the meet and greet duty. Meadows made me some nice ham sandwiches and a nice refreshing flask of tea.

Afternoon Everone
Today for once I was not shot down in flames. The Luxury Liner "Bad Wolf was smuggling Counterfeit Software through Leeds. I chased him through Leeds into Dublin and thorugh Dublin to Arramore Base where he turned and confronted me. I struggled against him avoiding the fire from arramore, the surrounding Mollys. After I depleted all of my bots and batteries and had lost my shield I fled to Graves. He followed feeling confident now and attempted to kill me while I docked. The repair to be done on my ship was huge and cost quite alot. He then fled to some strange conor of Dublin taunting me. When threatened with a bounty on his head he said that no bounty hunter would there because of his other characters. What ever that means??
Now for the Request, I have discovered that I am frequently I am on the night shift by my self (// aka my timezone has no BPA in it). This means that I am taking on ships of all caliber (up to Gunboat so far) in my hussar. I would like to put in a Request to join the Special Response Division (SRD) as I am in desperate need of some fire power when my Hussars Guns don't even register on Sheilds. This Is why I would like to request admission into the SRD. Also If I am not admitted into SRD could I least be admited into Commerce Control Division as 1/2 the time smugglers are running lose in Bretonia
