Message reply: This is the Captain of one of the aforementioned Gunboats.
Legally as Freelancers and free Citizens of Bretonia we have the right to buy and pilot
these vessels.
Until such a time as the law of the land is changed, and I as a Freelancer are not within my rights, to purchase and pilot a Gunboat, any attack on
our craft will be seen as unlawful and unjust.
All three ships were bought legally at Southampton Shipyard, they were a
batch of vessels with irreparably damaged power cores. The shipyard was
happy to take the premium price for three damaged craft.
Talk to Southampton if you have a problem with them selling your cast off damaged vessels.
If I had purchased one of your VHF's as a Freelancer I can bet I would not be receiving these unlawful threats.
So to sum up. We are a very lawful group of pilots and have already explained as such to the BAF that have enquired as to our nature and intentions.
We are not the sort of chaps to bust into Kusari or any other area where we would cause conflict due to the vessels at our command.
We have already come to the aid of Bretonia, destroying a Valor Battleship and it's gunboat escort. We have also aided Liberty destroying the Destroyer mentioned above. I hope you will not see us as a threat but more as, helpful free Citizens. Like a friendly neighbourhood watch.
I will be contacting my member of Parliament about the illegal sanctioning if lethal force towards three law abiding Citizens of Bretonia.
