Unless you insist, there is no need to transfer the payment to any TBH account. Supporting the Artifact Trade is one of our major goals and we don't do it for credits. We do it for the Corsairs, because after delivering and selling our product, most of traders come back with valuable resources needed at Crete even though the profit isn't that amazing.
We appreciate such effort and our way of saying thanks is the said free ecorting service.
Feel free to ask us for help anytime you need it

Thanks for your fast reply. I appreciate your offer. If there is nothing against, i will make contact to all three named brothers to give them a donation personally. In addition, i hope my, well, let me say negotiations with Junkers on Trafalgar and Yanagi will be successful. If so, we can expect a better price for artifacts there in the future. (ooc//hope Igiss will increase them in the next version. Atm they are a bad joke)
Huarez out
Edit: Spent all three of them a donation as my honour was demanding.

Hola brothers, elders, and centurions! Today was another successful day for me. Early in the day I found my self adrift in the Alpha system. As I started my systems and began to leave three outcasts intercepted me. A bomber, a fighter, and a cruiser. I decided I would engage. To my suprise the bomber had almost no hull. I found out later they had been training. Anyway, after a short fight the bomber was destroyed by a mine. Soon after the fighter followed, again the my mine. I then ran as another fighter was inbound and I had sustained heavy damage from the cruiser.
Later in the day I encountered a bounty hunter battlecruiser, Texman in sigma-13. As I engaged two kiretsu fighters arrived and assisted me in the destruction of the battlecruiser. As soon as it was destroyed however I engaged the duo. I destroyed one via blowing up the pilot's mine with my guns. The second was more difficult. Soon I found all my guns gone, and I was forced to retreat to gamma.
Hola Hombres,
Today (OOC at about 10pm GMT) there was a succesful hacking atempt to Crete's DB.
The hacker - [HACKER]Sans.Seraph accessed the DB using Elder.Montoya's user and downloaded data on something named "Cylon".
We tried to intercept the connection but with no luck.
Our attempt to chase the hacker also didn't come out well as he escaped to Omnicron Alpha and outcast presance was intense and we had to pull back.

What?! My user?
These hackers might force me to store everything on a pad of paper! Its times like these that I wish I had expertise in computer science, but alas, nothing of the sort has crossed my mind.
This, this character, whomever he may be, is now my personal target. I am aware that he flies a gunboat, last I checked, so I shall take out a bomber or perhaps the minotaur for a little spin in his direction.
It obviously doesn't help that my user is almost constantly logged on...

Today i had launched my transport for another Artifact transportation. In orbit i met senor Zavier Benitez, so we had a small conversation. After a while he left the system. Not long after he left, an LSF Raven Claw, callsign "Subtl" showed up and blamed Corsairs for attacking Liberty. I was sending a distress call to all friendly ships, but got no response. So i ordered to prepare my fighter. I moved my transport back to crete and jumped in my fighter.
I'm primary a transport pilot with average fighter skills. Though been aware to be chanceless with my Centurion against a Raven Claw i engaged this enemy. I was able to cram one of his own torpedos in its mouth by launching a CD right in time. Nevertheless he destroyed my ship with another torpedo, when my shield was down.
He was not interested in captatives, so i used my capsule emergency thrusters to get closer to crete.
He was so kind to send me some datas to my small capsule data recorder about this raid by Corsairs in NY. One Osiris accompanied by an TBH Gunboat. He said his attack was the revenge for. Later Tripoli reported some damages on the yard this ship had caused by dropping mines.
What the hell is going on? Some of TBH members making a nice day while leaving our home defenseless.
They don't care what does happen to our home, rather going for a trip to NY. Not enough, the only defense, senor Zavier Benitez left. Me as a primary trader and some training wings (NPC's) were the only defense, while other independent corsairs were running around with their heads in their hand as soon as this LSF vessel showed up.
Fortunatly for me, i was not harmed, but my fighter is gone. The fighter of my father and his father.
Tripoli has reported, the only available replacement for the next time will be an dusty Arwing they stored in Leon. I'm angry, no, i'm furious.
Oh, btw, 5000 tourists are crawling around on crete, demanding only the best service and food, while searching for artifacts.
Why? A trader, callsign "TSpitfire-ExpreSST" has brought them, when no defenses were positioned in orbit of crete once more.
I will not imagine what may happened, if a OC or SCRA strike force had entered the system.

Hola hermanos and hermanas. Today a great victory was won in Sigma-13. As usual we were all going about our duties in Omicron Gamma when a distress call was sent out by some independant corsairs in Sigma-13. I hopped in my fighter, who was stationed at sigma-13. As I did this both of the independant pilots were destroyed. Named Sinistre and Phaedrus_Zeta. But before I could even go for their escape pods I was engaged by 2 mandalorians a [202]nd outcast fighter and a kiretsu fighter. Due to poor communication Ivan Voronov and the other corsairs were just now starting under way to sigma-13. I held on as long as I could dodging in and out. Finally back up arrived. Ivan.Voronov in his raven's talon, julio.ibanez in his titan and elder lucendez (not sure what he was flying). We all engaged but despite our efforts, lucendez's ship was destroyed due to the fact he had no bots or batts. Soon we found ourselves out manned. We called for Archangel, an order battleship stationed at crete. Once he arrived the tides turned. A new contact, gunslinger showed up on scanners. He was a bounty hunter in a BH bomber. He was quickly destroyed by concentrated fire from the archangels gunners. Julio successfully landed a sunslayer hit on the 202 fighter. Destroying it instantly. Later I got a successful mini razor hit on ranov'la of the mandalorians. And shortly after I destroyed the other mandalorian, dha.piruna with a nuclear mine. The kiretsu fighter went evasive and we disengaged. By the end of this battle I had no wings left.
But the unsung hero of this battle was Ivan.Voronov. He saved my hide by providing bots and batts for me. Also archangel the order battleship won the battle with his suppresive fire.
Viva Los Corsairs and may many more victories come!

The day started out well. I flew my new Praetorian on a patrol run throughout the System and even into some of the connecting systems of Iota and the wasteland system. Returning to Yaren to rest I was greeted by two Nomad Battleship class squadrons (NPC).
I successfully engaged the Nomads with the gunners at the nearby base's help. The gunboats and fighters fell quickly to my Supernova. The Battleship proved tough though, but I was slowly whittling it's hull away when the Keepers showed up. Keeper Taurvi and Natura were both in gunboats. I attempted to engage the two keepers, but with more (NPC) Battleships showing up, and their almost scary amount of teamwork in evading my shots and hitting me, my Praetorian cracked.
I am currently on the nearby planet waiting by my escape pod for a rescue shuttle to come pick me up. I must warn you all, don't take the Keepers presence lightly, and don't underestimate them. They have quite the arsenal at their disposal. I may be humbled but I will not forgive, nor avoid them.
Viva los Corsairs!

"The thirteen saloons that had lined the one street of Seney had not left a trace. The foundations of the Mansion House hotel stuck up above the ground. The stone was chipped and split by the fire. It was all that was left of the town of Seney. Even the surface had been burned off the ground.
Nick looked at the burned-over stretch of hillside, where he had expected to find the scattered houses of the town and then walked down the railroad track to the bridge over the river. The river was there."
"you may be interested in that far distance visual shot i took not long ago - it shows the keepers battleship harbinger at extremely close range to the corsair outpost Yaren base. Since my ship has not the power to even dent the keepers shields. i was not going any closer, so i cannot guess about its intentions.
