Dear Elders, allow me to report my today's actions.
I am coming a bit hot so I'll make it short.
I was pirating traders passing through Omega 41 and managed to collect a 2 mil. contribution from trader named Orvidos. The transaction was quick, and he didn't protest much.
Then I hunted an IND trader Fellow Hoodlum, but his running techniques were on a very advanced level and I couldn't finish him before he docked at Helgoland Station and switched to his fighter which was parked at the station too. Another IND fighter Patrick Boone joined him and after quite a long fight I dedided to disengage and run because my ship lost all important parts of my weaponry. I will miss especially the Solaris guns which are not so easy to obtain these days. At least the Nomad guns are safe.
Yesterday was eventful to say the least. I made an incursion into the Outcast guard system, after hearing of an certain Outcast pilot, Margarita Cruz had entered aswell. When i arrived there, i found Margarita shooting a certain trader, Runner 001. Suprisingly, the trader was shooting back and doing a credible amount of damage to the fighter, albeit with kraken turrets.
Anyway, I engaged both of the targets, choosing the Outcast over the Trader as priority. I had multiple electronic failures during the fight, but managed to keep on going and eventually, after the demise of the trader, shoot down the Outcast.
However, both my wings were blown off just after the kill as the Almada fired missiles at me. Due to this massive loss of firepower, i was forced to withdraw from the system and make an emergency landing on Crete. I did revocer my equipment from the spares that i have in secure places, so I am fully outfitted again and ready to go.
On a separate note, I am sorry that i was not there Maniaco, as i had the usual business tieing me down on Crete.
OOC: Hmm Hmm Hmm... Corsairs and there damn lieing ability's...
Just thought I would point this out, this post is an entire lie as McNeo used every trick in to book to make it look like he won:P(Did it well too might I add)
Cruz was actually killed by an NPC as he tended to piss off the Outcast guard, (No McNeo, it was not you. As you were 3k away from him, running from me) and Montoya did run from the Almada....

Dear Elders, here is my report.
I have made contact with 3 different traders in Omegas, each encounter ended differently.
First one, Tonya_Rose, I offered her to get lost safely for only two milion credits or to drop her cargo, but surprisingly she didn't seem interested in the options I supplied and tried to run. She was quite resistant but finally I destroyed her Large Train in Cambridge. SF forces tried to comment it on open channels but I disappeared from there quickly. She was trying to confuse me that she had a battleship somewhere near but it just made me laugh. Nice trick...
Second one, trader Meep_meep, opened fire immediatelly. I must say that this one managed to scratch my hull but when he depleted all his bots and bats, he gave up and finally gave me the requested amount (standard 2 mils). He was fighting fairly and at least I didn't have the 'rabbit-killing' feeling as with the first trader who apparently forgot to equip the train with turrets.
Third one, my old 'friend' Orvidos, who thinks, he's the only smarta$$ in the universe. He switched his trading vessel from the defenceless Whale to Large Train but as he paid me with no shots fired last time and with only a few protests, I gave him the chance to finish his trading safely today. But I also suggested him to change his trade route in order not to loose his clever butt next time.
Anyway it seems that there is lack of skilled pirates these days and therefore traders feel much more self-confident than in the old and more chaotic days. I even noticed some IND escort fighters on long range scanners having nothing to do and fighting with each other to improve their lousy flying...
Elders, I think we shouldn't pretend we don't see it and should actively start recruiting some new and fresh blood. There is a lot work to do.

My friends, I am afraid I bring bad news today.
Black Squadron has recently declared War on the FEAR. And I wish to know The Brotherhoods status towards them, and if you will support Black Squadron in this War...
This faction was set to war for attacking not only Black Squadron pilots, but our friends and allies as well.
Please send any message in reply to this on the Black Squadron Comm Center.
Where have our leaders gone, i find myself asking. I never really got to know Atilla, and while I did meet Alexander a few times, he appears to be doing his own things keeping a low profile in the border worlds.
It is with some hesitation that I pleadge to get a Huntress and Osiris up and running for the cause of the TBH, as, unless otherwise stated, I shall be taking on the *temporary* leadership of the Brotherhood. Aquireing the Huntress will not be a problem, as a fellow corsair is looking to retire and hand his ship and crew over to us for a nominal fee. Unfortunatly, comming into the possesion of an Osiris will be alot harder, and I will have to make an effort to secure funds from multiple sources. My personal savings are minimal due to the amount of Titans i have had to replace, though. In my estimation, it should take about a month to secure the required funds for an Osiris, armour and weapons.
The FEAR have become more of a nuisance now that they have attacked Black Squadron, and my first order is to give the Bs| any assistance that you can in their war. The FEAR have attacked Corsair targets, and this cannot go unpunished.
Rest assured my brothers, that I will hand over control of the clan as soon as either Atilla or Alexander appear again from their "slumber".
Please tell me of any objections you have of me taking over temporary control of the clan. Also, as I am not the fully fledged leader, feel free to post your opinions on any subject, whether it be Bretonia, Outcasts, or internal issues such as smugglers and traders comming into our home. All your opinions on all your topics will be considered.
it felled to my little eye, that we, the BrotherHood have relatively more fighters and less capital ships than other factions, this especially has become very, very annoying when fightinh against gunboats or higher class ships.
now my question, which factions are our enemies, those we despise, and they who despise us.
as for another ask-The BrotherHood-question, bombers.. one word.. bombers, we could use some of then, can't we steal some bombers from Rheinland Military and modify them, this would be a first excellent step against higher class ships (2 torpedoes mounts ^_^, imagine 2 antimatter cannons)
Brother Morde out
A Memento Mori, for that we do not forget who we are:
Fragile, Weak, Ignorant, blind.
Fate gave us that what we needed, we took it all.
but remember, it is not fate which had shaped us
it is the Blood in our Veins, which'll be the Downfall of our Time

First of all Morde, we are not the run-of-the-mill other factions. But I do agree with your perfectly valid point, Brother Morde, about the need for bombers. I will try to use my contacts within Rhineland, but they will likely not succeed in securing us some Rhineland bombers. In which case, my aquaintances in Kusari should help us to aquire some GMG bombers (I know they dont look as good but they are still bombers) as their government is literally paying us to do their dirty work in Bretonia.
That being said, two well pilotted fighters can take out a destroyer. But I do agree we are in need of some heavy firepower without the need to buy capital ships. This is the reason why I am paying privately for the aquisition of my own Battleship and Cruiser. Because we simply do not want any more than we need. The fact that we dont actually have a Cruiser or Battleship in our current arsenal due to Alexander's disappearance means that there is a need for them. I can say though, that the battleship when I possess it, will hardly leave Corsair space. I need to go down to Cadiz at one point with the Osiris though and rid the Hessians of their presence in the system...on request from a Corsair based in the area.
I will start negotiations immediately... The Brotherhood will be informed when I have secured some of either bomber type to "go missing".
End Transmission
OOC: It is very unlikely that we could get any Rhineland bombers as they always keep a tight grip on whatever ships they have. The GMG bomber is seen to be the pirate bomber so that looks like the one that we will have to get. But wait and see...
