I just wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself to the rest of The Brotherhood, and let you all know that if anything at all can be done to assist in the defense of our home or furthering our interests abroad - you can count on me.
I intend to dedicate myself fully to the eradication of the Outcast threat and get the revenge on Bretonia I have so long been awaiting.
For the honor and glory of The Brotherhood!

I'd like to welcome new brothers Alejandro Venganza and Claudio Delgado in our Brotherhood.
I was honoured to test fight brother Claudio and I must admint that his piloting skills in a fighter are on a very high level. I never managed to bring his hull below half, and I had troubles with targeting his ship. But it's also possible that I had too much beer the other day.
There is also one request, I'd like to ask all brothers to help me with. I have been setting up our new brother Claudio and I noticed that the valuable guns and equipment in our Bank has been almost depleted. We need especially lootable codename weapons so if everybody could bring some, it would be great. I'll provide the armor upgrades, thrusters and scanners. Thanks for help!
Where can I find these codename weapons of which you speak? I will gladly obliterate some helpless merchants to acquire some. Just tell me when and where..

They are lootable from certain ship wrecks, brother. But be carefull, in some systems, they don't just hate Corsairs, they also dislike everyone who loots the wrecks of their dead friends, so it's quite a dangerous business.
I to have equipped 3 or 4 fighters over the last couple of days and noticed our bank was feeling a little empty, firstly i will take the Velasco to the outer systems and harvest those nomads for there blasters and cannons, then i will hunt all the none locations i have on the wrecks.
Id also like to welcome all the new brotherhood, safe flying out there!
I would also like to remind everyone, even our elders! about our forum, its becoming quite active and it would be great if everyone could get there and participate in whats going on, all Elders are admins there aswell.
"Awe come on Corsairs, come play in the fog!" Came a female haughty and arrogant voice.
"Shes most likely in the Maltov Nebula, split up and search."
"Aye sir." Clicked Lucendez in his newly purchased Titan. Juan had been patrolling Omega-93 all day and was finally ready for some action, any action. Juan cruised into the green fog and started dodging rock moving in a circular pattern that would take the least amount of time.
"Found her." Radioed Juan through the wing-group only comm channel. "D3, she sees me as well, moving to engage."
"Roger that, amigo. Venganza en route. 45K till intercept."
"Wonderful ... what the?" Lucendez exclaimed at the annoying beeping sound coming from somewhere inside his cockpit. That moment was the time the enemy pilot decided to open fire and strafe the lingering Titan, knocking out Lucendez's shielding. Juan cursed his distractive mind and thrusted out, dodging his enemies' next run. Juan punched the blinking and beeping light. "What is it?!"
"Honey, is that you?" The color drained from Juan's face.
"Yes darling, of course. How are -you-." Adding extra strain to the end of the word 'you' and bringing his adversary down to half shielding.
"Oh I'm fine, a bit cranky today actually. I talked to Corsair high command and they think they can get you a freighter position sometime in the near future! Isn't that great?"
"--Warning, incoming missile--"
Juan almost didn't see the Starkiller Torpedo until the computer warned him about it, detonating harmlessly on a rock face.
"Juan, who was that in the background? Was that a woman I heard?!"
"No no honey, of course not, that was the computer, dinners done. Do you think we can talk about this some other time?" Lucendez had used the blast-cloud created by the torpedo to hide on the other side of an asteroid. The woman on the other end radioed back, "Well of course, it's not like you're doing anything dangerous or anything, I'll let you get back to your boring patrol. Crete out."
Juan breathed in a sigh of relief and looked up. Apparently the transmission from Crete was enough to triangulate Lucendez's position. She had been waiting there until he hung up before letting the trigger go and annihilating Lucendez's ship. As Juan's drop pod careened wildly through the green fog, Venganza finally showed up and tractored him back to Crete. Juan watched the empty hull of his first Titan as he cruised back to Crete with Vengaza.
"I need a drink after that debacle." Juan said. Vengaza just shrugged. Juan sat down on the passenger's seat and looked around the cockpit, smiling at the gaping hole where the transmission terminal was supposed to be, long torn out. "Live and learn, I guess."
OOC. As you can see, I got eliminated pretty fast but LesMoore held out for about 45 minutes before the battle ended. (anna was the name of the enemy) Good show brother!
"The thirteen saloons that had lined the one street of Seney had not left a trace. The foundations of the Mansion House hotel stuck up above the ground. The stone was chipped and split by the fire. It was all that was left of the town of Seney. Even the surface had been burned off the ground.
Nick looked at the burned-over stretch of hillside, where he had expected to find the scattered houses of the town and then walked down the railroad track to the bridge over the river. The river was there."
To know how to win, one must first learn how to lose.
You may have been annihilated by an enemy, but I would rather this than you being sheltered from combat. This is an excellent sign. I hope this has taught you a lesson about the dirty tricks and scummy tactics that the enemy around us use. Great battle report aswell, I look forward to reading more of them in the future. Not the usual style...I like it.
On a brighter note, I have shared some of my knowledge in the tactical database on our planet (forums) and wish you all to read it. It contains some useful tactical information about basic flight of fighters and gunboats, as well as a massively simplified description weapon group procedure. If you have problems with this, please tell me via the noteboard where the instructions are posted.
Bear in mind, this is just writing, and may not turn out as expected as there are no pictures or videos of implemetation. However, play with the tactics I input into the database. They may turn out well.
Also, brother Maniaco, your contribution in the database would be greatly appreciated to supplement my knowledge of offensive combat with your unparalleled skill of not-getting-hit by just about anything. Your capacity for survival astounds me every time I see you engage, and I hope you can share this with everyone in our protected database. I, for one, would like to learn just how you do it!
