Greetings.
The prototype P-05RG’s advancement is still in progress. We encountered many problems. Nothing is to be reported from the reception of the ship itself, the problems lie in the equipments.
First of all. We are still waiting for the new « scanner ». I think our engineers knows what i’m mean. I wouldnt so much complain about delays in the delivery for this new technology in normal time, but this needs to be corrected at once.
Daumann’s head was clear enough on the importance of a rapid developpment of a gunboat wing in the Corporation.
Secondly, there is a problem in the linkage of the groups fire command. This has been revealed in the first encounter in real combat situation. I’ll get on that later. It seems I’ll have to go to the Ring back to fix this says my gunner crew.
Otherwise, due to this linkage problem, neither the forward gun nor the turrets could have been tested. As a result, I cant accept this prototype as a ready to fly ship. The test period is therefor extented to further results.
I believe you will soon recieved my report on this first combat mission.
You’ll find me near the shipyard area on the Ring if need.
