*ahem* It's Mrs. Gray, but thank you for being polite.

It's far from an unprofesional attitude, I am just fed up with audacious traders thinking they know better than people who have been trained for decades to be able to handle military maneuvers.

Besides this, I shall counter your points in the order you listed them.

The official listing for Libertonian craft, available on public register is the following:

Heavy Capitals
Number of Liberty Dreadnought 84
Number of Liberty Assault Battlecruiser 73
Number of Liberty Cruiser 87

Light Capitals
Number of Liberty Gunboat 262

Strikecraft
Number of Avenger 154
Number of Guardian 466
Number of Liberator 152
Number of Upholder 156
Number of Executioner 53

So, I'm afraid your numbers are grossly overexaggerated. The very fact all this is available on public register tells me you are nothing more than another angry trader who perhaps did not receive the protection he felt he was deserved, travelling alone in the badlands.

The officer in question was not at all 'slandering' the LPI. He infact said 'blame the LPI', politely telling you to direct your unjustified anger towards them, as they are more than capable of listening to your story of immense horror, which really they hear every day because there are always traders who seem to never stick to the lanes

This isn't a point.

Yes you do, but you direct that to out PR department, not an on-duty officer.

I literally laughed at this. A trader lecturing a Naval admiral on system defence in a war climate. I think I'll send this email round the office. But seriously, you can throw fighters against Rheinland Bricks, but they won't do anything. You need bombers. Then you need dreadnoughts to cover those bombers from cruisers, and fighters to cover said bombers from gunboats. That is a brief lesson in fleet dynamics for you.

How many criminals have battleship class vessels? Very few. I can name four that venture into Liberty often. We have 84 mobile assets, so um... Yes. We do keep several in the core systems in the case of emergencies, but the true danger is on the Rheinland front. The LPI is more than equipped to deal with the pirates in the Liberty core systems as they possess gunboats and strikecraft of a superior design and weapons technology compared to these ragtag groups such as 'the Rogues' or 'Xenos'. They cannot however, protect anyone who decides to venture away the lanes.

I also laugh at this. You suggest that whenever a single vessel is encouteered, all mobile assets are sent to it's location. What have you been smoking, good tax payer?

For your next 'point', refer to my answer above. (What have you been smoking, good tax payer?)

This is where I draw the line at your immature attempt to seem sophisticated. What are you going to do, not pay taxes?

I have the ability to be impartial, but first you must do the same and lay aside whatever childish grudge you hold. Perhaps you were pirated, and were not aided by anyone? That is not our fault. You should have hired escorts as well. But until you stop your childish and laughable holy crusade, then your letters shall continue to circulate this office as a source of amusement.

Of course, if only our heads of military could be elected, and were trained by people such as you. Then we could allow Rheinland to take the Texas system and there would be less area for our 'overspread' forces to be able to do their jobs.

Vice Admiral Gray
