nothing much to report tonight, if but I met a man who called himself the ''Hero of Stuttgart'', a certain Herr Richter. I met him while he was going to enter a fight against a Rheinlander Miitary independent agent. The Agent was a though one, and forced me to go deep into my rogue past...
The man fled after a certain time, and I decided to replace my Luggers with Natterturns. I invited Herr Richter to follow me, and we shared small talks about our pasts. After some time, he decided it was time to return to Kaiserslautern, and I escorted him back there.

I see you've met with the Herr Richter. Quite a character if I may say so. Unpredictable in his goings, but quite deadly to confront. A hero of the Stuttgart. That's new. Well, I suppose he's earned that title *chuckles* He has been there in the thick of the battle a lot of times and many times have been the deciding factor in the outcome of the battle.
He's been something of a magic talisman for our younger pilots and as such has gathered a small cult following among Vogtland bar patrons.
But sooner or later if he tries to pull out even more outrageous antics out there, he's gonna get killed. *shakes head*
Meet me 1500 at Vogtland bar and I'll buy you a drink and we can talk more about him and the gut choice you made by giving up past. I happen to know something of letting the past go...
Okay, it's Bastian. Neurath roused me for a patrol of the 47. Casablanca's array had talk of some Corsair cruisers so we thought we'd better investigate all that.
We'd barely started our patrol when we came across two OPG craft in the Melilla. It got hot pretty fast and my adrenaline was pumping. Felt like I was half my age. I managed to down one and Neurath got the other.
We turned back to Casablanca to stock up again and check our ships for damage, when the cruisers we'd heard about pinged our scanners. They pulled back when they saw us, but we knew what had to be done. We tapped shoulders on Casablanca until Major Gryneus started prepping the Jeschke to assist us. With that, and news of Dennis Koppe coming down from the 5, we were ready to set out.
We found them deep in the Walker, by the Fes. It was scrappy: the four of us against the two cruisers and the Fes' gun batteries. Jeschke got a hull breach and had to pull back, but she'd done so much damage that the rest of us could clean up.
We crippled one of the cruisers, whilst the other limped back to the Fes on its last legs.
We pulled back up to Vernheim to finish our patrol, and the rest of it was quiet. After that, the bar became more appealing than the cockpit, and I think I earnt my keep for at least another day.
Still, the corsair presence in this system is stronger than I'd have thought it would be by now.
Quiet patrol yesterday. Only one encounter with a Daumann trader delivering engines to his dear Bretonia. In our brief exchange of pleasantries, I managed to convince him to contribute to our cause and sent him on his way.
Nothing much to report but that I broadcasted on Radio Free crete for a good hour tonight. I was enjoying using our satellite to piss off those Corsairs and demoralize them... they all took the bait.

Reports came to my hand that 'sair presence was noticed between Viernheim base and Casablanca. Because of 'sair tactics to roam around our bases in Omega-47 in capital ships, I took out our finest anti-cap gunboat [RHA]RHGB-Jagdtiger.
After undocking Casablanca, I rushed toward Omega-49 jh in search of unidentified vessel. Soon, a Zoner transport named No.U.Trading came on my radar, full of deuterium. Zoner captain immediatly offered help for our cause in nice sum of credits, something I couldnt refuse in these dire times.
As soon as Zoner left, a 'sair Imperator gunboat named Cpt.Caveman came on my radar. He was preying on traffic coming from O-49. My reasonable offer to for him to leave was met with laughs from 'sair captain, probably because he was sure that his more armored and gunned vessel is superior to our blitz tactics. I blasted him to bits, with pleasure. His pathetic last words to let him leave were ignored.
I won't go too much into details as I'm awfully tired tonight...
Tried to force an Order agent to return back to his hole in the Omicrons. Sadly, the fight was in the Omega-7 gas field, and his bomber's hull was thicker than my Arbeiter's. I forced him to no more hull at all, anymore, so he died shortly after. I was lucky enough to eject
Just when I reach Omega-11 again, I get taunted by an LNS vessel in Hamburg. I quickly asked for backup and we immediatly neutralized them.
Payed a visit to a friend at Freeport 1 selling custom weapons. While passing through Omega 7 on my way back I stumbled across a Republican train getting his cargo ready for the long haul. I went in to investigate which must have made him nervous; he asked my purpose for being in the area. While he wasn't too keen on having to forfeit his cargo or credits, I informed him he was actually wasting more money waiting for me to leave than he would by making a small donation.
Earlier today, as I was introducing Blood Diamonds into Liberty, this odd fellow flying a Thor, and bearing an Outcast IFF transmitter halts me.
He told me that he could care less about Blood Diamond business, and that he wouldn't return the Thor the the RHA, and I'm sure he would have pirated me, if he didn't received a ''Distress Call!''
He told me afterward that he doesn't visit Rheinland too often, so he thinks his acts will be unpunished. I beg you, Red Hessian Army, please do not let him do any more damages!

Ach! That is pretty insolent on the ProjectX's part. Rest assured measures will be taken against him. I'll request from the high command that we put a hit on him. I'm sure either Lane Hackers or Rogues, or even mercs, are willing to do the dirty work on our behalf for a fee. And have the hit be repeatable until he runs out of spare parts for his ship and is forced to change. This would strengthen our trading relations with the Hackers and Rogues.
