it has been some time since my last full report. That's not because I wasn't patrolling much within the Rheinland core space, but to blame the low lane traffic activity, Rheinland suffers currently. But that might be my personal point of view anyways. Nun, to list a few mentionable events of the last weeks: We suffered rather large wastings of Turtles to the bordering warzone, Texas. I'm calling it a waste because none of these assaults were lead by a high-ranked Miltary pilot. However, I've heard that they shot down a few Libertonians as well. Myself, I've often had to undergo the consequences, when the Liberty forces launched counterattacks. Where my bomber often faced the hostile heavy fleet all alone in Hamburg. To their disadvantage, Hamburgs planet defense systems are working well.
Secondly we experienced high Corsair activity in Omega-15 the other day. But together with the Forseti and excellent tactical skills, we were able to eliminate their fleet without any higher losses. One shooting of myself is attached from the archives.
Thirdly we had two encounters with the Communists from the Omegas, the Coalition. One time also in Omega-15 near the Omega-41 jumphole, where the enemy had no chance against a unbelievably high amount of Rheinland capital vessels, who were - against our Admiral's repeated orders - engaging their fighter squads, after they already outnumbered the hostile capitals. Such a waste of ressource shouldn't be tolerated in the future I'd say. And I'd like to remind you of our right to execute soldiers through death penalty, in case they disobey orders. Especially when given from our Admiral.
Lastly, some updated situation from yesterday evening. Gunter Rall and me decided to have a patrol in Stuttgart and Omega-7, when we came across a Corsair gunboat, an independent mercenary and a Red Hessian Jormungand at the Omega-3 gate. It was clear, that our first priority was the capital ship. And so we engaged it, since he wasn't responding to us nor moving. Oddly enough the Corsair and Freelancer supported us. Though, I won't comment on that. Unfortunately, the Hessian was jumping to Omega-3 when he noticed, that he won't survive this fight. So I made it quick and followed him. There arrived, out of a sudden, Rall's Wraith got penetrated by two sleazy... missiles, coming from the Hessian. In a rush, I saved his escape pod and called for capital support. Minutes later, and after dodging a thousands of other sleazy... missiles, a helpful capital pilot destroyed the dry Jormungand near Aland. After this was done, we returned to Karlsruhe, where Gunther and me... uhm. Ja, this was all for the patrol report. A few guncam pictures are attached below.
