On patrol for most of th' day, I decided to spend some time around Pueblo station. Intercepted "Transportation" tryin t' sneak some of our Gate/Lane parts. I gave him his chance to stop an' turn 'round, but dis tough guy wouldn't listen. My SNAC taught dat guy a lesson. Some of th' parts were recovered an' returned to Pueblo. Th' rest had t' be blown up.

I drive truck for a living....then I come home and do the same thing in a giant, computer generated ship...lol
It was an unusual day for me today. Somwhat as a role-reversal, my ship was subcontracted to Universal Shipping in order to help out with a shortfall of staff.
Usually it's all inanimate chunks of steel and wiring in the hold, but it's a hell of a lot more stressful when your cargo talks back at you. I ended up carrying consumer goods out to Edinburgh, and then having some passengers for a quick transit back to Leeds; from there different passengers in to New London.
I must say, things get offloaded a lot faster when you can just use an EM-crane to toss the cargo pods around, but no, you've got to be gentle with passengers on board.
After that stressful episode finished, we went down to the Dublin system to grab gold. Unfortunately, we had to wait for BMM vessels to return to base before all the USI ships could bee filled to capacity with the shiny stuff.
Luckily, it was a clear run all the way back to New York.

Ugh, A Lane Hacker Bomber, "The.Phantom" stopped me by the California Jump Gate in New York today. Fortunately, our Bounty Hunter Guild friend "BHG|Ronald_Roberts" was in the area and chased the Hacker off.

Subject: Bretonia
It has been reported increased activity of pirates in Bretonian space. Most of them belong to Mollys. Unfortunately, not only to demand payment, called a "tax", but also to block the trade in goods produced by BMM.
Suggests traveling with an escort to the Bretonia.

I encountered, during my patrol in the Liberty space, a smuggler with gate parts in his cargo hold. Not stopped, although he was twice asked to turn off the engines. I chased him from Pueblo Station to Galileo system. After his ship was shot down, I took the parts that were not destroyed during the explosion.

Subject: Keeping gold ore inventory up at Detroit Munitions
Greetings all,
Over the last week, I have been working, shipping gold ore from the Dublin mine fields to Detroit Munitions. With the war raging on between Liberty and Rhineland, capitalization of this unfortunate string of occurrences is crucial for the future growth and expansion of Ageira. Our growth in weapon manufacturing and development is the key for success in this day and age.
Many miners, particularly the ships with the call sign "[LF]w00dst0ck" and "Drowzee", have been working with me and have been selling Gold Ore at fair prices. I usually pay 2500 per unit of Gold Ore, but I'll pay 3000 per unit for loads of a minimum of 2000 units. Ships like the Hegemon have the capability to carry more than 2000 units. The extra payment will encourage miners to have Gold Ore ready for us when we reach Dublin to avoid having to deal with the pesky Mollys.
Security Force;
I'm fairly certain that the local Mollys in Dublin have spread word around the system that Ageira has increased it's demand for Gold Ore. There hasn't been one day where I get hassled by some ship in Dublin. Also, with the trip back from Bretonia being rough one, I would like to request increased patrols in California, and into Cortez (if the Security budget allows, of course).
TransDiv;
When shipping Gold Ore, I follow two separate routes. One if I find available miners to buy the Ore, and another if no one is available, or if conditions are too dangerous;
> Gate/Lane Parts to Waterloo Station, New London
> empty to Thames Outpost, New London
> Mining Machinery to Graves Station, Dublin
> Gold Ore to Detroit Munitions, New York
> Light Arms to Duluth Shipyard, Minnesota
> Engine Components to Baltimore Shipyard, New York
> Spaceship Crew to Planet Pittsburgh, New York
> Basic Alloy to Pueblo Station, Colorado
If there is no Gold Ore available in Dublin,
> Gold to Fort Bush, New York
> Oxygen to Detroit Munitions, New York
> Light Arms to Duluth Shipyard, Minnesota
> Engine Components to Baltimore Shipyard, New York
> Spaceship Crew to Planet Pittsburgh, New York
> Basic Alloy to Pueblo Station, Colorado
Sometimes miners will hang out around Graves Station or Battleship Essex to sell. If not, I've found success checking the mine fields for ships at work and simply asking if they are selling. Or making a general request to purchase on the system wide comm.
When in Dublin, use extreme caution at all times. Numerous times I've been chased out of a mine filed while being filled by a mining ship. Watch for Mollys. The Mollys don't so much like the Gold Ore export business. They think that the Dublin system is theirs. California and Cortez are hot spots for various pirate activities; Rogues, Lane Hackers, Indies. If you are having trouble in Dublin, contact the Bretonian Armed Forces. They do a good job chasing away the Mollys. The Bounty Hunters' Guild also can be found around that area from time to time. They may also be available for escort.
Good luck to all and keep safe.

During my patrols, made in the past week, there wasn't a particular success. There were a few skirmishes with the pirates and smugglers. The results of these operations shows us that the number of patrols and the fleet should be increased. We need more vessels out there. Also, efforts should be more coordinated. Let's start to be more aggressive than defensive.
Smugglers should be shot down immediately after scanning the ship. During my flight no one took the opportunity to return to Pueblo to drop parts. They started to run or shoot after my reminder.
I also have a request.
Request permission to purchase two vessels.
Camara - DSE-720 Civilian Freighter
Pelican - Civilian Armored Transport
The first ship I need to feed our base in the basic materials and commodities. My adv. Train is too large for such missions. The second ship will I need to carry more valuable materials.
I have the money needed to purchase equipment and the ships themselves.
Keep up the good work! A continuous flow of detailed trade and combat reports assists our corporation to grow and develop positively by analysing your feedback.
Mark Simons;
The purchase of those particular vessels has been cleared. Please visit maintenance to pick up the required transponder units.
Captain Jace Matthews;
Information about the activities of Dublin locals from first-hand experience is always useful; Bretonian reports are often delayed due to their war.
Both have been tested and armed. There were also their first flights. There were no irregularities in their operation. Still missing a few things in their equipment (advanced scanners, thrusters). Although they will begin regular flights from today.
Ageira|Komovi will supply our bases in the basic commodities (food, water, oxygen). The vast majority of them will come from the Libery. It will also be exported waste generated during the operation of bases.
It does not require an escort.
Ageira|Nanos will be used to export and import of precious materials, even outside Liberty. It will also transport passengers like scientist, technicans, VIPs and other workers.

Today I started working after a short vacation. It was a very busy day. Provided a Gate Parts to the Bonn Station, then came back with Cobalts to Pueblo. After that I switched to the new vessels. From headquarters in Pueblo received a number of 19th.
Eagle was the first ship that I tested. Performs well. Arm is also very good. During a brief patrol in NY got used to its maneuverability. Then I began checking other cargo vessels present in the vicinity of Pueblo. I came across a smuggler, whose ship was called sWaBaZoKa. He tried to smuggle in parts but forced him to turn back. I noticed that He was watching and waiting until I will go away so I did a trick. I landed at the station and immediately switched to the bomber. When I was in the air, his ship, filled with parts, was halfway to the Trade Lane. I started to shoot him without warning. He tried to escape back to the station but did not give him a chance.
