Today I made a patrol run around some chokepoints. Found several ships at freeport one, amongst others including: some BAF fighter ships, a few miners, Joker's Trident.
Too many people we around and so I went on, I don't like this kind of attention, so I moved on. I went to freeport nine where I found several "Neo-Terran Front" ships. After a short introduction some confused pilot with a Military transponder attacked me. I warned him, he wouldn't respond and continued engaging me. Two jousts were enough for him to go down, obviously.
Afterwards I talked some more to the LSF renegades. It seems they have plans of building an operational ship yard in 2 years. They plan to build a sleeper ship and once more imitate history.
Furthermore I hear nomads are edible, and also a great delicasy in some Libertonian circles. All these years we look for food and it is coming right to us on a blue platter.
After the talks I showed them the jumphole to sigma 17 and warned them about coming back.
Today me, Valencia and 2 other Corsairs were on a patrol around Omega 5. We met an Order gunboat at first. The commander was rather stubborn about staying where he is, but after we explained to him why he is not welcome, he left. "Hunting Wilde." Pheh! Like stupido aliens are swarming the place.
Well, afterward we decided to pay a visit to Omega 7. We were flying around Freistadt, when an Argus class cruiser showed up, trying to push us around. We explained to him that we don't like taking orders.
Hopefully, the whole IMG society will get the message, since they are starting to grow horns lately.
After we managed to get rid of this nuisance, we stood still and Valencia started fantasizing about dragging the Argus wreck back to Gamma. Out of the blue, a Pytho bomber showed up and without any warning whatsoever took down one of our companions. Backstabbing bastards! And they talk to us about honor! He was a coward as well. When he lost too many nanites he docked to get new ones and - strangely enough - undocked within a few seconds, completely repaired and restocked on equipment. We dispatched of him as well. Valencia's ship was badly damaged during the process. Hm.. Light Fighters.
Well, my transport took a decent beating today, Guess I will have to use the Correo for a few days.
But to sooner events; I first took my transport to Omega 7. Since the comms were buzzing with activity and I was alone, in a transport, I decided to go into hiding, I flew above Freistadt, out of scanner range and into the northern mining fields. There I found two IMG ships. A transport, and a miner.
Neither of them was exactly full, so I took what I could and got moving into Omega 3. There I managed to acquire some superconductors from the trains moving through the area. All and all I'd call it a good start.
Cargo manifest when returning looked as follows:
Ore was sold to our mercenary friend and the Superconductors headed to Tripoli as usual. After docking at Tripoli and talking to the Raul, the bartender, I realised we might move the Armory to the Primary base. I asked Curios to help me with it, and it was done in a few hours. Several rookie Bounty Hunter patrols engaged us along the way. Guess the NAP didn't mean a lot to them when a ship with so much experimental guns is around.
Upon landing, I looked at some paperwork and realised Nagala is at the end of his trial period. I called him to my quarters together with the Buccaneers and we talked.
From now on, Nagala is a proud member of the permanent Black Sails roster. His slaving time is over and he is promoted to Sailor. Unless he messes up badly he is staying.
I took a nap after these events and woke up relatively late. Told myself I will have one more stroll around the Omegas. Obviously still sleepy, I managed to take some heavy damage from a Freelancing Rheinlander. The Correo it is for the next few days, then.
The long negotiations with the Junkers have finally come to meet their end. It took a while, cost a lot of resources, but I'm sure it will be an excellent investment in the long run. This old ship the junkers found and repaired for us will be used for Etna's 'product'. Among other things. Sails, I present to you; *drumroll*
Mala-Sangre!
Our freshly re-assembled Slave Liner, with 11 turrets of sheer power, even though a bit slow when turning. I would advise you to use it with fighter escorts only. Have fun, amigos. Those with the launch codes earned it.
A rather interesting day it was. I've done my fair share of resources acquisition. These would include H-Fuel, Scrap Metal and Military Vehicles. The vehicles were acquired by rerouting a Freelancer Borderworld Transport to Battleship Fes. Concerning credits, we managed to get paid by a BMM miner. Nice boys, these miners. They make money for us and don't even know it. *chuckle*
Records:
Concerning combat, all I can say today is wow ... just wow. Immediately after docking the technician that welded my wing together got jettisoned out of the airlock. I lost guns from two ships today (first caused by the Joker and an SCRA pilot, later by a group of RHA), including my precious Excalibur prototypes. Hell knows when I will be able to get my hands on those again. Well, I live, but I need to fly to Prox to get a new set of weapons, and possibly a brand new ship. Who knows what might fall off next time, since the guy was putting my ships together for a whole or so. Goddamn amateurs.

Hola senor,
Yesterday me & Esu both have got the order from Hogosha that they need some shipments of Artifacts, so we had taken out our Pirate Transports and delivered nearly 8000 arifacts to Kabukicho Depot, in New Tokyo system....
In the return trip, shipyard incharge of Tripoli told us to bring some fine Kusari Quantom multiplexers......
In this run we have encountered some kusari Independent lawfuls but we avoid them & kept our ships out of their scanner range.......
Hola senor,
A hopefully good day for me , as after a Artifact run to Trafalgar ....got these two poor Trader/Miner in omega-3....
A Kruger miner, heading for mining field in Omega 7 with empty hold.......
I thought to tax him high but he begs for his life......so acquired the tax....
second one was the Bowex, soon the miner leaved the space Bowex Trader in fully Armored Shire transport appeared on scanner.....
Carries the full hold of Refugees, he paid a good amount to save the his passengers....
My share to Sails.loot will be transferred soon....

Two traders dropped the cargo & return back to Rhineland .... One opposed, faced the Death:D.......
Military Vehicles obtained Transported to Battleship Fes.
A IMG transport with Oxygen offered us a loan, but we had only taken a installment from him.....*chuckle*
My share to Sails.loot will be transferred soon....
Buenos dias amigos, this is my first report since I became a sailor. I was in a hunt lately to get something to benefit our great empire so here I'll tell you what happened. Soon as I've got my hands on new pirate transport from our shipyards I decided to try it out. So I went to hit those Bretonian gringos on their territory. I found Dublin a great place to crush economy of one of theirs corporations. I've found two of those gringos working in a field near Omega 49 jump hole so I decided to make them fill my transport with gifts.
I have unloaded first shipment of gold to our treasure pile on Cadiz senor. And I went later on that day to find some more as I was feeling not so merciful to the gringos who supports our enemies.
I found two more of those Bretonians working in fields, but unfortunately when they started running I manage to destroy only one as other took shelter at one of those stations.
I have brought some more of that gold to Cadiz later. And went pirating in omegas to finish that day. I sent my contribution to our loot account patron.
