I would like to report that the refit of engines and repair of weapons on my fighter are complete, and I took her out on a shakedown, modifications worked nicely and I took down quite a few junkers as well as corsairs. which leads me to the next part of my report.
While in Sigma-13 I hooked up with Victory, and we engaged a hostile attempting to steal credits from the traders passing through, We chased him to the Junker Base by the New Berlin jump hole and had him holed up there. A Hessian cruiser arrived, thankfully not to attack us, we enlisted his aid, since they are none to friendly with the corsairs he cooperated. The Corsair was removed from the system and told not to return under pain of death (Time of 12 hours or so from this post). I wanted to Verify some of his statement though, the hostiles callsign was Sinistre, and claimed to have had a part in our CEO's attack.
I was unable to do anything about that, what with the cruisers weapons trained on us and the corsair, and we allowed him to leave the system unharmed. It is my belief that we may see more corsairs in the future and in greater numbers. We just told them their all you can eat buffet is closed, and I dont think they liked that much. I would like to request the presence of a Cruiser in this system so we can have a bit more fire support, as I believe they will be bringing in some bigger guns as well. I would, it would make sense, we are already quite hostile towards them, and now we are moving into a system they believe is 'theirs', it is a natural escalation of the situation. I can provide some credits towards this end if it is needed, I have roughly 60 million credits, what with my private train I use when not on duty. (Have to supplement my income some how) And the occasional gift from a Trader, although those are far and few between.
Given the situation now, I do not recomend flying solo, pilots should be paired up with a schedule of flight times if possible. And We should also let Traders know that while we are attempting to secure the system, we cannot be everywhere, and there is strength in numbers, and that perhaps when doing runs, the approach of a Convoy would be the best way to go.
