I am an AI cruiser, Who saw an LPI battleship in destress with an outcast bomber and a gunboat just off planet manhatten.
Now, i said i was moving into assist the LPI (clearly stated i was moving in to assist... Kinda broadcasted it in caps)-- Once in permission i was supprised to find out that regardless of me screaming "LPI HOLD FIRE" and "AICV NOT IN COMBAT (directing to LPI)" continued to shoot apon me. Now i am not one to point fingers but seriously, this indevidual, if not tammed, can damage the LPI/LN/LP reputations and alliences incredibly.
If I had a penny for every time one of those "AI" cruisers has been spotted in Liberty, I'd have almost...fifty pennies by now - Almost enough for a half-decent steak at a good pub. Mind you, I find pub steak to be a little overcooked most of the time, unless its been properly pan fried, in which case--- I digress.
It clearly states in Liberty Law that foreign cruisers aren't permitted within the borders of Liberty - With death and destruction to swiftly follow if such a vessel is found lurking within our republic. You and your transistors may've had good intentions but it seems the captain of the Dreadnought was well within his/her jurisdiction to blow your capacitors to bits.
Nonetheless, once the full incident report has been filed, I'll read through it to see that everything was done by the book.
Surely your computers should have been able to analyse that a single bomber and gunboat would be no match for a battleship, so why would you still approach the Leavenworth? Perhaps you were just broadcasting false information in order to get past the kill zone in order to assist the outcasts. I think the captain of the Leavenworth did a good job preempting you.
Also, Malrone, this isnt really your juristiction. IF there is something to investigate, it will be by Liberty government and/or LPI internal affairs, not the navy.

Greetings,
This is Captain Remus Sius of the LNS-Douglas. I was personally at the site when the engagement took place... Here is the entire story:
LPI-Leavenworth was commanded by Vice President Eric Manfred Burtenstein of the LPI company. There was also a junker ship called the Alsatia. The Captain of the Alsatia apparently insulted Mr. Burtenstein by stating
Quote:I remember the last time I blew one of those things apart.
Referring to the Liberty Navy's Dreadnought... Mr Burtenstein got angry and well opened fire on the ship.
There where 3 Outcasts: Two of em are the Gyphon brothers and 1 was a Outcast tridente. They immediately opened fire upon the shooting of LPI Leavenworth....
The AI decided to assist the Dreadnought but the Mr.Burstenstein decided to shut the AI up by firing on his ship.
Here is a log prior to the destruction of ship:
Clearly the AI was moving in to assist the LPI. but I doubt if it will be solved that easily.
*having been in range of the battle, the Manhattan orbital sensors recorded the events leading to the AI cruiser's destruction, in a basic transcript. They are available for Navy, LSF and LPI review*

O300: The above posting is correct. Although my ship was "un-permitted" The LPI, Nor the LNS requested that my ship leave.
In my actions to assist the LPI, There must of been aslight Human error made by the commander of the battleship. In the heat of battle his human instinct was to :::: ignore the comm and shoot the biggest ship that is firing in a direction close to oneself :::: While not all captains/ commanders have this problem, Im simply emplying that the commander best to be aware of the battle situation.
My ship is now fine, However, We tend to now analyse the commander of the ship, as well as the situation at hand to see if they are mentaly fit to understand the meaning of the word 'assistance' And OR are in complete mental stablility to understand the surounding battle at hand... Before we actually power our weapons and begin support.
