Two things to say - one for those above, one for those below.

at about 2000 hours yesterday, I sortied from the Hades to seek targets of opportunity between T29 and Rishiri. After a good deal of time, listening posts positively identified an IDF cargo ship as it entered T23, presumably from Kyushu and not long afterwards - in T37. I moved in from the east. I spotted my query some 11k northeast of the T23 jumphole, stopped it immediately and - after a perfunctory exchange of platitudes, destroyed the enemy ship.

Soon afterwards, a GMS mining ship appeared and after moving in to investigate - I found it in the niobium field. It was a small-variety mining ship, seeminly waiting for a cargo ship, since there were containers full of niobium ore all around him. I dispersed the said containers and chased the miner out of the system.

Now for the less tedious part, addressed at those under my command:

Since our merry lot managed to accumulate a decent amount of salvage following the forced changes in our MO - I've decided to institute a discretionary reward fund as a means of addressing the irregular pay issues we've been having since invasion day.
From now on, every pilot and crew in our merry battlegroup will be wired a bonus for documented combat success.
Every time you wreck an enemy ship within the 49th's operating area - that is the Taus, plus Nagano and Rishiri - and provide evidence of it - you'll get a cash bonus from me, proportional to how brutally cunning or cunningly brutal your actions will be.

Go kill.
