I have found -=CyBeRb!rD=- Smuggling Cardimine in the New Tokyo system (I was on my trader at the time, as the screenie will show), and found him with this drug. I am saying this just so everyone knows that we have a new smuggler to look out for. KNF has been notified of the smuggler aswell.
I'm sending out this message to let everyone know that those pilots squawking [Rheinland] tags...they are NOT to be confused with the honorable and might Rheinland Military. We do NOT answer to them. They answer to us. If they don't, feel free to destroy with extreme prejudice. These yaks are flying to bordering systems trying to enforce Rheinland law. They are not part of us, I want no part of them. IF anyone undermines Rheinland authority, you know what to do.
And Miles, you were obviously off duty when you caught wind of that smuggler. If it doesn't happen in Rheinland it's not valid. We wait in orbit around New Berlin. We scan him as we should and we'll deal with him as we would any other smuggler thinking he can come into Rheinland under our noses.
Congratulations Captain Topf! As to the rest of you, keep up the good work.
Keep a tight rein on yourselves or i'll do it for you.

Lieutenant, I must say that only a poor craftsman blames his tools...
However, we may be able to rectify your problems. Your weaponry is inadequate by the sounds of things, so finding some shield disrupting guns might be wise. Their are known codename weapons which can fill this purpose, as well as mass produced civilian weapons which are capable indeed.
If it is not the guns that are the problem, make sure you get training with more experienced pilots immediately. Getting a thrashing in training now will save me speaking at your funeral later, son.... and you don't want me speaking at your funeral.... I can be overly blunt and truthful at such occasions and will likely offend your grieving mother.
Now, get back out there and don't get yourself killed!
Actung Rheinland Military! Today, a task force consisting of;
Captain Axel Topf
Commander Richthofen
Lieutenant Archer
Lieutenant Saarland (sorry if I got this wrong)
Encountered a Junker who failed to stop for scans and was generaly being a pain. We enaged and he escaped, the CSV Mk II proved elusive to our guns.
Shortly afterward, we encountered a Liberty Rouge Destroyer and engaged. He was destroyed. Unfortunatly, he took down our Pilot with him. WE tractored in his escape pod and his wrath was salvaged,
Ha! We finally nailed that Junker pilot, Walligig! His light, speedy Collector evaded our guns for such a vast amount of time, it was ridiculous!
I was joined in catching him by Gunther.Rall, an independent Rheinland pilot. We pinned the sod down for ages.
Then we were joined by Jack.Archer, Johann von Wolfhausen (Saarland) and eventually Erich.Hartmann.
Our combined guns were too hard for the fighter to avoid, and he was taken out. His skill at dodging was tremendous, I must say. After the fight I paid both Hartmann and Archer their wages and organised for repairs to the bombers on New Berlin.
However, some negative aspects in our ranks have been brought to light by recent events.
One) A lack of training the new recruits. Our bomber pilots are great, but the fighters are lacking in number and could do with some polish. Also, I myself am not accustomed to my new gunboat. It'll take time and scheduled training sessions before I get to my usual level of skill.
Two) A need for light fighters. That explains itself.
Three) A lack of discipline in the ranks. In particular I have suffered repeated insubordination from Johann von Wolfhausen (Saarland). For one, I am generally patient and easygoing with those of lower rank than me, but his behaviour is ridiculous.
I had been getting lip from him all day, and when his ship arrived, late, to the fight, he had the foolishness to lose his shields and fly at the muzzle of my missile turrets. You get the picture.
His smart-assedness after was even worse. I believe that this fool has even smart-mouthed Admiral Hiltraud before, unless I'm mistaken. Therefore, I suggest that he be demoted to the rank of Human Toilet Paper.
-----
However, I must say that the conduct of Lieutenants Hartmann and Archer was exemplary. Those boys know their ships well and if things go as I see them, they will both go very far, very fast.

I demand to know why the hell you are hacking Command Frequencies, pilot!
That can earn you a court-martial if you aren't careful! And you were damn sloppy, there! We cannot risk spies in the Military, son, especially concerning combat operations!
I'll let Admiral Hiltraud determine what is to be done, Lieutenant. I hope that she is in a good mood, for your sake.
