Never got the skin, and didnt see it on the thread. Could you send it to me... I would love to see and start using it.

We were not upset by the other Corsairs attacking us but the fact that Red_Beard instructed them to do so and then helped in appeared to help in said destruction. If our pilot was incorrect in that assumption, then we apologize. However, the instruction to attack us is being viewed as a direct attack on us. Also our pilot did not feel too comfortable with the routing on of the destruction of his ship by Red_Beard.

Thank you for the offer, but RepEx does not require reperations. We understand the misunderstanding. More than anything we just want to make sure that this doesnt occur again. We view you as a strong and necessary ally in our ventures and do not wish for that situation to be dissolved. Consider this matter forgotten. I apologize for the harsh response by our legal department. You know how lawyers can be.
Thank You,

Today, me and 6 brothers Corsairs engaged a large squadron (7) of RM ships at Planet New Berlin, including several gunboats, bombers and fighters, later another battleship joined them. It was a very long and exhausting fight (almost 3 hours ?!) but we managed to take them one by one. Most of the kills were done by brother Skyelius, whose amazing piloting skills probably won the battle. If he somehow reaches the door of our recruitment office, direct him to me immediately. I must mention, that one enemy ship was accidentally destroyed by their own Novas (I think it was Meric Freelamen who missed our tiny Osiris). And another one (with pants already full of something nasty) chose to burn in the atmosphere instead of fighting the brave Corsairs.
At the end the real surprise came. A Bundschuh Wraith fighter joined the fight and fought against us alongside the Rheinland forces. Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought that Bundschuh fighters and Rheinlanders are sworn enemies. Well to be honest, my surprise was so enormous, that I overlooked an incoming torpedo and my Titan was destroyed, leaving the enemy no more nanobots and batteries left as I already used them in the previous battle. Shame I used all my cruise disruptors before as well as they are the only effective defense against torpedoes.
Anyway, there were no more RM forces left at Planet New Berlin so I was lucky not to get arrested and my lifepod was brought back to Crete by the rest of the brothers. Today, all the expenses in the Boozer's lounge are paid by me.
The battle's odds were against us, but we beat down all obstacles in the road to victory over RM. Every brother that bravely fought for his people made a great difference in such a horrifying brawl. Every single sacrifice of our noble blood won the fight against our enemies. I'm glad to announce that the Wraith fighter was forced to retreat after another fellow survivor and myself brought his hull down to scrap. I thank the TBH for that enormous round of drinks they left for us at the bar. I hope our courage today will always remain the the memories of our allies, enemies and later, our descendants.
Long live the Corsairs!!

I feel pride to be Corsair but even more so to be in the Brotherhood itself, it was an amazing battle, my first in my new bomber, but i managed to do some damage to there fleet before being destroyed by one of the gunboats half way through.
You all fought well and with much honor, and the Rhindlanders fought the same, it was a great battle, lets hope there are many more to come.
Skyelius it seems you have cought the eye of Maniaco, it seems you flew well in this battle and i think you would make a great addition to the brotherhood, please go and see him as he as asked you to.

Well, it was not really a corsair way of fighting, but a joint wing of TBH and SCRA fighters and bombers (2+2) attacked a Nova PG squadron (battleship, cruiser and a fighter) in Omicron Delta, forced the cruiser to cruise away after reducing it's hull to minimum and fully disabled the battleship. Then we chosed to disengage because their reinforcements were coming. We left them to the arriving wing of BSG fighters. My Titan was crippled by the explosion of the battleship's engine and I had to be dishonourably brought back to Crete in a lifepod again.
This act can be considered as victory, but their counter-attack can be expected soon.
What worries me more is the lack of TBH activity these days, so I have reopened the recruitment office so we can unite more skilled corsairs under our wings. We can also call our friends for help, namely BSG, SCRA, OPG, and the Benitez family. But I'd prefer more TBH members. If you meet any possible recruits, direct them here: Join the Brotherhood!

Like Pedro said, we had a victorious fight there, and I'm glad my first bomber mission went well after all.
Anyway, I see that there's not much activity in our new meeting place Elder Costello set us up. Maybe not all Brotherhood members found their way there, so I'm posting the link here again: Corsairs Brotherhood (forum of TBH)

Today, the AW invaded.
Ximen (Gunboat) and I (Titan) engaged their Scimitar and Bomber. Out of honor, I chose to go 1 on 1 with the Scimitar.
They then brought in a Battleship. I fought 1-on-1 with the Battleship for what seemed like half-an-hour. It was taken down eventually with a bit of help....
Then...a NovaPG Gunboat arrived... followed by a fighter...and a Battleship...against my Fighter and a couple of others.
All that remained was the battleship...we never managed to take it down.
The server crashed, and they left, just after UOG arrived on scene.
The battle ended at the crash, I didn't die at all.
AW, UOG, NovaPG, Bushido, 101st....all wanting to invade...often grouping together...what do we have? Corsairs...us..on our own.
The Bs| where there, they couldnt help us...

Amigo Carlos!
You, brother Spacewolf and the others did a great job today. Unfortunately attacks of our homeland are becoming very frequent these days and our enemy grows stronger every day. The Brotherhood is currently going through a temporary crisis as lots of our members became lazy and they don't even leave the Boozer's Lounge when Crete is under attack. This is no longer acceptable. The Brotherhood always played important role in uniting scattered Corsairs and defending Corsair Zones of Interest. Omicron Gamma once was a peacefull system, but what we are experiencing today looks like a bad dream...
We will do our best to become the mighty and well organized force we once were, but for now we have to rely on what we have left. In case of emergency feel free to contact SCRA or BSG. SCRA, due to the 'arms deal' (allowing them to use certain corsair equipment) agreed to help us defend Gamma, but as far as I am concerned due to some silly agreement they refuse to fight against AW these days. And BSG, our mutual friendly status and common enemies enable us to call them to help us if needed. But on the other hand, don't forget to offer them help too. Refer to the Brotherhood, and Elder Maniaco if needed. It's also known that OPG were helping us in recent fights as well. Don't rely on Bs|. They are on friendly terms with the Brotherhood, but they are also friendly to AW, which makes them useless if AW is involved too.
What wonders me is, that AW actively continues in attacking Omicron Gamma, even though we never attacked their homebase, we try to avoid hostilities in Theta at all costs (we use that system only to pass through), and we also stopped attacking HF, as their war against SCRA is probably over. I'll try to use some diplomatic channels but I can't guarantee anything. Some of their leaders are, let's say not so reasonable, they prefer to involve unnecesarry emotions.
What I wanted to say is, there are plenty frequencies that can be used to send a distress call, and you can always contact any TBH vessel if you need a hand with anything.
We will prevail! Long live the Brotherhood! Long live the Corsairs!
