The Liberty authorities clearly cannot train their pilots nor their administrative staff very well. Not only are the Liberty ships clearly ineffective in combat operations, the pilots are just as incompetant. Also, the ships are sent to their destruction by the dozen...
Scan of LONGRIFLE (potential weapon/AI designation, referred to R&D Department):
Liberty Police officer's Raven Claw destruction:
KaritO's Viper Disgronification:
Afterwards, I encountered an Interspace Commerce operative, flying a Liberty Navy Gunboat! His identification credentials, obviously falsified by Ageira, detailed him as a Freelancer operating in Liberty. It was obvious however that this "freelancer" was in fact a Liberty Government crony, testing reverse-engineered Nomad weaponry on the Lane Hackers!
Scan of Soleil_Noir (CC: LH R&D):
After the "Freelancer" left to California, I tailed the Gunboat to Planet Mojave. Here, I encountered an overzealous Liberty Police pilot, who engaged my Sabre in his Patriot. He was quickly dispatched.
Patriot Hull Magmafication:
Soon after the Patriot was scattered across Mojave's surface, 'LONGRIFLE' and his friend KaritO appeared again. The Raven Claw was easily dispatched again.
Hellflurry-induced explosion:
Effect of R&D "Nuclear Mine" on Viper Fighter:
As can be seen in the explosion picture, the Liberty Navy had a nearby Cruiser patrol in the area. Sensing danger, I moved to New York to escape.
In New York, I encountered 'LONGRIFLE' yet again! The LSF must be running out of ships, if they allow them to constantly get blown up.
Hellflurry-induced hull-decompression:
As my ship was damaged from this constant combat from the authorities, I headed off to Rochester for repairs and an extra compressed Cardamine canister. However, I was spotted along the way by two Liberty Navy Cruisers! Thinking the Jersey Debris Field would deter my pursuers, I cruised off to Rochester Base. The Liberty Navy Cruisers must have had mentally-damaged Captains, as they eagerly pursued. Soon, the two Cruisers were above Rochester Base!
Pict-capture A02432 (Rochester Cam-03):
Thankfully, the Junker "Oniros" managed to move the aggressive Cruisers along with diplomacy mixed with Mortar-based threats. His Civilian Bomber was very persuasive, it seems.
