Pilot Thomas Müller reporting,
In the last day 8, I joined Wachmann Carsten and Oberst Wolthers, after Carsten had called for backup after intercepting a smuggler in Omega 11. A Junker Liner with the sugestive name of Killed_By_Death, hauling Blood Diamonds. I was in my Raven's Talon fighter. As I arrived at the scene the junker was trying to flee. We attacked the ship, inflicting moderate damage, but he was able to get to the protection of Freital Base's guns.
After that, Oberst Wolthers received a call and returned to base, Carsten and I continued the patrol. Then we received a call from a RNC cruiser in Omega 7, about a secondary fleet IMG Hegemon miner with illegal equipment, a cloaking device in this case.
We proceeded to the location and encountered the RNC-Zerstorer. The captain claimed he had found an IMG secondary fleet miner on the Kruger designated mining area. As per the RNC captain, the miner proceeded to cloak and disapear right in front of him.
There is one thing the RNC captain said that caught my attention. I will add the comms record transcript here:
Quote:[08.01.2014 21:45:10] RNC-Zerstorer: Kruger directors are strict about these stealing atempts
[08.01.2014 21:45:28] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: I should remind you there are laws how to deal with this.
[08.01.2014 21:45:30] RNC-Zerstorer: They are thinking of puting a kill on sight order for anyone trespassing in their mining zone
[08.01.2014 21:45:43] RFP|Wach:Thomas.Muller: Really?
[08.01.2014 21:45:43] RNC-Zerstorer: I can't blame them
[08.01.2014 21:45:58] RFP|Wach.Laura.Carsten: Hmm...
[08.01.2014 21:46:03] RFP|Wach:Thomas.Muller: Do you have contacts in Kruger, sir? How do you know that?
[08.01.2014 21:46:05] RNC-Zerstorer: Aperently laws are having no efect...
Carsten and myself explained to the captain that there are laws and proceedings on how to deal with these things, and he promptly agreed to foward all evidence of the cloaking miner in the Kruger field. Three days later I am still waiting for the said evidence.
A few moments after that conversation, a Hegemon with the callsign Stratos apeared, coming from the Stuttgart gate. The RNC claimed that was the miner he saw at the Kruger field with a cloaking device. But my scanners found no such device installed.
With no proof at that time against the ship, we let the Stratos continue on its way, with a warning for not mining outside the designated areas, waiting for the evidence that never got fowarded to take any action.
