Report:
G'day lads, Miller here.
Today i started my day with an full load of Superconductors to Nansei Research Facility in system Kyushu.
My next cargo were Polymers which i brought to Planet Denver.
That day i reveived an personal message from an unknow person.
According to what he says there is a bounty on all iKytec personnel.
I advise extreme caution when you are flying.
Today i was escorting our transports when some pirate came and he wanted 5 mills, so i showed him what i think about that.
Later i joined our transports in Leeds and we went to Dublin for some Gold Ore, when we came some 'sair had problems with us, but i talked him out of that, later i was keeping one 2 miners that we hired and 'sair came again, he destroyed one miner and when i almost killed him he escaped but he gave me very big problems with my ship so i had to withdraw from Dublin.
Been a slow few days recently, so I'll start with the earliest events.
Started the day on Manhattan, loading up on those Luxuries that keep the Bretonians happy, then headed for New London. On the way there, as generally signature of my reports, nothing of particular note happened, which is really, then you think about it, a good thing. Anyway, arrived, unloaded the goods to a seller, than Bought mining machinery. Had a break for a while as techs made sure the damage from the previous attack was okay, before heading out for Omega 7.
Passed through Cambridge without incident, or rather, without meeting any significant individuals, much to both my relief, and that of the crew, the same sort of thing happened in Omega 3 too, I guess any events there have calmed down. Made a jump to Omega 7, and took the lane to Freistadt, and, as usual, nothing of note came in our way between the gate and Freistadt. Sold the Mining machinery to the Guilds salesmen there, and took a break for a while.
By the time I had finished, the Theodus T was en route to the system, or rather, had actually arrived, and began looking for a mining ship to buy ore from. It ended up that the mining ship's crew wasn't as fast as expected, so the Theodus loaded up on a partial load of Silver, and followed the Apollo to Omega 11 to fill the rest of the hold with diamonds. Since my vessel wasn't at the mining site, I bought a full load of water to take to the Daumann base, Solaris station. There, I sold the water to the station manager, and had a load of diamonds for New Tokyo loaded. The Mr Krantz followed suit with his ship, barring the ~1500 units of ore loaded in his vessel, and we headed to Kusari trailing one another.
We passed through Rheinland, and the Sigma systems, completely without incident, providing a good basis on which we jumped from Honshu to New Tokyo. Having taken a incorrect turn at one point, I was behind the Theodus by a small margin, and they reported a Hogosha Bomber heading past them in my direction. However, when encountered, neither of the Hogosha ships showed any interest in the Apollo. Presumably, they were too busy, or preoccupied. With that done, and the Diamonds sold on Shinjuku, we deliberated where to head next. After a short discussion, and reports of the Hogosha ships committing piracy in the Honshu system, we headed to Yokohama, and purchased a load of engine components each. With that done, we headed back to Liberty, to sell them.
On the way there, Mr Krantz suggested that we detour from Baltimore to Rochester in order to gain a bit more profit from the run, as the Junkers there pay higher for the usually unobtainable engine components from Kusari. With that in mind, after heading through Colorado and Kepler without anything cropping up, we headed towards Rochester. As I predicted, a pirate cropped up on scanner, however, it seemed that they were too preoccupied with a Navy ship to bother paying attention to the Transports passing them from about 6 k away. We arrived at the station, and sold the Engine components to the salesmen there. I had the Apollo loaded with superconductors, but it seemed that this was all that we would do for the day, so both of us retired to Newark.
That's all for yesterday's report, signing off.

G'day lads, Miller here.
I started my day with an full load of Superconductors for Planet Honshu.
I loaded Optronics on my ship and went to Freiburg Station.
From Planet Stuttgart i took Synth Paste to Mainz Storage Facility.
That was all for now.
Miller out.
This will be a report of the past few days, first i started taking luxury goods from New York to New London, then as usual i tried to find some ore from the miners of dublin which usually get me a very good profit, as usual some pirates interrupted our work with the ususal "donation" request, it seemed too lucky that they were asking only a couple of millions for my ore load.
What i didn't know was the incoming Phantoms assault group, they wiped out everyone there and then they surrounded me... well all i know is thet i regained consciousness hours later, my life support was barely working and my hull was full of holes, what worst was that my ore was wiped out.
After doing some repairs on the field i took my ship to baltimore shipyard to get professional repairs and i had to stay for the night in their sickbay to avoid a probable radiation sickness and to get some examinations.
Yesterday still aching from the injuries i decided to go in kusari to avoid the growing pirate activity between Liberty and Bretonia.
From New Tokyo i brought Quantum capacitors to New Berling at the massive base called The Ring, from there i hired a guard and i brought the newest Mining Machines to Fraistadt Base in Omega-7.
I contacted a miner who was working in the rich Silver Fields and i headed to him, but then a strange contact appeared on the scanners, a Gunboat class, the Friend/Foe program i had just installed identified it as Wilde Scorpion, it instantly wiped out the guard i sent at rendevouz point and seconds later the miner followed him too, damn, i barely managed to dock at freistadt before it was too late....
A couple of hours later, i contacted another Daumann miner and started to work with him, since his skills at mining were clearly lacking the professionality i wanted, i decided to wrok with mason and his Apollo|T912, after paying what i owed to the miner we brought a load of diamonds from the Solaris crafters miners who extract and polish them from their hellish system.
The route was completed without serious problems, i've seen a couple of pirates but they didn't bother us at all so we headed to New york with a load of engine components, again we've seen a pirate but he seemed a bit busy so we managed to sell at Rochester and we landed safely at Newark station.

Report:
Yesterday started out as normal day, as my ship was stationed in planet Leeds. I started the loading Hull Panels to take to the New York system and that I did with no encounter of any kind, then I found one of our escort Toni, he was kind enough to escort my ship to the Leeds system once agian with a full cargo of Baron this time. In the way to Leeds i started contacting a few miners in the hope of they would sell me their Gold Ore, after a few tries I was able to make a deal with one miner by the name of Flybull_mining. After a few we got to the Magellan jump gate and Toni went to scout ahead and reported clear but while i was making the jump a pirate came out of nowhere, he ask for money in exchange for my life and i askt Toni to kill him and he engaged the pirate and in doing so he gave me the time to escape. After i reacht my destination at LD-14 in the Leeds system i recived words on the comm channle that Toni killd the pirate and it was good news indeed. Now i was on my way to the Dublin system and found yet anthere of our transport by the name of Tartarus|T066, once Toni joind us we formed a canvoy and were headed to the Dublin system to meet up with the miner, litle did we know there was anthere pirate near the Leeds jump hole in Dublin system, we quickly scatterd and went in diffrent direction and both transport mange to escape and meet up near Battleship Essex. After I found out that the miner i hired had no mining ship i was very angry knowing that he want be dilivering the amount of ore i want i started broadcasting messages trying to find more miners willing to sell thier ore but with no luck. Soon after that came an expcted help from a miner we know, thinking i would go back to Liberty with a full cargo of gold ore, came the sudden message that the miner with destroyed by a pirate. All hope gone the canvoy started to break and were headed back to Liberty, still i stayed to close my deal with Flybull_mining by that time he only recived 999 ore from his mining and i payed the amount we agreed per ore and left the system and was headed back to Leeds to pick up Hull panles to fill up the empty space. I was now carrying 1247 gold ore and rest Hull panles and was headed to Liberty system, there was many reports of heavy pirate activity and the way to New York but i was determend to reach New York as my shift was runing out. Finly reacht New York and was heading to west point and i run into an indi pirate with a gunboat, fearing that i would lose my cargo i payed the amount of 5 million and an outcast came soon after that demanding tax, when the report reacht our escort they came and distructed the outcast long enough to make a run for it. Soon i was in Detroit munitions and sold the gold ore there and headed to Baltimore shipyard to sell the rest of the Hull panles, and then after that i headed to manhattan for a long sleep.
Today was my sleep over and i thought i take a big chance in taking my ship for the longest run there is, i loaded up with Robotic components and took them to the Ontario system and sold em in Toronto station and pickt up Platinum and headed to the Honshu system in the kusari space, there i sold my cargo and loaded with Optronics and headed to the Stuttgard system and sold them in Freiburg station and pickt up Food Rations to sell it on Solarius station in Omega 11 system. There i loaded up with Daimonds and headed to Newcastle system in Bretonia space, passing via Omega 5 and 3 headed to the cambrigde jump hole and then in to the Leeds jump hole. The entire trip was pirate free all the way to Newcastle. After i reacht Scarborough Station and sold the Daimonds i loaded up my ship with Super Alloy i started my enging and was headed to the Liberty system, with no encounters on the way beside freindly traders i sold my cargo at Baltimore shipyard and headed to planet Manhattan where i granted my crew a well deserved RnR and a for me to visit my favorte bar.

Report:
Let's see...where to begin...Ah yes.
Wednesday, I found myself on LD-14, and quickly found an escort floating around Leeds. I took some MOX to Derby while on my way to meet him. I then decided o go to Dublin to buy some gold. Took awhile, but I found a seller for the ore. While waiting for the second seller, a fight between these 'indian' things and the BAF, Mollys, and Hunters was going on on the other side of the system. So my escort went to assist, and ended up getting blown up. Fortunately, he had a spare ship on the Essex. We then made our way to Detroit, had a little problem with some Hackers, but they let me go, since they were focused on a Gateway Royal Liner, who was quite annoying and seemed to want to speak for me. We made the rest of the way without incident. I unloaded the ore, and retired for a glass of wine.
Yesterday, I found a seller for some armor platings, so I met up with Mc Illheney. We then picked up some mining stuff, then headed to Freidstadt to unload it. We proceeded to Elbich, where we met the seller. Then buying some Copper, we offloaded it on Newark without incident.
Today, I woke up to my consoled beeping about a new transmission. Seems that my order of guns finally came through. I launched the Aphrodite, and proceeded to meet the seller, who sold me 5 Bloodstones, 2 Jades, and 2 Onyx's. Finding myself low on fuel, I had to quickly land on West Point, where I rested for awhile before taking a shuttle to Omega-11 to pick up my Falcon. After a few hour ride, I met up with the Apollo, and we decided on hauling diamonds to Manhatten. However, as soon as we got to Cambridge, we ran across a Corsair Bomber, Hernando.Gonzales. He demanded a few million for the Apollo, made a few sexist remarks, and his friend, Nosferatu, another bomber, showed up. The Apollo paid then they turned to me demanding my personal diamonds. I told him to shove it, and we started fighting. But, this so called 'Corsair Honor' is just lies. He called in yet -another- bomber, and they started spamming disruptor missiles at me, forcing me to dodge the entire time. We kept fighting, and decided to fake my own death via nuclear mine. I escaped in my pod, and am currently on Solaris right now, where I began...egh...maybe tomorrow. Oh, and while in Omega-7, some confused IMG miner was going nuts. Anywho, Katie Harrison, signing off.
Well, started off with a load of Superconductors that I mentioned in the prior report, and made way for Omega 3, Aland shipyard to sell stuff there. This went rather well, with little in the way of disruptions, and I arrived at Omega 3 quite safely. On the way there, I contacted Katie Harrison, as stated above, and as I arrived, we discussed the direction to go in. I sold the Superconductors at Aland, and loaded up with Oxygen to ship to Solaris, although, I'm not quite sure what they need such a large volume for'¦
As we passed through the Omega 7 system into Omega 11, I suggested that we check the status of the mining operations in the area. Shortly afterwards, I was reaffirmed that the ships had only just begun, so we continued on our way.
Arriving again, incident free, the Oxygen was sold, and a full load of diamonds bought. Passing through 11 and 7 without any notable encounters, the run was going fine till omega 3. From here things went downhill for a bit. Well, it was more of Cambridge, but yeah. Jumped from Omega 3 to Cambridge using the jump hole, and ran into a few problems. The least of which being the primary camera failing, hence the lack of data recording. Anyway, after jumping, we ran right into a Corsair, by the name of Hernando Gonzales.
Anyway, was hailed, halted and the game of questioning began. Ms. Harrison was not quite pleased with the way she was referred to, and hence hostility began to increase around the corsair's attitude. In addition, another bomber had arrived, this one by the name of Nosferatu, he too, was flying a Corsair bomber. In the end, it culminated with a 5 million demand, which I requested be lowered to 4.5, a more reasonable offer. With that, the Apollo was granted permission to leave.
Ms. Harrison on the other hand was not. As detailed in the above report, things happened after my ship had departed. However, it would've been highly unwise to remain in the area, as another bomber closed in, this one the 'Black Hole'.
From there, we continued on our course for Liberty, encountering no other unwarranted disturbances. Rather than heading directly for Manhattan, we headed around to Denver instead, and sold the diamonds to a commodities dealer there. Here, I once again had the Apollo filled with bought Superconductors, but, aware of the corsairs recent activity in the omegas, decided to head in a different direction. Looking up the available buyers, I saw a curious one on the list, Kansai research station. Figuring the profit was worth it, we set off towards the station.
Passing through Galileo, I picked up a pair of Rogue vessels a mere 4k off from one of the bends, however, they showed no interest in our vessel as we passed by them. Heading along the plotted course, we soared through Shikoku with no interruptions, and did the same for New Tokyo. Upon our arrival at Honshu, a clear gate greeted us, and we proceeded along the Lanes to Kansai. Arriving at the station with no worries, and clearing out with the onboard guards, we offloaded the cargo for its considerable price, and inquired about the outbound commodities available. It appeared that the primary unrestricted export for the station was Nanocapacitors. It appeared that these were in rather high demand on Fort Severn, so we headed off towards there with the cargo. On the way to the station there, a IMG mining vessel contacted me to see if the Apollo was interested in hauling some ores that had no more transporter due to the contracted one getting lost.
After arriving and selling the goods at Severn, I had the ship make headway for Tau 23, where the miner was located, so that we could fill up as much as possible to sell. Didn't happen to have any cargo on the way there though, but arrived safely nevertheless. In terms of price, settled on a 5k per unit, and loaded up on about 3000 units of ore. This wasn't quite enough to fill the hold of the advanced train, so while passing by Java, we bought additional units of Beryllium to make the rest of the cargo.
Heading through the Sigmas and Frankfurt completely without problems, we arrived at New Berlin orbit completely trouble free, and proceeded to unload the Niobium ore to the Planet, and the refined Beryllium to the massive complex of stations they call the ring. From there, mining machinery was bought, as we had been told by the miner that they would have more ore waiting in Omega 7. Heading to Freistadt base, at which our mining machinery sold for a fair bit at, and then meeting up with the miner's associate, and getting another 3k worth of ore at a price of 5k per unit. Once again, we loaded up on refined minerals, this time silver, to make the most of the run.
Arriving again in New Tokyo without any encounters whatsoever, I made a sale of the ore at Narita Outpost, and sold the refined silver at the Planet. From there, the Apollo headed to Shinjuku, loaded up with Quantum Multiplexors, and went on its back to Baltimore to finish off the run. Arriving just before the inbound ion storms, the components were unloaded, sold, and I decided to take a shuttle back to Manhattan, once the storm calmed.
That concludes this report. There was a piracy, but we recovered from it and ended up making a rather marginal profit. Signing off.

G'day lads, Miller here.
Today i supplied Leipzig Station with Robotic Components.
From Leipzig i took High-Temperature Alloy to Nansei Research Facility.
After this i flew to Planet Leeds and bought a full load of Ship Hull Panels, which i brought to Baltimore Shipyard.
