A very strange situation has just occured. During patrol cycles, i found a ship broadcasting a Molly IFF, in the West Point ---> California JumpGate trade lane. The ship callsign was "Comacchio". After closing into scan range, something even more strange happened. He was identified as Generic Pirate by his ID code, but flying what was, at least externally, resembling a GBH3 "Orca" Gunboat. Considering how close to them the Bounty Hunters keep their ship series, this has to be some kind of steal or salvage.
The ship was engaged in that lane, and almost killed, but managed to take the jumpgate to california. There, in mojave, "Solarpuppy" in his transport disrupted the lane the hostile was going to take, effectively inmobilizing him for long enough to me to reach his location. In a few more seconds, the pirate Comacchio was destroyed.
I will try to inform the Bounty Hunters Guild about what one of their ships has been used to. Hopefully, that will help them get track of possible ships of same series stolen. If one could be grabbed from them, more could have followed.

Subject: Ship Change
After the taking the annual physical examination on Richmond HQ, M.E.s have diagnosed me with acute palsy. My hands seem to be getting too shaky at the controls, lessening my ability to shoot straight. When asked how I could compensate, they suggested ship change and/or increase firepower. Thus, I am now flying a Raven Claw assault craft. Expenses have been covered by my personal fund. If high command wishes me to remain in the Avenger or Guardian I'll switch back gladly.

Pilot, first off, you have not requested that your ship be changed and second off, you are not allowed to use the Raven Claw, therefore the High Command expects you to change the ship back to an Avenger or Guardian immediately. Also, do not attempt to do such things without requesting permission first, its unhealthy for your career.

RE: Ship Change
Aye sir, orders received. I prioritize the career health far above my personal health. Rest assured this will not happen again. In addition to this, I will be restricting my movement to the capital lass ships since I'm too shaky in smaller vessels.

//OCC : I moved from my flat and I don't have a connection in my new flat. I'll try to get one as soon as possible. I can only go in internet cafe to check the news in forum.
I have recently managed to get my hands on some evidence of a Bounty Hunter (BH) in possession of a Liberty Assault BattleCruiser. Document attached below. I hope to hand this off to whom ever will be in charge of rectifying this situation.

During the set-up phase of my ship i received a hail from one [Wellington]Weaponry mentioning the presence of a Rheinland Cruiser in the Texas system.
My ship's scans of the Texas system confirmed this.
Due to the fact that no other Navy pilots were active at the time, i decided to go and investigate. However, half-way to Texas from Planet Manhattan my ship's scans detected it had moved onto the Bering system and then on towards Hamburg.
Perhaps this was to scout out our tactical capabilities? Regardless, i wished to make sure High Command was aware of this incursion into our space.
Oh and by the by, my ship is roughly 70% equipped at this time.
