NEWS:
Good work people, some areas we need to improve over the next few months should be mining in the Tau 23 area and also more in the Dublin system. Also storage vessels located in the Southamton area should relocate to either Stokes for the Tau 23 drop of zone or Graves for the Gold mining in Dublin.
Also on another point we need more Escort pilots in space more of the time, I even seen a trading vessel making a round trip unprotected this simple will not do, pirating effects profits which effects everything from the quality of your ships and equipment to the wages you will get at the end of each month.
On a higher note, profits have seen a record high for the first quarter and i would like to see it beatten again next quarter, remember the more we make the more you get back out of it.
Now as you know Mr Cunningham past away last week from a IMG patrol in the Tau 23 system, as you know he was head of Internal matters in the Mining outposts in the Boarder worlds and it is a sad loss to us all. His Son Edgar Cunningham and as most of you know our old Commander of the LD-14 station has taken over the work of the great man and we wish him all the best in this hard time.
As you all know I have also had a loss within the family and have taken some time away to support my family through this tough time, but now i'm back and what i see is worrying, with transports and escort ships spending more time grounded than in space apart from thoughs true few who stay out there making there names. I WANT TO SEE YOU ALL TRADING, apart from that good work and remember put the word out that BMM is now recruiting.
Hey this is Dhax, the new guy. I just wanted to give a quick shout to say I'm here and ready to start mining and shipping as soon as possible. Unfortunately for the past few days I have been tied up with family business, but by tomorrow I'll be back in business and ready to get started. I'd like to request a position working in Dublin and even digging into the Tau sector to help expand our presence there. It's a bit more dangerous but I think with proper protection (whether I get one of our escorts or I hire them based on need) it could help increase profits and help us make a better name for ourselves. I'm also pretty good at taking care of myself if I have the right ship (armored transport, or a Camorra, etc).
Well I have a long trip ahead of me before I get back to port (OOC: Driving back to Ohio from Wisconsin) so I'll see you all in space as soon as I get home.
This news is music to my ears, yes if you so wish to Mine in the areas stated you may, as for escorts where running a bit low with all the pirate activity in Magellan and other boardering Libery systems so you may not have 24 hour support out there but we should be able to have a patrol or two based around the area to keep you in sensor range so we may assist if anything where to go wrong.
As for your mode of transport as you will mostly be out there on your own i think the Armoured Transport would be your best bet. I have one on my list thats ready to leave Southamton tomorrow afternoon and I have arranged equipment and a basic crew of 3 other to man the systems.
Now if you wish to make a move into the Tau 23 system i would also ask that you scan the whole system and download the Nav map details to my office for further use at a later date.
Well thats about it Pilot and its good to have you back with us.
In the interest of practicality, what is the preferred method of communication? Should I use voice chat like TeamSpeak or Ventrilo? Or do you usually communicate with some other program?
Earlier today I took the liberty of beginning a mining expedition in the Dublin system. I managed to fill my ship with gold and a few unfortunate Molly pilots who thought I was an easy target, but as I began to return I was accosted without warning by a pilot tagged only as "Key-G" who appeared to have no alignment or ID. It only took him a moment to overpower me and I subsequently lost my ship and entire cargo. He gave no explanation for his attack and simply continued to patrol the system with seemingly no particular goal. I have no idea who he is or what his intentions are, but he brought what would have been a productive day of mining to a screeching halt. I've spent the rest of the day arguing with the insurance company and trying in vain to plead my case to the authorities, who have ignored my request for sanction and have let the pilot go on his way.
Did you manage to get Sensor readings of the ship (Screenshots) that would help your case better and also if the ship was not IDed then the Gods will summon him to explain his attack on your vessel as for recovering the cost of your ship i will send out my best lawyers to deal with your case and hope that everything will be ship shape in the coming days.
This is bad news for us and in the Dublin system no less, it has the smell of independent Mollies about it, UOG would not be so bold and the DRA never take thier battels beyond the Arranmore Bar these days. Something else might be going on and i'll have to look into it right away.
Good luck out their Pilot and make sure you stay safe out there from now, we cannot aford to lose more shi...pilots out there anymore.

Well as you can see Profits are up and losses are down, this is mostly to the few new members we have and the fact that the Storage ship is full of Equipment apart from a few bits all was to hand.
Three new members within are ranks now i would like to wecome Mr Wilkenson,Matthews and Dhax and i hope they can do as well as the rest of you have over these last few months of myself and Relic taking over the main seats in BMM.
On other news I see that fewer of the older memebers have not been in space as of late if you have a reason for this please let me know and we can work around it.
Thank you all and keep up the good work, Director James Downing

Goodday sirs.
Happily i can announce that the Exeter made it too Southhampton shipyard.
A BMM Patrol from Douglasstation found us in omega 3 and escorted us to the shipyard.
After some emergency repairs and visiting family we decided too continu trading.
On oure trademissions the exeter was contacted by oure boss Mr relic.
He offered too escort the exeter on here voyage for a while.
Unfortunally he was called back too the office too soon.
I was on my way too New Berlin with my cargo when a Corsair Gunboat appeard in front of the exeter and demanded us too stop.
Name: Tempest.
ID: Corsair.
Ship: Gunboat.
Lost: 1 mil credits.
I reported him too the RM and they dispatched a bomberwing too intercept the criminal.
After many missions the current Exeter was scheduled too do full repairs on Southampton.
But there was terrible news.
The costs for repairs were too high.
So the crew and i decided too bring the ship too scarborough station and buy a new transporter into serviceof BMM.
The shipdealer Toby Harrison offerd us a bigger ship a large train.
seems too be the biggest ship in the BMM fleet.
Its now in service and also been called the Exeter[T]
Well thats it for now sirs i have too go, my crew pursuaded me going into Liberty today and we hoping too make some prodit there.
Ill sent you the report of the ships profits.
