Tonight I ran across a smuggler ship named Wuuthrad coming into New York from Texas. I've seen this ship smuggling contraband through Liberty before, and there have been reports about it to Bowex, but tonight I was able to fully document the legal violations.
First, a basic cargo scan showed a full load of Cardamine. ID scan shows Bowex registration.
I asked him to cut his engines, but he refused to comply, so I gave him a warning, hit him with a few shots, then told him to cut the engines again. This happened a couple of times, but he continued moving. He started heading towards Norfolk, so I told him not to dock, but of course he did it anyway.
I think it's time to have his status with Liberty turned down a bit. Since I have no such authority, I'm passing this information on to the appropriate parties.
I have no authority either as i'm just a Merchant Trader Commander of the LNS|Braveheart.Escort, but I can concure to your findings as I narrowly missed this interception on 2 other occasions... It seems as if the Manhatten run of Cardimine is a regular thing for him and 2 others I have seen who use Shetlands Freighters.
This trader was warned if caught again he would be parted from his cargo and serverely punished by the authorities, however as we see again our Liberty rules are being flaunted by a few uncruperlous undesirables.... Nothing more to add except I will be on the look out for him until the powers that be are able to determin a course of action.
Sorry to butt in my friend but you saved me a job as I wasn't quick enough last time because he is very crafty and docking was at full throttle (usually docks over the Morring Fixture moving at 12 to 6 o'clock) then so could not submit a report with evidence.

Captain Rachel Baker here, Liberty Navy Primary Fleet, Mid Command.
I appreciate your efforts to reveal the crimes committed by the captain of the vessel Wuuthrad. I'll ensure that this incident report is passed on to High Command and that something is done about the vessel in question. I'd personally be amazed if the captain wasn't arrested as soon as he docked on Norfolk Station, if he wasn't though, he will be soon.
Another run in with Wuuthrad today in which he was pursued by a Navy Gunboat and ran into myself and another LPI officer at Fort Bush. He had a full load of cardamine and was ordered to stop, he attempted to use a tradelane which was immediatly cut, then docked on Ft Bush, a LPI base. I ask that his reputation within Liberty be changed to Hostile to prevent him from doing this, as from what it seems this is a regular occurance. I did not get a screen of the cargo, but I did get one of the demands listed, and him docking. http://i1156.photobucket.com/albums/p574/T...11/screen24.jpg
