Good afternoon colleges. . Yesterday my patrol was quite interesting and I find it hard to begin with.From pirate purging to Hamburg raids. Well I will start from some were *laughs*. Upon launching from Baker base in Manhattan I received a comm from the Admiral about a situation in California and guess were. Yeah thats right New York Gate->Planet Mojave Lane. On site I saw several pirate gunboats and fighters what appeared to be playing cards while they wait for some poor transport and get it. Well we give them a few warnings to leave the area but they din't comply.
The Majority of our forces arrived we engaged the enemy. Most of them scattered once we engaged but some remained. The Forces that remained were 2 Spatials and 1 Sabre. For some reason the Spatials shoot at each other. After they both managed to get their guns off. We destroyed their ships. But on the return voyage the same group that escaped came and locked down the lane to Los Angeles We moved in and destroyed em. Myself and the Admiral chased a Bomber all the way to the Ontario Hole but it din't managed to escape, bomber pilot was shot down.
And one outcast captured, We send Tia to escort him to Sugerland. But it was not long before she was ambushed by some pirates in Texas in hoping of retrieving their friend. And some one interesting came the captain of the MNS-Rosario came. We called in some of the Assaults and destroyed the Pirate force the Captured pilot ship was destroyed but he ejected before he can sense the coldness of space.
After we regrouped we decided to annoy the Rheinlanders the Admiral decided to call in the Assaults to and make a small attack. Our force was composed of 3 gunboats,5 fighters,and 1 Bomber. The rheinlander fast response fleet was overwhelmed. We destroyed several bombers,fighters and 2 gunboats. When the Rheinland Fleet started to show up. The Admiral called the retreat all forces returned to safety in Texas.
Today, or rather, tonight was quite a hectic night. We received reports about some pirates bugging the California lane again, so we flew out to see just what the hell is going on. Immediately after getting there, the "fool force" that consisted of a few bombers, gunboats and fighters, opened fire on us. After a few minutes of duking it out, the enemy was successfully destroyed. Though, we didnt have time for a quick rest. We immediately changed course and headed towards the Colorado system.
The system was swarming with Indians again. Surprise surprise, eh? Well, this time they had a larger force than last time, around six identified ships. We took almost all of them out with the help of the LNS-Kapi. Two Indians managed to get away by running to the nearby Kepler system.
While flying back to finally get some rest the group received a report from California about -another- pirate. This time, a Rogue Barghest bomber. I flew out to California in an attempt to eliminate the threat. I must say, he put up some resistance, and he didnt appear to be quite as braindead as the rest of them. However, my attempt was successful and the threat was removed. I finally got back to West Point to refit my ship and get some rest.

Matt looks rather pleased with himself.
Sirs,
I responded to a call to head out into Manhattan orbit where an Outcast gunship, a HF fighter, Chenzo from the 101st and a random Joker's Thug were all facing our forces. Initially I was in a bomber, however I quickly changed to my fighter and the pirate force was taken down with ease.. The kill shot on the Joker's thug was a mixture between my MR and Gold-19s MR. Both hit at the same time.
Then I had to deal with a couple of idiot's from the CoM, which I have recently learned is the Cartel of Malta. They are extremely rude, disrespectful to Navy Officers and will continuously claim to be civilian even when flying pirate vessels!
All were obliterated. I care not.

Started patrol from Planet Manhattan, the planets orbit had been relatively quiet, and then I was informed of a situation around Norfolk involving those Indian pirates by Amanda Feller of the reserves. I made my way to WestPoint and then to Norfolk by which time they had fled North.
Radioing for back up the Siege Cruiser LNS-Little.Bighorn and the fleet admiral himself in the gunboat [LN]-LNS-Cape.Horn answered the call. Receiving another tip off as to their location now at the Colorado Jump gate, I made my way there to stall them as best I could, however the Indians were already in a fight with 2 EDGE| Bounty Hunters, the usual 5 v 2 that they need in order to hit maybe a few times per minute.
I engaged in my usual support role, harassing one of the fighters 'The Wappinger' it in order to take the heat off the EDGE ships until the main cavalry arrived, once it did they scattered in all directions, I shadowed the Wappinger continuously keeping him on his toes with the Fleet admiral close behind in the Cape Horn.
Eventually we reached the Colorado Jump hole and a new Indian fighter hit my scanner 'The Mohican', attempting to cover The Wappinger's escape engaged my ship, I broke off and fought with the Mohican, a Joker's-thug appeared from the jump hole, but I'm not sure it realised the intensity of the attack it was about to face.
I was a little surprised at the shockingly poor accuracy of the Mohican; his shield was down almost continuously throughout the fight. On a pass with my ship he ate one of my mines and his own mine discharged in the explosion simultaneously, vaporising him instantly.
The Wappinger and Thug fled into Colorado, the Indian was long gone by the time we jumped after Mimmey but the cruiser Little Big horn dispatched the thug's Tridente gunship with little remorse.
After all the festivities we were ordered to move to California to find an [XTF] Slave liner vessel, upon arrival at LA I spotted a Pirate Roc bomber, he didn't seem to have anything to say about flying in front of the planet with police and military vessels swarming firing everything they could at him, so I didn't think he would have anything to say about me taking him to Sugarland for obviously being a little dense upstairs.
After a little sortie he was brought down, my ship suffered damage from the suns corona as he tried to escape from me, a few CD's sealed his fate in the suns warm embrace.
After that we covered the system and blocked all jump holes and jump gates and waited, then realising the target had slipped by us we returned to New York, upon heading to New York I received a tip off about pirate gunboats on the lane to Norfolk from WestPoint. The Admiral ordered all ships to RV at WestPoint, we were joined by another Liberty Gunboat, LNS-Storm-Assault13.
The hostile ships were engaged and destroyed while Mimmey attempted to flee into the sun, the Fleet Admiral followed in the Cape Horn, we seemed to have enough ships to fight the fight well enough, so I cruised round to the Manhattan side of the sun to intercept Mimmey incase he tried to escape.
The Admirals ship had heavy damage and was warped out of shape due to the suns heat, he headed to Fort Bush for repairs and I returned to Riverside Station on call incase im needed.
I would also like to put forward my name for promotion to Ensign.

Greetings fellow agents
First report here.
Did some exploration, set my executioner up and gained respect of the Naval Force Guards. Did some scans, got a Bretonian Transport having some 20 Artifacts onboard, but nothing special happened. Cargo confiscated, fined, continued. Nothing noteable happened, and returned to Radford station for training purposes.

Dear Members of the Primary and Secondary Fleets of Liberty; To Liberty Lawfuls
The increasing amount of criminal activity within Liberty requires a consistent effort from law enforcement and fleet vessels in documenting, categorising and informing the public and the Liberty Fleet of their criminal enterprise. This collaboration should occur between primary and secondary fleets and Liberty Lawfuls in order to make criminal identification fast and easy so as to make interception effective and long lasting. For Example: Suspect A is seen in New York, Navy Captain B knows Suspect A is a fugitive and takes appropriate action.
The LPI was requested a month or so ago to create a LPI Criminal Database and we have spent quite alot of time in creating it, and ensuring protocols are in place for it to be up to date and contemporary, reflecting the continually changing situation within Liberty.
As one of the creators of the Database I am really excited in its application to Law Enforcement and the tracking of criminals within Liberty. As you can see, this includes the tracking of Embargo Breakers and other such criminals of relatively serious importance. I encourage that all pilots post a report if they see a crime being committed, or a victim of a crime. Eventually it is of interest that with this knowledge, when Liberty lawfuls are on patrol they can quickly identify wanted fugitives and commence interception.
To ensure an updated and consistent Database, every month a suspect's criminal status will be reviewed. This will make sure individuals do not clutter the Database that are no longer relevant. Furthermore, the more reports that come in the more statistics are collated, leading to useful statistics that Liberty may use against criminal organisations: For example, which criminal organisation committed most of the crimes.
In practice, this can then be published to all Liberty lawfuls to see the situation in Liberty. A Liberty Most Wanted list can also then be created on the most high risk and dangerous criminals that are operating in Liberty, making that criminal known to everyone.
In conclusion, this kind of approach is needed and hence I encourage all pilots to become involved in filing criminals in this Database. I hope you join myself and the LPI in creating a fantastic database that can be a wonderful resource for Liberty Fleets, and all Liberty Lawfuls as a whole. The more effort Liberty forces put into it, the more positive and constructive the outcome will be.
Today there was some fuss around Norfolk. It seemed that some stupid Order force decided to invade New York in an attempt to.... well, I dont really know what they intended to do except get destroyed. And, thats what happened really. The only one left from their "fleet" was a lonely Fighter that refused to act like a man and die in a duel. Which is why he still died, but like a coward.

First report here, hopefully not in the wrong format.
Finished getting the proper papers for the Liberty Navy Guard, and required flight time for promotion,
verification is attached.
After that, I went to do some patrolling, which was uneventful till I came across a Rheinland Armored transport(callsign tramper)
carrying superconductors towards the border. When I questioned him on why he had a Rheinland transport, he said he would "blow my military vehicle up to the stars"
and tried to cruise away. After I cruise disrupted him he opened fire on my vessel. LNS-Assault1 saw this and proceeded to assist me engaging the vessel,
who then turned around and made a break for Norfolk shipyard. Sadly, he was able to dock, and shut off his communications(//Logged out).
Attached are guncam photos of his hostility towards me and proof of him docking on Norfolk.

Greetings dear Admirals
After my first patrol today (see my recent transmission), I did some more training at Radford Training base, where I learned more about my little ship here, and learned the rules and commands by heart.
I would love to throw my full potential into service of the Naval Forces as an Ensign.
You will find a guncam-pic as attachment to this transmission, which proofs my loyalty to the Liberty Navy and my finished 8-hours-training-program.
Signed,
